| hydatid disease screening: sanpete county, utah, 1971-1976. | between 1971 and 1976 approximately 20% (2,265) of the population of sanpete county, utah, was screened for hydatid disease (echinococcus granulosus) by intradermal, indirect hemagglutination, and bentonite flocculation tests. of 34 persons who had follow-up chest radiographs and radioisotope liver scans, 6 were found to have asymptomatic hepatic cysts. if a participant who had pulmonary cysts and negative screening tests were included, the prevalence of asymptomatic hydatid disease would be 3 p ... | 1978 | 626286 |
| echinococcus granulosus in dogs and sheep in central utah, 1971-1976. | during 1971 to 1976, a survey was conducted to determine the prevalence of echinococcus granulosus infection among dogs and sheep in central utah. for each year, the number of dogs positive for adult tapeworms of the total number examined and the percentage infected were: in 1971, 14 of 51 infected (27.4%); in 1972, 13 of 46 infected (28.3%); in 1973, 7 of 36 infected (19.4%); in 1974, 34 of 244 infected (13.9%); in 1975, 13 of 267 infected (4.9%); and in 1976, 14 of 195 infected (7.2%), or a 6- ... | 1978 | 637397 |
| rabies surveillance in the united states during 1990. | in 1990, the united states and its territories reported 4,881 cases of rabies in animals to the centers for disease control, a 1.5% increase from 1989. of these, 553 were domestic animals, 4,327 were wild animals, and one was a human being. pennsylvania reported the highest number (611) of rabies cases in animals in 1990. for the first time since surveillance of rabies in wild animals was begun in the 1950s, the number of cases of rabies in raccoons exceeded that in skunks. particularly large in ... | 1992 | 1577642 |
| cultural ecology of prehistoric parasitism on the colorado plateau as evidenced by coprology. | the study of coprolites (desiccated feces) is recognized as a viable method for analyzing parasitism of prehistoric peoples. eight species of helminth parasites, including nematodes, cestodes, and acanthcephalans, have been recovered from archaeological sites on the colorado plateau. the comparative analysis of parasitological findings illustrates the effects of changing subsistence strategies and varying life-style on prehistoric human parasitism. this comparative study is based on the analysis ... | 1988 | 3067587 |
| a study of dog bites on the navajo reservation. | reservation-wide dog-bite statistics indicate a bite rate on the navajo reservation that is comparable to that of a large city. detailed analysis of 772 bite reports was made to determine the characteristics of biters and their victims. this included an assessment of the behavioral antecedents leading up to the bite incident; 98.4 percent of all cases for which a possible cause could be ascertained were provoked in some way. both dog control and public education measures need to be taken to redu ... | 1986 | 3080791 |
| urinary bladder fibromas in dogs: 51 cases (1981-1985). | between jan 1, 1981, and june 30, 1985, fibromas were diagnosed in tissues removed from the urinary bladders of 51 dogs. hematuria, the most common clinical sign, was associated with the fibromas in 47 of 50 cases. most dogs responded well to surgical excision of the neoplasms, with rapid resolution of the hematuria followed by long periods without abnormal clinical signs. three dogs were euthanatized because of continuing or recurrent clinical problems, which included bladder dysfunction. one d ... | 1987 | 3558085 |

| seroprevalence of canine parvovirus in wild coyotes from texas, utah, and idaho (1972 to 1983). | the prevalence of serum antibodies against canine parvovirus-2 (cpv-2), as measured by a standard hemagglutination-inhibition test, was determined in serum samples collected from 1,184 coyotes (canis latrans) in texas, utah, and idaho from 1972 to 1983. no evidence of parvoviral infection was found before 1979, after which seroprevalence rapidly increased to greater than 70% at all sites by 1982. there were minor differences in prevalence between age groups and among sites, but no consistent dif ... | 1984 | 6096323 |

| possible factors influencing distribution and prevalence of echinococcus granulosus in utah. | a descriptive epidemiologic study was designed to test an impression that infections of echinococcus granulosus in dogs, sheep, and human beings were concentrated in central utah, and to determine when and how the parasite was introduced into the state, which factors were involved in the distribution of the cestode, and which factors increased either a person's risk of infection of the number of people at risk. data were secured by review of available records, interviews, questionnaires, and fie ... | 1982 | 7124714 |

| assessment of aedes sierrensis as a vector of canine heartworm in utah using a new technique for determining the infectivity rate. | both aedes sierrensis and dirofilaria immitis have recently become established in utah. we evaluated the vector potential of this aedes sierrensis strain using a new technique for detecting dirofilaria immitis in individual mosquitoes. survival of aedes sierrensis females after bloodfeeding did not differ from that of ae. triseriatus but infective ae. sierrensis produced significantly more l3 nematodes. this observation and epidemiological data support the hypothesis that ae. sierrensis is the v ... | 1993 | 8468580 |

| selective predation on utah prairie dogs. | predation always affects demography and population dynamics, but removal of certain types of individuals is especially consequential. predators strike quickly and commonly avoid areas with human observers, however, and thereby make it difficult to document patterns of predation under natural conditions. at a colony of marked utah prairie dogs (cynomys parvidens), a high frequency of predation in 2005 provided an unusual opportunity to examine susceptibility of five types of individuals to predat ... | 2006 | 17004225 |
| survey of 11 western states for heartworm (dirofilaria immitis) infection, heartworm diagnostic and prevention protocols, and fecal examination protocols for gastrointestinal parasites. | heartworm infection in dogs and cats in the western united states is a fairly new phenomenon, and for this reason it is often considered to be of minimal significance. the purpose of this survey was to collect data from 11 western states (arizona, california, colorado, idaho, montana, nevada, new mexico, oregon, utah, washington, and wyoming) in an effort to assess awareness of heartworm disease and identify areas in which improvement in understanding is needed. to accomplish this goal, veterina ... | 2007 | 18183548 |
