| rabies in the united states and canada, 1983. | primarily as a result of organized canine rabies vaccination, leash laws, and other preventive procedures aimed at the canine population, the number of rabid dogs decreased markedly in the last thirty years (figure 10). this decrease was accompanied by a similar marked reduction in human rabies (table 2, figure 11). as domestic animal rabies declined, rabies in wildlife increased. since 1958 the number of cases of rabid wildlife surpassed domestic rabies cases, and today they account for over 85 ... | 1985 | 3932839 |

| widespread occurrence of a domestic dog mitochondrial dna haplotype in southeastern us coyotes. | sequence analysis of the mitochondrial dna control region from 112 southeastern us coyotes (canis latrans) revealed 12 individuals with a haplotype closely related to those in domestic dogs. phylogenetic analyses grouped this new haplotype in the dog/grey wolf (canis familiaris/canis lupus) clade with 98% bootstrap support. these results demonstrate that a male coyote hybridized with a female dog, and female hybrid offspring successfully integrated into the coyote population. the widespread dist ... | 2003 | 12535104 |
| prevalence of and risk factors for canine tick infestation in the united states, 2002-2004. | knowledge of the geographic range and seasonal activity of vector ticks is important for determining which people or animals are at risk of acquiring tick-borne infections. several time-consuming methods requiring large-scale organization are used to map geographic and seasonal variations in tick distribution. a cost-effective, complementary approach to study tick distribution using a large nation-wide veterinary database is described in this paper. prevalence of canine tick infestation in 40 st ... | 2007 | 17417959 |
| prevalence of dog intestinal nematode parasites in south central west virginia, usa. | coprological examination was used to determine prevalence of gastrointestinal helminthes in a sample of 231 dogs (117 females and 114 males) during the summer of 2009 at a veterinary clinic in south central west virginia, usa. clinical signs (e.g., diarrhea, vomiting, weight gain or loss) were noted in addition to a history of anthelmintic usage. a total of 79 dogs (33.6%) were infected with one or more intestinal nematodes. most dogs (58) were parasitized with a single species, 19 were parasiti ... | 2011 | 21277089 |
