| [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 |
| enterocytozoon bieneusi (microsporidia) in faecal samples from domestic animals from galicia, spain. | in this survey we examined 87 domestic animal stool samples in order to detect the possible presence of microsporidia in animals in close contact with humans in galicia (nw, spain). the detection of enterocytozoon bieneusi spores was confirmed in faecal samples from two dogs and one goat by polymerase chain reaction. none of the positive samples for microsporidia in the staining method were amplified with species-specific primers for encephalitozoon intestinalis, e. hellem and e. cuniculi. four ... | 2002 | 12471418 |
| importance of house dust and storage mites in canine atopic dermatitis in the geographic region of galicia, spain. | sensitisation to mites is frequent in atopic dogs. the main mite genus involved in canine atopic dermatitis is dermatophagoides. the importance of storage mite allergens in dogs has been controversial. the aim of this study was to evaluate the sensitisation rates against storage mites (lepidoglyphus destructor and tyrophagus putrescentiae) and house dust mites (dermatophagoides farinae and d. pteronyssinus) in atopic dogs from galicia, a highly humid and temperate region of spain, using a fcepsi ... | 2008 | 18669243 |
| serological reactivity to ehrlichia canis, anaplasma phagocytophilum, neorickettsia risticii, borrelia burgdorferi and rickettsia conorii in dogs from northwestern spain. | the aim of the present work was to investigate the seroprevalence against ehrlichia canis (ec), anaplasma phagocytophilum (ap), neorickettsia risticii (nr), rickettsia conorii (rc), and borrelia burgdorferi (bb) in two different clusters of canine samples from northwestern spain. cluster 1 included 479 dogs presented at veterinary clinics located in ourense and pontevedra. cluster ii included 170 dogs from the public kennel of ourense. all 649 canine serum samples were analyzed by immunofluoresc ... | 2008 | 18597660 |
| epidemiology of neosporosis in dairy cattle in galicia (nw spain). | this comprehensive study of neosporosis in dairy cattle in galicia (nw spain) included: (1) a comparative study of three serological techniques for detection of neospora caninum antibodies (direct agglutination, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and indirect immunofluorescence); (2) a cross-sectional serological survey in which 276 herds and 5,196 animals were tested; (3) a study of n. caninum antibody dynamics; (4) the isolation of viable tachyzoites of n. caninum. data were analysed to determi ... | 2008 | 17899194 |
| seroprevalence of leishmania infantum in northwestern spain, an area traditionally considered free of leishmaniasis. | northwestern spain has traditionally been considered to be free from leishmaniasis. the aim of this work was to determine the prevalence of canine leishmaniasis in this area and to assess the influence of several risk factors on the incidence of this disease. a total of 479 dogs attended at different veterinary clinics in northwestern spain were tested for l. infantum with the immunofluorescent antibody (ifa) test. the seroprevalence of l. infantum in this area was 3.7%. most of the seropositive ... | 2004 | 15604485 |
| two years' activity of the veterinary toxicology attention service of lugo, spain. | the veterinary toxicology attention service was created at the beginning of 2001 as the first on-line toxicology service for veterinarians and animal owners in spain. in the present study, data about the general functioning of the service and the toxicological analysis and consultations performed are summarized. canine-related cases constituted the main call group and veterinary practitioners represented half of the consultations. coordination between all veterinary toxicology services in spain ... | 2004 | 14748419 |
