| epidemic polyarthritis (ross river) virus infection in the cook islands. | an epidemic of ross river virus infection occurred in the cook islands early in 1980 and affected the majority of the inhabitants of rarotonga, the most populated island in the group. this represents the easternmost extension of the virus which, until 1979, was believed limited to australia, new guinea, and the solomon islands. the clinical manifestations of ross river disease, predominantly polyarthritis, did not differ significantly from those observed previously in australia. however, unlike ... | 1981 | 7325286 |

| tokelau: a unique low allergen environment at sea level. | previous studies have shown that children in tokelau have a lower prevalence of asthma and atopy compared to tokelauan children resident in new zealand. we hypothesized that the low asthma and atopy prevalence in tokelau may be associated with low indoor allergen levels. | 2005 | 15836757 |

| experimental encounters: filipino and hawaiian bodies in the u.s. imperial invention of odontoclasia, 1928-1946. | through extensive dietary and dental surveys among infants and children living in hawai'i starting in the late 1920s, medical researchers transformed immigrant and indigenous children's mouths into objects of pathological comparison, establishing sites of alternative empirical and epistemological contact that are endemic to u.s. pacific empire. these studies resulted in the extension of odontoclasia, a veterinary diagnosis, from dogs to humans. as a dietary antidote, researchers recommended the ... | 2010 | 20857583 |
| quantitative pcr-based detection of pathogenic leptospira in hawai'ian coastal streams. | pathogenic leptospira, the causative agents of leptospirosis, are mainly associated with tropical freshwaters, but little is known about their fate in the environment. this study analyzed the distribution of pathogenic leptospira genomes in 22 tropical coastal streams using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qpcr). statistical analyses were conducted to understand pathogenic leptospira associations with water quality parameters, land use, microbial source tracking (mst) markers, and fecal i ... | 2011 | 22048423 |

| rapid prehistoric extinction of iguanas and birds in polynesia. | the tongoleleka archaeological site on lifuka island, kingdom of tonga, is a rich accumulation of pottery, marine mollusks, and nonhuman bones that represents first human contact on a small island in remote oceania approximately 2,850 years ago. the lower strata contain decorated lapita-style pottery and bones of an extinct iguana (brachylophus undescribed sp.) and numerous species of extinct birds. the upper strata instead feature polynesian plainware pottery and bones of extant species of vert ... | 2002 | 11904427 |
| [tentative discrimination of adult female simulids (diptera: simuliidae) in nuku-hiva (marquesas archipelago, french polynesia)]. | simulium sechani craig & fossati, 1995 was recently found for the first time in a part of nuku-hiva island. this species coexists with simulim buissoni roubaud 1906, the dominant species, and always regarded as the main biting fly on the island. the problem is that optimisation of control operations needs a good knowledge of targets. the unknown female of s. sechani is the reason of this study. this study used samples collected before the description of s. sechani to try to correlate its geograp ... | 2000 | 11147037 |
| ross river virus (togaviridae: alphavirus) infection (epidemic polyarthritis) in american samoa. | an outbreak of ross river virus infection (epidemic polyarthritis), which occurred in american samoa between august 1979 and january 1980, is described. on the basis of a serological survey performed near the end of the epidemic, it is estimated that at least 13,500 people were infected. ross river virus was isolated from the blood of a single polyarthritis patient. plaque reduction neutralization tests, using this virus strain, were done on 393 human and 143 animal sera collected on tutuila isl ... | 1981 | 7324110 |

| mitochondrial dna data indicate an introduction through mainland southeast asia for australian dingoes and polynesian domestic dogs. | in the late stages of the global dispersal of dogs, dingoes appear in the australian archaeological record 3500 years bp, and dogs were one of three domesticates brought with the colonization of polynesia, but the introduction routes to this region remain unknown. this also relates to questions about human history, such as to what extent the polynesian culture was introduced with the austronesian expansion from taiwan or adopted en route, and whether pre-neolithic australia was culturally influe ... | 2011 | 21900326 |
