| epidemiologic aspects of blastomycosis, the enigmatic systemic mycosis. | a growing body of epidemiologic information derives from the study of sporadic cases and seven epidemics of blastomycosis, although a complete epidemiologic description of the disease is impeded by the absence of a skin test and difficulty isolating the causative fungus, blastomyces dermatitidis, from nature. most cases occur sporadically in humans and dogs in a worldwide distribution. endemic areas in the united states include southeastern, southcentral, and midwestern states, particularly arka ... | 1986 | 3317597 |

| characterization of the major antigenic protein 2 of ehrlichia canis and ehrlichia chaffeensis and its application for serodiagnosis of ehrlichiosis. | canine monocytic ehrlichiosis, caused by ehrlichia canis or ehrlichia chaffeensis, can result in clinical disease in naturally infected animals. coinfections with these agents may be common in certain areas of endemicity. currently, a species-specific method for serological diagnosis of monocytic ehrlichiosis is not available. previously, we developed two indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (elisas) using the major antigenic protein 2 (map2) of e. chaffeensis and e. canis. in this study, ... | 2003 | 12853379 |
