| [liver dystrophy in hares. pathology and epidemiologic studies of the death of hares in central hesse]. | in the area of central hesse we observed an unusual frequency of deaths of hares. the characteristic pathological alterations included general icterus, acute liver dystrophy, chromoproteinemic nephrosis, hyperemia in the tracheal mucosa and in the lungs, and splenic vascular congestion and necroses. affected animals showed an altered behaviour with a diminished escape range and escape distance. some animals had lost orientation completely. on the basis of sender questioning it appears probable t ... | 1987 | 3617050 |

| comparative studies on group-b streptococci isolated from bovine milk samples in thuringia and hesse. | in this study, 133 streptococci of serological group b, which were isolated from bovine milk samples in thuringia and hesse, were serotyped and further characterized. serotyping of 99 group b streptococci from thuringia revealed mainly the antigen patterns iii, iv, iv/x and nt/x, and serotyping of the cultures from hesse revealed mainly the antigen patterns iv, iv/x and nt/c alpha. the occurrence of polysaccharide- and protein-type antigens appeared to be related to various other characteristics ... | 1995 | 8594856 |
| studies of epidemiology and seroprevalence of bovine noroviruses in germany. | jena virus (jv) is a bovine enteric calicivirus that causes diarrhea in calves. the virus is approximately 30 nm in diameter and has a surface morphology similar to the human norwalk virus. the genome sequence of jv was recently described, and the virus has been assigned to the genus norovirus of the family caliciviridae: in the present study, the jv capsid gene encoded by open reading frame 2 was cloned into the baculovirus transfer vector pfastbac 1, and this was used to transform escherichia ... | 2003 | 12791840 |
| determination of epidemiological relationships of streptococcus agalactiae isolated from bovine mastitis. | in the present study 79 streptococcal cultures isolated from subclinical mastitis of 54 cows from seven dairy farms (a-g) in hesse, germany, were comparatively investigated using conventional and molecular methods. the isolates could be identified as streptococcus agalactiae, belonging to lancefield's serological group b by determination of cultural, biochemical and serological properties and by polymerase chain reaction (pcr)-mediated amplification of species-specific parts of the 16s ribosomal ... | 2003 | 13129612 |
