| review of human and animal cases of coccidioidomycosis diagnosed in canada. | the first canadian case of coccidioidomycosis in a human was reported in 1952 and 11 more cases since then. this study provides details of other cases of coccidioidomycosis that have been diagnosed in canada. based on clinical details, isolation of coccidioides immitis, detection of a specific antibody (f band) for coccidioidomycosis by macro- or microimmunodiffusion tests, concurrently used with the complement fixation procedure, and histopathological findings, 116 more cases of this disease we ... | 1991 | 2014046 |
| major antigenic groups of rabies virus in canada determined by anti-nucleocapsid monoclonal antibodies. | a total of 123 rabies virus isolates from various geographical areas in canada were characterized by a panel of 43 anti-nucleocapsid monoclonal antibodies. four major antigenic groups are found in terrestrial mammals: "canadian arctic" from ontario, quebec and the northwest territories; "south-eastern georgian bay" from ontario; "south mid-central skunk" from alberta, saskatchewan and manitoba; and "brook's, alberta skunk" from a restricted area in alberta. bat isolates can be divided into 4 maj ... | 1986 | 3769442 |

| anesthetic gas exposure in veterinary clinics. | concerns were raised by several workers from veterinary clinics in manitoba, canada, regarding potential exposure to isoflurane and halothane during anesthetic administration. there has been no guideline established for isoflurane by the american conference of governmental industrial hygienist (acgih) or a permissible exposure limit by the occupational safety and health administration (osha) or a recommended exposure limit (rel) by the national institute for occupational safety and health (niosh ... | 1999 | 10429733 |
| canine heartworm testing in canada: are we being effective? | mass testing of dogs in canada for the presence of dirofilaria immitis has been ongoing since 1977. since that time, there have also been changes in the diagnostic tests available to detect the presence of heartworm and changes in the therapy for heartworm, which necessitate a reevaluation of heartworm screening as currently practiced in canada. the principles of evidence-based medicine were used to determine the prevalence of heartworm infection in various dog populations, and the effectiveness ... | 2000 | 11143927 |

| prevalence of antibodies to neospora caninum, sarcocystis neurona, and toxoplasma gondii in wild horses from central wyoming. | sarcocystis neurona, neospora caninum, n. hughesi, and toxoplasma gondii are 4 related coccidians considered to be associated with encephalomyelitis in horses. the source of infection for n. hughesi is unknown, whereas opossums, dogs, and cats are the definitive hosts for s. neurona, n. caninum, and t. gondii, respectively. seroprevalence of these coccidians in 276 wild horses from central wyoming outside the known range of the opossum (didelphis virginiana) was determined. antibodies to t. gond ... | 2003 | 14533680 |
| increased risk of childhood asthma from antibiotic use in early life. | to address the major methodological issues of reverse causation and selection bias in epidemiologic studies of antibiotic use in early life and the development of asthma, we undertook a cohort study of this association in a complete population of children. | 2007 | 17413050 |
| early environmental determinants of asthma risk in a high-risk birth cohort. | environmental exposures during early life have been suggested to have the greatest impact on childhood asthma. our aim was to evaluate the risk factors associated with asthma at age 7 yr in a high-risk cohort that participated in a randomized controlled study on the primary prevention of asthma. indoor exposures were characterized before birth and at 2 weeks, 4, 8, 12, 18, and 24 months after birth and again at 7 yr. nasal scrapings for respiratory viruses were done at the same intervals during ... | 2008 | 18266835 |
| characteristics of six recent animal hoarding cases in manitoba. | six recent cases of animal hoarding in manitoba were compared to the relevant literature. cases were similar to previous reports in age and demographics of hoarders. five cases involved small mammals and 1 case involved horses. understanding this phenomenon would be enhanced by consistent investigative format and reporting and closer working relationships with public health. | 2009 | 20046607 |
| a retrospective study of canine strychnine poisonings from 1998 to 2013 in western canada. | this study describes observations related to 93 cases of strychnine poisoning in dogs over a 16-year period in saskatchewan, alberta, and manitoba. epidemiological information describing age, gender, breed, and size of the dogs, geographical distribution of poisonings, and strychnine concentrations in tissue matrices were tabulated. the mortality in dogs poisoned with strychnine was 60.2%. strychnine poisoning cases varied by year (p = 0.0012) and by season (p = 0.0005). the highest number of co ... | 2015 | 26028680 |
