| [the first operations performed with chloroform in spain. more facts and new contributions]. | although the issue of clinical introduction of chloroform in spain was rather controversial, we can assure now with no doubt that first news of its discovery reached our country by the end of november and beginning of december of 1847. the cities first receiving those first news were cádiz, madrid, barcelona, and santiago de compostela; in the latter two cities, during the first days of december, the new anesthetic agent was already available and the first experiments on dogs were conducted in 1 ... | 1991 | 1961964 |

| results from an indirect fluorescent antibody test using three different strains of ehrlichia canis. | an indirect fluorescent antibody (ifa) test is usually performed to detect antibodies in dogs naturally infected by ehrlichia canis. in this work, results obtained using three different e. canis strains as antigen (a commercial antigen, the e. canis oklahoma strain and the e. canis madrid strain) were compared. one hundred and forty-nine serum samples obtained from dogs living in the centre of spain were analysed. when qualitative results were evaluated, identical results were detected in 87.2% ... | 2009 | 18760641 |
| a leishmaniosis surveillance system among stray dogs in the region of madrid: ten years of serodiagnosis (1996-2006). | two seroepidemiological surveys on canine leishmaniosis in stray dogs were performed annually in the madrid region for 10 years (november 1996-april 2006). the presence of anti-leishmania antibodies was detected by immunofluorescence antibodies test (cut off 1:100). the overall seroprevalence found in the 1,803 dogs studied was 7.8% (141 positive dogs). seropositivity was not associated with either breed or sex. statistical analysis revealed greater seroprevalence in groups of older dogs, indica ... | 2007 | 17323100 |

| pavlov in spain. | reflexology has been present throughout spanish science since the last third of the nineteenth century and its importance can be seen in the works of authors such as martín salazar, ramón y cajal, gómez ocaña, simarro and turró. the most important research in reflexology in spain takes place a) at the schools of neurophysiology and psychology in barcelona and madrid, b) with a group of authors specializing in pathological medicine and c) in the military's health department, pavlov's work was rec ... | 2003 | 14628695 |
| practical approach for typing strains of leishmania infantum by microsatellite analysis. | currently the universally accepted standard procedure for characterizing and identifying strains of leishmania is isoenzyme analysis. however, in the mediterranean area, despite their very wide geographical distribution, most leishmania infantum strains belong to zymodeme mon-1. in order to increase our understanding of polymorphism in strains of l. infantum, we developed pcr assays amplifying 10 microsatellites and sequenced pcr products. the discriminative power of microsatellite analysis was ... | 2002 | 12202583 |
| epidemiology of canine leishmaniasis in the madrid region, spain. | a cross-sectional serological survey was carried out in the madrid autonomous region (comunidad de madrid) in order to study and describe canine leishmaniasis epidemiology. the presence of leishmaniasis-specific antibodies was ascertained by immunofluorescence testing, 591 dogs were screened, revealing a prevalence of 5.25% (95% confidence interval 7.4-3.6), with no difference being encountered between rural and periurban areas. age-specific prevalence exhibits a peak at 2-3 years and another at ... | 1995 | 7672069 |
| isolation of an agent of the spotted fever group rickettsia from tick eggs in madrid, spain. | ticks recovered from dogs in rural villages around madrid (spain) were processed to isolate rickettsiae. one sample containing mixtures of ticks and four containing eggs, in which rickettsiae had been detected by indirect immunofluorescence with a human serum highly reactive to rickettsia conorii, were decontaminated, homogenized and inoculated onto vero cells. two egg samples yielded a cytopathic agent that reacted positively by immunofluorescence. one sample (14h) was successfully subcultured ... | 1992 | 1601085 |

| mapping the current distribution and predicted spread of the leishmaniosis sand fly vector in the madrid region (spain) based on environmental variables and expected climate change. | leishmaniosis caused by leishmania infantum is a widespread zoonotic disease that is endemic in the mediterranean basin. based on prior point abundance data for the two sand fly vectors of leishmaniosis in the madrid region (phlebotomus perniciosus and phlebotomus ariasi), models were constructed to predict the spatial distribution patterns of these vectors. the models were obtained by negative binomial regression of several environmental variables and then used to map vector distributions. to v ... | 2011 | 21417927 |
| occurrence and genetic characterization of giardia duodenalis from captive nonhuman primates by multi-locus sequence analysis. | giardia is the most common enteric protozoan that can be pathogenic to both humans and animals. transmission can be direct through the faecal-oral route, or through ingestion of contaminated water or food. genetic characterization of giardia duodenalis isolates has demonstrated the existence of seven groups (assemblages a to g) which differ in their host distribution. assemblages a and b are present in humans and other primates, dogs, cats, rodents, and other species of wild mammals, but the rol ... | 2011 | 21327988 |
