| ancient wolf lineages in india. | all previously obtained wolf (canis lupus) and dog (canis familiaris) mitochondrial (mt) dna sequences fall within an intertwined and shallow clade (the 'wolf-dog' clade). we sequenced mtdna of recent and historical samples from 45 wolves from throughout lowland peninsular india and 23 wolves from the himalayas and tibetan plateau and compared these sequences with all available wolf and dog sequences. all 45 lowland indian wolves have one of four closely related haplotypes that form a well-suppo ... | 2004 | 15101402 |
| emergence of arctic-like rabies lineage in india. | a collection of 37 rabies-infected samples, 10 human saliva and 27 animal brain, were recovered during 2001-2004 from the cities of bangalore and hyderabad in southern india and from kasauli, a mountainous region in himachal pradesh, northern india. phylogenetic analysis of partial n gene nucleotide sequences of these 37 specimens and 1 archival specimen identified 2 groups, divided according to their geographic (north or south) origins. comparison of selected indian viruses with representative ... | 2007 | 17370523 |
| the rk39 immunochromatic dipstick testing: a study for k39 seroprevalence in dogs and human leishmaniasis patients for possible animal reservoir of cutaneous and visceral leishmaniasis in endemic focus of satluj river valley of himachal pradesh (india). | the newly recognized endemic focus of leishmaniasis in satluj river valley of himachal pradesh (india) has both localized cutaneous leishmaniasis (lcl) and visceral leishmaniasis (vl) predominantly caused by leishmania donovani. rapid rk39 immunochromatographic dipstick test detects circulating antibodies to recombinant k39 antigen of l. donovani-infantum complex and is highly specific/sensitive in diagnosing symptomatic or asymptomatic infection in humans and dogs. | 2009 | 19172032 |
