canine atopic disease: the prevalence of positive intradermal skin tests at two sites in the north and south of great britain.	results of intradermal skin test responses to the same panel of 53 allergens were compared in 118 dogs with atopic disease presented at two geographical centres, edinburgh (87 cases) and london (31 cases). the allergens most commonly positive at both centres were human dander and dermatophagoides farinae, but positive tests to all of the allergens used occurred in at least one case. the mean number of allergens to which positive tests resulted in atopic dogs was 5.126 (edinburgh) and 5.129 (lond ...	1995	7747407
the development of cimetidine: 1964-1976. a human story.	there was still controversy regarding the physiology of acid secretion in 1964 when a team at smith kline & french laboratories in england started a project to prove the existence of more than one receptor for histamine and to find a substance capable of blocking the effects not blocked by the commonly used antihistamines. the team was convinced that histamine was the final mediator of acid secretion. after 8 years, james black and his coworkers published evidence of the first histamine2-recepto ...	1994	7806839
contractility of lungs and air-tubes: experiments performed in 1840 by charles j.b. williams.	in the 18th century, some medical practitioners considered the main pathological feature of asthma to be the production of mucus. later, during the 19th century, airway smooth muscle contraction was recognized to be a possible cause of airflow obstruction. however, not until 1840 was the contractility of airway smooth muscle clearly established by charles j.b. williams, a famous london physician. in a number of innovative experiments in dogs, rabbits, livestock and even donkeys, he showed: 1) th ...	1994	8013615
epidemiological and diagnostic features of canine and feline dermatophytosis in the united kingdom from 1956 to 1991.	between 1956 and 1991, 8349 samples from dogs and cats were received for investigation of suspected dermatophytosis, and 1368 (16 per cent) yielded positive cultures. cats had a significantly higher proportion of positive cultures (26 per cent) than dogs (10 per cent), and of these microsporum canis accounted for 92 per cent in cats and 65 per cent in dogs. the other isolates were diverse but mainly sylvatic dermatophytes, and m gypseum was isolated on only four occasions. different breeds of do ...	1993	8212483
studies on the epizootiology of canine coronavirus.	the seroprevalence and, or, incidence of canine coronavirus infection was determined in several dog populations in the uk. seroprevalence ranged from 76 per cent for a rescue kennel to 100 per cent in a commercial breeding colony. in the rescue kennel there was no difference in seroprevalence of the virus between dogs less than or more than four months of age. in the breeding colony, subclinical seroconversion occurred between six and 10 weeks of age. the virus was isolated from faecal samples f ...	1993	8382389
prevalence of antibodies to neospora caninum in a population of urban dogs in england.	of 163 dogs, randomly selected from those examined at the university of liverpool small animal hospital, 12.9 per cent had antibody titres > or = to 1/200 to neospora caninum in an indirect fluorescent antibody test. none was apparently suffering clinical neosporosis. there was no association between the occurrence of neospora antibodies and either toxoplasma antibodies measured by the dye test, sex, age, type of feeding or the presence of other dogs in the household. antibody was detected at ti ...	1993	8447050
the seasonality of canine births and human campylobacteriosis: a hypothesis.	the seasonality of canine births was investigated using records from the kennel club and the breeding centre for the guide dogs for the blind association. in these populations a distinct seasonal pattern was found with a greater number of puppies being born in the summer months than the winter. the hypothesis that the greater number of puppies acquired as pets during the summer months may contribute to the seasonal rise in human campylobacter cases, seen at this time, is discussed.	1993	8472770
borrelia burgdorferi infection in uk horses.	antibody levels (igg and igm) to borrelia burgdorferi were measured in the sera and synovial fluids of uk horses. western blotting against b. burgdorferi was also used on samples from seropositive horses. a low incidence of seropositivity was shown in horses from most parts of the uk. this increased in areas that have a high incidence of human and canine borreliosis (norfolk and south coast). leptospira infections of horses did not cause cross reactions in the b. burgdorferi elisa. most horses d ...	1994	8542836

