| seroprevalence of rickettsia typhi and rickettsia conorii infection among rodents and dogs in egypt. | a serological survey of 1813 rodent and 549 dog sera, collected from 1979 to 1986 from animals in 16 egyptian governorates were tested for antibody to rickettsia typhi and rickettsia conorii by the indirect fluorescent antibody test. only three of 82 (4%) sera from rattus rattus collected near aswan had antibody to r. conorii. the prevalence of r. typhi antibody in dog sera was only 0.4% (n = 549) while 25% (n = 547) of rattus norvegicus and 11% (n = 1138) of r. rattus had measurable antibodies. ... | 1989 | 2509729 |

| a study of plesiomonas shigelloides from human, pets and aquatic environments. | the present study was performed for determination of distribution of p. shigelloides in human, pet animals, fish and shellfish and water in alexandria. p. shigelloides was recovered from 3.2% of diarrheal patients and 2.67% food handlers indicating the importance of plesiomonas as one of the enteric pathogen and reflecting the public health hazard in egypt. this organism was found to be more pathogenic in infants as 75% of the diarrheal patients were infants under 2 years of age. the isolation r ... | 1993 | 17265650 |

| natural infections of leishmania major in domestic dogs from alexandria, egypt. | two leishmanial isolates from dogs from alexandria, egypt, were typed serologically and biochemically as leishmania major. this is the second time that l. major has been shown to occur in dogs. the significance of these findings as a misleading phenomenon in relation to the relatively recent outbreak of infantile kala-azar in the area of alexandria is discussed. | 1987 | 3605504 |
| the discovery and preliminary characterization of a novel trypanosomatid parasite from rattus norvegicus and stray dogs from alexandria, egypt. | a survey of rodents and dogs was carried out in alexandria and its environs to see if an animal reservoir was associated with an outbreak of infantile kala-azar in this area. three rodent species, rattus rattus, rattus norvegicus and mus musculus, were commonly trapped and examined. a flagellate parasite was isolated from the spleens of two r. norvegicus. it was typed serologically by excreted factor serotyping and enzymologically by thick starch electrophoresis of four of its enzymes: gpi, g6pd ... | 1988 | 3257073 |
