| epidemiosurveillance of antimicrobial compound resistance of staphylococcus intermedium clinical isolates from canine pyodermas. | in a retrospective study, 131 staphylococcus intermedius strains isolated from apparently healthy dogs, and 187 staphylococcus intermedius strains isolated from dog pyodermas in the clinical microbiology laboratory at the national veterinary school in nantes, during three successive periods: 1986-87, 1992-93 and 1995-96, were investigated and compared for their antimicrobial susceptibility. results indicated that 60% to 65% of the strains were susceptible to chloramphenicol and doxycyclin, 65% t ... | 1998 | 9611682 |
| an outbreak of airborne tularaemia in france, august 2004. | fifteen tularaemia cases were identified after a holiday spent at a converted mill in the vendee region in france, between 9 and 12 august 2004. the mill was visited, and descriptive, retrospective cohort and environmental investigations were conducted. the 39 people who had stayed at the mill between 24 july and 11 august were asked about symptoms, exposure to food and animals, and leisure activities. a case was defined as a person with evidence of fever and a positive serology (seroconversion ... | 2006 | 16525197 |
| mathematical modelling of the impact of climatic conditions in france on rhipicephalus sanguineus tick activity and density since 1960. | rhipicephalus sanguineus, the brown dog tick, has a worldwide distribution in areas with a relatively warm climate, including mild winters. this tick plays an important role as vector for various animal and human pathogens, including bacteria and protozoa. based on precise daily meteorological data from the past 40 years, combined with mathematical modelling designed to predict tick activity, two modelling approaches were developed. the first examined the evolution of the number of weeks with fa ... | 2011 | 21590676 |