the distribution of clostridium difficile in the environment of south wales.	a large study of the distribution of clostridium difficile in the environment of the cardiff area of south wales was performed with a methodology designed to maximise recovery. a total of 2580 samples was taken, with 184 (7.1%) yielding isolates. the highest yield for c. difficile was obtained from river waters, with 14 (87.5%) of 16 samples from four rivers positive, and from sea water samples with 7 (44%) of 15 positive from six beaches on the bristol channel. in addition, 7 (46.7%) of 15 samp ...	1996	8683549
computer-aided veterinary learning at the university of cambridge.	an approach of computer-assisted learning in veterinary education at the university of cambridge, involving the development of four types of learning module, is outlined. a tutorial on regional perineural anaesthesia in the horse, based on the familiar tape-slide format but with significant improvements, is described. a question and answer self-assessment package and a computer-based 'digital lecture' are also discussed, together with a case simulation involving the investigation of a polydipsic ...	1996	8686151
angiostrongylus vasorum infection in foxes (vulpes vulpes) in cornwall.	a post mortem examination on a young fox which had been observed to be clinically ill revealed a severe infection with angiostrongylus vasorum. a further 11 foxes were examined and four were infected with the parasite; three of these also had advanced lesions of sarcoptic mange. the cases all occurred outside the previously defined focus of endemic infection for dogs in cornwall and they appear to be the first recorded cases of a vasorum in foxes in the united kingdom.	1996	8931300

charles drew and the origins of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest.	convinced that the high risk of operation using the early heart-lung machines was due to a toxic effect of the oxygenators in use in the 1950s, charles drew of westminster hospital in london devised a circulatory support system in which the patient's own lungs functioned as the oxygenator. with this support, body temperature was reduced to the point where circulatory arrest could be tolerated for the time required to carry out the intracardiac operation. he used only this technique for the rest ...	1997	9124943
analysis of influenza a h3n2 strains isolated in england during 1995-1996 using polymerase chain reaction restriction.	a polymerase chain reaction-restriction (pcr-restriction) endonuclease assay was developed to allow rapid analysis of influenza a h3n2 viruses circulating in england during 1995-1996. restriction endonuclease digestion with two enzymes of amplicons derived from pcr of the ha1 portion of the influenza haemagglutinin (ha) gene was able to differentiate antigenically similar influenza strains into two groups. group i variants were similar genetically to the 1995/96 vaccine strain, a/johannesburg/33 ...	1997	9139090

a serological study of canine herpes virus-1 infection in the english dog population.	an epidemiological survey investigated the prevalence of canine herpes virus-1 antibodies in a population of 325 pet dogs in england. sera were analysed for the presence of canine herpes virus-1 neutralising antibody by means of a serum neutralisation test and for virus-specific igg and igm by means of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. in contrast with published results from other parts of the world, canine herpes virus-1 infection was shown to be common among the domestic dog population of en ...	1998	9739327
use of sentinel lambs to survey the effect of an education programme on control of transmission of echinococcus granulosus in south powys, wales.	in this article the effects of an education programme (area ii) on transmission of echinococcus granulosus from dogs to sheep in wales and of substitution of the education programme by a 6-weekly anthelmintic control programme (area i) are compared with the situation in an area where no control interventions had occurred (area iii). the education programme failed to prevent transmission of e. granulosus to sentinel lambs examined at 15 months of age, 6%, 4%, and 10% of which were infected in are ...	1998	9868837
grease, anthraxgate, and kennel cough: a revisionist history of early veterinary vaccines.	in conclusion, it is remarkable just how farsighted many of the early vaccine investigators were. jenner was apparently very comfortable with contagion and even recognized that infectious agents could gradually change and adapt to a new species. pasteur, long before his fowl cholera experiment, dreamed that attenuation could yield safe vaccines and it took him no time at all therefore to recognize the significance of that serendipitous experiment. the fact that two other investigators were also ...	1999	9890006
