japanese encephalitis in sri lanka: comparison of vector and virus ecology in different agro-climatic areas.the ecology of japanese encephalitis (je) in different agro-climatological areas of sri lanka was studied in relation to the abundance of mosquito vectors, infection in domestic livestock, and human infection and disease. there was an inverse correlation between altitude and the abundance of potential je vectors, as well as je seroprevalence in domestic livestock and in man. little or no je infection was documented above 1200 m elevation. je seroprevalences in cattle and goats were better predic ...19937903495
a serologic study of california serogroup bunyaviruses in sri lanka.a seroepidemiologic study of california (cal) serogroup viruses (genus bunyavirus, family bunyaviridae) was carried out on 952 human and 1,834 animal sera collected from different ecological zones of sri lanka (latitudes 5-10 degrees n, longitudes 79-82 degrees e). the sera were screened for neutralizing antibody to lumbo (lum), snowshoe hare (ssh), and trivittatus (tvt) viruses by plaque neutralization tests on vero cells. of 2,786 sera screened, 262 (9.5%) had antibody to one or more viruses t ...19911928574

antifungal peptides, a heat shock protein-like peptide, and a serine-threonine kinase-like protein from ceylon spinach seeds.two antifungal peptides (designated alpha- and beta-basrubrins) with molecular masses of 4-5 kda and distinct n-terminal sequences, and a peptide and a protein with n-terminal sequences resembling heat shock protein (hsp) and serine-threonine kinase, respectively, were isolated from seeds of the ceylon spinach basella rubra. the purification procedure entailed saline extraction, (nh4)2so4 precipitation, ion exchange chromatography on deae-cellulose, affinity chromatography on affi-gel blue gel, ...200415245882
antigenic and genetic relatedness of leptospira strains isolated from the andaman islands in 1929 and 2001.leptospirosis is a major public health problem in andaman islands. several strains of leptospira have been isolated from the andamans over the years. leptospires isolated recently from human cases were compared with one of the earliest available isolates from these islands, dating back to 1929, to study their serological and genetic relatedness. randomly amplified polymorphic dna (rapd) fingerprints of the isolates, generated with a primer used previously to differentiate between leptospira spec ...200312972587
helminths from introduced small mammals on kerguelen, crozet, and amsterdam islands (southern indian ocean).four monoxenous nematodes and 1 heteroxenous cestode were found in 4 species of introduced small mammals on isolated sub-antarctic islands of the indian ocean. in the kerguelen archipelago, syphacia obvelata, passalurus ambiguus (nematoda: oxyuridae), and rodentolepis straminea (cestoda: cyclophyllidae) were respectively found in the house mouse mus musculus, the rabbit oryctolagus cuniculus, and the black rat rattus rattus. one accidental nematode, trichostrongylus sp. (nematoda: trichostrongyl ...200111695402
novel antifungal peptides from ceylon spinach seeds.two novel antifungal peptides, designated alpha- and beta-basrubrins, respectively, were isolated from seeds of the ceylon spinach basella rubra. the purification procedure involved saline extraction, (nh(4))(2)so(4) precipitation, ion exchange chromatography on deae-cellulose, affinity chromatography on affi-gel blue gel, ion exchange chromatography on cm-cellulose and fplc-gel filtration on superdex peptide column. alpha- and beta-basrubrins exhibited a molecular weight of 4.3 and 5 kda, respe ...200111688973
contamination by persistent organochlorines and butyltin compounds in the west coast of sri lanka.concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (pcbs), dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane and its metabolites (ddts), isomers of hexachlorocyclohexane (hchs), hexachlorobenzene (hcb), chlordane compounds (chls) and butyltin compounds (mono-, di- and tributyltin) were determined in biota and sediments collected from locations on the west coast of sri lanka. the pcb concentrations found in fish from the kelani river mouth were higher than those from other asian developing countries. the pattern of orga ...200111381872
longitudinal neurodevelopmental study of seychellois children following in utero exposure to methylmercury from maternal fish ingestion: outcomes at 19 and 29 months.despite the importance of defining developmental consequences for humans of in utero exposure to low levels of methylmercury, it is not yet clear if there are postnatal effects in fish-eating populations. the seychelles child development study (scds), now underway in the republic of seychelles, is following children to test the hypothesis that prenatal exposure to low concentrations of mehg through maternal ingestion of fish is related to child development outcomes. in this study, children were ...19958714872
[plesiomonas shigelloides. 23 strains isolated from human stools in madagascar].twenty-three strains of plesiomonas shigelloïdes isolated from human stools in antananarivo are studied. ficklness of some biochemical characters is observed. ability to pathogenicity is tested on animals (cornea of guinea pigs, intestinal ligatured loops of rabbits).1978747440
soldado virus (hughes group) from ornithodoros (alectorobius) capensis (ixodoidea: argasidae) infesting sooty tern colonies in the seychelles, indian ocean.in the summer of 1973, about 5,000 pairs of adult sooty terns abandoned a specific part of their breeding grounds on bird island in the seychelles. incubated eggs and newly hatched chicks were left unattended and the area was not reoccupied in 1974. numerous ornithodoros (alectorobius) capensis occurred in the deserted part in both years, but few or none in the area where bird breeding was normal. persons visiting the deserted area were bitten by many ticks and experienced severe pruritus persis ...19751200252
