| parvovirus b19-antibody serosurvey in 500 developmentally disabled subjects. | sera of 500 residents were screened for parvovirus b19 immunoglobulin m (igm) and immunoglobulin g (igg) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. positive igm and equivocal igg or igm results were confirmed by immunofluorescent antibody and western blot. igm was detected in 13 sera (2.6%), and igg was detected in 285 (57%). records of igm-positive residents contained no evidence of erythema infectiosum or polyarthropathy. | 1997 | 9154477 |
| viral antibodies in coyotes from california. | prevalence of antibodies against canine parvovirus (cpv), canine distemper virus (cdv), and canine adenovirus type 1 (cav) were determined among 152 coyotes (canis latrans) at the naval petroleum reserves (nprc; california, usa) from 1985 to 1990. overall prevalence of antibodies to cpv, cdv, and cav was 66%, 37%, and 68%, respectively. prevalence of cpv and cdv varied significantly among years. antibody prevalence did not differ between sexes for any disease, but did vary significantly among ag ... | 1998 | 9577772 |
| evidence of muscovy duck parvovirus in muscovy ducklings in california. | muscovy duck parvovirus (mdpv) has been demonstrated in tissue samples from one- to four-week-old commercially reared muscovy ducks that were weak, unable to walk and had a high mortality rate. on postmortem examination, the thigh and leg muscles, and the myocardium were found to be pale, and there was a fibrinous exudate on the capsule of the liver, and ascites. the parvovirus was isolated in embryonated muscovy duck eggs and visualised by negative stain electron microscopy, detected by polymer ... | 2000 | 10674693 |
| serologic survey for selected infectious disease agents in swift and kit foxes from the western united states. | a serologic survey of swift fox (vulpes velox) and kit fox (v. macrotis) from the western usa was conducted for 12 infectious diseases. samples from swift fox were collected between 1987 and 1992 from colorado (n = 44), kansas (n = 10), and wyoming (n = 9). samples from kit fox were collected in california (n = 86), new mexico (n = 18), utah (n = 9), and arizona (n = 6). overall antibody prevalence rates were 33 of 110 (30%) for canine parvovirus (cpv), 9 of 72 (13%) for canine distemper virus ( ... | 2000 | 11085448 |
| exposure to feline and canine pathogens in bobcats and gray foxes in urban and rural zones of a national park in california. | exposure of bobcats (lynx rufus) and gray foxes (urocyon cinereoargenteus) to a range of common canine and feline pathogens was assessed in urban and rural zones of golden gate national recreation area, a national park in the san francisco bay area, (california, usa) from 1992 to 1995. testing included serology for canine distemper virus, canine parvovirus (cpv), canine adenovirus, leptospira interrogans, feline calicivirus (fcv), feline panleukopenia virus, feline herpesvirus, feline enteric co ... | 2004 | 15137484 |

| occurrence of canine parvovirus type 2c in the united states. | canine parvovirus (cpv) type 2 (cpv-2) emerged around 1978 as a major pathogen of dogs worldwide. in the mid-1980s, the original cpv-2 had evolved and was completely replaced by 2 variants, cpv-2a and cpv-2b. in 2000, a new variant of cpv (named cpv-2c) was detected in italy and now cocirculates with types 2a and 2b in that country. the cpv-2c has also been reported from single outbreaks in vietnam and spain. this study was conducted to determine if cpv-2c occurs in the united states. thirty-thr ... | 2007 | 17823398 |
| genetic signature of rapid ihhnv (infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus) expansion in wild penaeus shrimp populations. | infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus (ihhnv) is a widely distributed single-stranded dna parvovirus that has been responsible for major losses in wild and farmed penaeid shrimp populations on the northwestern pacific coast of mexico since the early 1990's. ihhnv has been considered a slow-evolving, stable virus because shrimp populations in this region have recovered to pre-epizootic levels, and limited nucleotide variation has been found in a small number of ihhnv isolates stu ... | 2010 | 20668694 |
