low prevalence of escherichia coli o157:h7 in horses in ohio, usa.	manure from draft animals deposited in fields during vegetable and fruit production may serve as a potential source of preharvest pathogen contamination of foods. to better quantify this risk, we determined the prevalence of escherichia coli o157:h7 in horses. between june and september 2009, freshly voided fecal samples were collected from horses stabled on 242 separate premises in ohio, usa. overall, the prevalence of e. coli o157:h7 was 1 of 242 (0.4% prevalence, 95% confidence interval [ci] ...	2010	21219723

serologic evidence for rabbit syncytium virus in eastern cottontail rabbits (sylvilagus floridanus) in ohio.	thirteen of 20 eastern cottontail rabbit (sylvilagus floridanus) sera collected near delaware, ohio (usa) in 1991 were positive by indirect immunofluorescent antibody test (ifat) for antibody to rabbit syncytium virus (rsv), a kemerovo serogroup orbivirus. in addition, two of 10 domestic bovine sera and three of 30 sheep sera collected in southeastern ohio gave weak positive ifat reactions to rsv.	1993	8394944

effect of environmental stimuli on pre-infective and infective stages of haemonchus contortus in the northern united states for the induction of hypobiosis.	the effects of both natural and artificial conditioning of pre-infective and infective stages of haemonchus contortus were examined in two studies with 108 crossbred lambs, using an ohio isolate of h. contortus known to exhibit up to 100% winter hypobiosis. the intensity of hypobiosis varied from 0 to 36% in 17 lamb groups given larvae subjected to various temperature and photoperiod conditions. the results in lambs given larvae conditioned for 4-8 weeks were not significantly different from tho ...	1990	2353422
changes in the hatch rate of haemonchus contortus eggs between geographic regions.	vulvar phenotypes and the rate of development of eggs over a range of temperatures were used to compare haemonchus contortus populations in new york state and ohio. these parameters indicated that the westernmost boundary of the subspecies haemonchus contortus cayugensis is the chautauqua valley in new york. the haemonchus ecotype in ohio had a vulvar phenotype formula similar to that described for the subspecies haemonchus contortus contortus. the relationship between slope and intercept of the ...	1976	988532
