| [molecular epidemiology of rabies epizootics in colombia, 1994-2002: evidence of human and canine rabies associated with chiroptera]. | three urban rabies outbreaks have been reported in colombia during the last two decades, one of which is ongoing in the caribbean region (northern colombia). the earlier outbreaks occurred almost simultaneously in arauca (eastern colombia) and in the central region, ending in 1997. phylogenetic relationships among rabies viruses isolated from the three areas were based on a comparison of cdna fragments coding for the endodomain of protein g and a fragment of l protein obtained by rt-pcr. the seq ... | 2003 | 12696396 |
| a phylogenetic reconstruction of the epidemiological history of canine rabies virus variants in colombia. | historically, canine rabies in colombia has been caused by two geographically distinct canine variants of rabies virus (rv) which between 1992 and 2002 accounted for approximately 95% of colombian rabies cases. genetic variant 1 (gv1) has been isolated up until 1997 in the central region and the department of arauca, and is now considered extinct through a successful vaccination program. genetic variant 2 (gv2) has been isolated from the northern caribbean region and continues to circulate at pr ... | 2004 | 15019589 |
| molecular epidemiology of rabies epizootics in colombia: evidence for human and dog rabies associated with bats. | three urban rabies outbreaks have been reported in colombia during the last two decades, one of these is occurring in the caribbean region (northern colombia), while the other two occurred almost simultaneously in arauca (eastern colombia) and in the central region and ended in 1997. in order to derive phylogenetic relationships between rabies viruses isolated in these three areas, 902 nt cdna fragments encoding the cytoplasmic domain of protein g and a fragment of protein l were obtained by rt- ... | 2003 | 12655080 |
