| epidemiology of leptospirosis in new caledonia (south pacific): a one-year survey. | we describe a series of 144 cases of leptospirosis diagnosed in 1989 in new caledonia. the incidence rate was 90 per 100,000 person-years, with a specific mortality rate of 4% patients. those affected (100 males, 44 females) were mainly aged 20 to 40 years. incidence in rural areas (112 per 100,000 person-years) was seven times higher than in urban settlements. two periods with higher incidence were noticed corresponding to highest rainfall. twenty-nine of the cases occurred in individuals with ... | 1997 | 9084999 |
| eight-plasmid system for rapid generation of influenza virus vaccines. | the antigenic variation of influenza a virus hemagglutinin (ha) and neuraminidase (na) glycoproteins requires frequent changes in vaccine formulation. the classical method of creating influenza virus seed strains for vaccine production is to generate 6 + 2 reassortants that contain six genes from a high-yield virus, such as a/pr/8/34 (h1n1) and the ha and na genes of the circulating strains. the techniques currently used are time-consuming because of the selection process required to isolate the ... | 2002 | 12163268 |

| bartonellae in animals and vectors in new caledonia. | bartonellae are gram-negative facultative intracellular alpha-proteobacteria from the family bartonellaceae. the natural history of bartonellae consists of a reservoir/host, which is a vertebrate with chronic intravascular infection with sustained bacteremia, and a vector (usually an arthropod) that transfers the bacteria from the reservoir to a susceptible yet uninfected host. in order to reveal the sources and reservoirs of bartonella infection in animals and vectors in new caledonia, we colle ... | 2011 | 22018646 |
| Toxoplasma gondii in wild and domestic animals from New Caledonia. | Samples (serum or meat juice) collected from 205 animals in New Caledonia in April 2009 were tested for antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii by ELISA using the multi-species ID Screen® Toxoplasmosis Indirect kit (IDVET, Montpellier). Antibodies to T. gondii were detected in 2% (1/49) of the pigs, in 3.3% (1/30) of the cattle, in 13.8% (4/29) of Rusa deers, in 16% (4/25) of the horses, in 32.8% (21/64) of the dogs, and in 50% (4/8) of cats. Statistically, no significant difference was observed be ... | 2011 | 22091467 |
