| serologic studies on brucellosis, leptospirosis and tularemia in moose (alces alces) in quebec. | blood samples were obtained from 208 moose in la vérendrye and matane reserves and in laurentides park, quebec, canada. sera were tested for antibodies to brucella abortus, leptospira interrogans serovar ballum, canicola, grippotyphosa, hardjo, icterohaemorrhagiae and pomona, and francisella tularensis. fifteen sera contained evidence of prior exposure to f. tularensis. only one animal was a seroreactor to l. interrogans serovar grippotyphosa and none of them had antibodies to b. abortus. | 1984 | 6429355 |

| seroprevalence of zoonoses in a cree community (canada). | cree trappers and hunters are at risk for contracting infectious diseases conveyed by wildlife. we performed a study in a cree community (canada) to determine the seroprevalence of 8 zoonotic infections among hunters and trappers for evidence of exposure to trichinella sp., toxoplasma gondii, toxocara canis, echinococcus granulosus, leptospira sp., coxiella burnetii, francisella tularensis, and sin nombre virus. a total of 50 participants (28 women and 22 men) were included in this study. result ... | 2007 | 17878068 |
| seroepidemiologic study of three zoonoses (leptospirosis, q fever, and tularemia) among trappers in québec, canada. | this study was undertaken to evaluate the prevalence of antibodies against francisella tularensis, coxiella burnetii, and certain serovars of leptospira interrogans among trappers in québec, canada. muskrat trapping was identified as a risk factor for f. tularensis infection, whereas having a cat at home apparently protected trappers against infection by l. interrogans. high percentages of control sera were positive for antibodies against c. burnetii (15%) and l. interrogans (5%), most frequentl ... | 1995 | 7583933 |
| tularemia, plague, yersiniosis, and tyzzer's disease in wild rodents and lagomorphs in canada: a review. | information related to infection of wild rodents or lagomorphs in canada by francisella tularensis, yersinia pestis, other yersinia spp., and clostridium piliforme was searched for this study. reports on tularemia in humans linked to these species came from diagnostic databases, literature, wildlife health specialists, and public health agencies. tularemia has been diagnosed in 8 species of wild rodent and 2 species in the genus lepus in canada. tularemia occurred in wild animals, or in humans a ... | 2009 | 20190973 |
| seroprevalence of 10 zoonotic infections in 2 canadian cree communities. | we evaluated the seroprevalence of 10 zoonotic agents among the general population (15 years old and over) of eastmain and wemindji, james bay, quebec, in 2007. overall seroprevalence rates were similar between the 2 communities. nearly half the individuals tested (n = 251; 146 women, 105 men) were seropositive (n = 115) for at least one zoonosis. the highest seroprevalence rates were for leptospira sp. (23%), francisella tularensis (17%), and the california serogroup viruses (jc and ssh viruses ... | 2011 | 21398073 |
