| records of anoplocephaline cestodes from wild rabbits and hares collected throughout great britain. | four species of anoplocephaline cestodes were found in wild rabbits collected throughout britain in 1962 and 1972, i.e; since the great reduction in rabbit numbers following the introduction of myxomatosis, in 1953. they were cittotaenia pectinata (goeze, 1782), c. denticulata (rudolphi, 1804), c. ctenoides (rhiehm, 1881) and andrya cuniculi (blanchard 1891). c. pectinata and c. denticulata were relatively common with a respective prevalence of 25% and 8% in two samples totalling 442 rabbits and ... | 1975 | 1127217 |
| myxomatosis in farmland rabbit populations in england and wales. | the overall pattern and consequences of myxomatosis in wild rabbit populations were studied at three farmland sites in lowland southern england and upland central wales between 1971 and 1978. when results from all years were combined, the disease showed a clear two-peaked annual cycle, with a main autumn peak between august and january, and a subsidiary spring peak during february to april. rabbit fleas, the main vectors of myxomatosis in britain, were present on full-grown rabbits in sufficient ... | 1989 | 2806418 |

| serotyping scheme for campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli based on direct agglutination of heat-stable antigens. | campylobacter is now the most frequently reported cause of gastrointestinal disease in england and wales, yet few isolates are characterized beyond the genus level. the majority of isolates are campylobacter jejuni (90%), with most of the remainder being campylobacter coli. we describe an adaptation of the penner serotyping scheme in which passive hemagglutination has been replaced by detection of heat-stable antigens by direct bacterial agglutination; absorbed antisera are used where appropriat ... | 1998 | 9466737 |
| seroprevalence of antibodies to encephalitozoon cuniculi in domestic rabbits in the united kingdom. | serum samples from 97 clinically healthy domestic rabbits were tested for antibodies to encephalitozoon cuniculi by an indirect elisa technique. fifty (52 per cent) of them were seropositive. the samples were taken as part of a routine health screen or before general anaesthesia at 22 veterinary practices in england, scotland and wales, and the veterinary surgeons were asked to complete a questionnaire to provide information concerning the animal's husbandry, diet, vaccination, health status and ... | 2006 | 16632526 |
| blowfly strike prevalence in domestic rabbits in southwest england and wales. | the prevalence of blowfly strike in rabbits in southwest england and wales was investigated using a retrospective postal survey of small animal and mixed veterinary practices. questionnaires were sent to 474 practices; 219 were returned completed, giving a response rate of 46.2%. the prevalence of blowfly strike was estimated as the percentage of veterinary practices that reporting having treated at least one rabbit for strike between may and september 2005. overall, 94.5% (+/-2.21) of practices ... | 2006 | 16822615 |
| investigation of farms linked to human patients with cryptosporidiosis in england and wales. | the study investigates farms suspected of being sources of zoonotic human cryptosporidiosis. a variety of implicated farm animal species were sampled and tested to detect cryptosporidium oocysts and investigate genetic linkage with human patients. risk factor information was collected from each farm and analysed by multivariable logistic regression to detect significant associations between factors and cryptosporidium in animals. the results showed that average sample prevalence of cryptosporidi ... | 2010 | 20096944 |
| antibacterial prescribing patterns in small animal veterinary practice identified via savsnet: the small animal veterinary surveillance network. | in this study, data from veterinary clinical records were collected via the small animal veterinary surveillance network (savsnet). over a three-month period, data were obtained from 22,859 consultations at 16 small animal practices in england and wales: 69 per cent from dogs, 24 per cent from cats, 3 per cent from rabbits and 4 per cent from miscellaneous species. the proportion of consults where prescribing of antibacterials was identified was 35.1 per cent for dogs, 48.5 per cent for cats and ... | 2011 | 21911433 |
