| seroprevalence of toxoplasma gondii infection in domestic pigeons (columba livia) in guangdong province of southern china. | little information on epidemiology of toxoplasma gondii infection in pigeons was available in people's republic of china. in the present study, sera from 275 pigeons raised in different commercial flocks in guangdong province of southern china were evaluated using modified agglutination test (mat). specific antibodies were found in sera of 8.7% of 275 pigeons (mat titer ≥ 1:5), and the seropositivity of eight herds we surveyed varied ranging from 0 to 18.2%. the results demonstrated the circulat ... | 2010 | 21208745 |
| molecular characterization of cryptosporidium spp. in domestic pigeons (columba livia domestica) in guangdong province, southern china. | to investigate the prevalence and assess the zoonotic transmission burden of cryptosporidium species in domestic pigeons in guangdong province, southern china, 244 fecal samples were collected from four pigeon breeding farms between june 2012 and march 2013. cryptosporidium oocysts were purified by sheather's sugar flotation technique and characterized by dna sequencing of small subunit ribosomal rna (ssu rrna) gene. cryptosporidium species were determined by comparison of sequences with corresp ... | 2015 | 25773186 |
