| prevalence of helminths in a cyclic snowshoe hare population. | five species of helminths were monitored in a population of snowshoe hares (lepus americanus) near rochester, alberta, during 1961-1977. prevalence of both obeliscoides cuniculi and protostrongylus boughtoni among young hares averaged about 50% by age 2 mo, then tended to level off. prevalence of taenia pisiformis (cysticerci) and dirofilaria scapiceps rose more slowly, but continued to increase steadily beyond their mean levels of 8% and 1% at age 2 mo. there were well defined seasonal (within- ... | 1985 | 4032622 |
| epizootic of western encephalomyelitis virus infection in equines in alberta in 1965. | the epizootic of equine encephalomyelitis in 1965 in alberta was proved to be due to western encephalomyelitis virus infection by serological findings and virus isolations.sixty-three horses of 88 tested, showed a diagnostic rise of cf antibodies to western encephalomyelitis virus. western encephalomyelitis virus was isolated from 5 brains of horses. homologous antibodies were shown in 3 of these animals, the only ones from which blood specimens were received. for the first time virological evid ... | 1968 | 4233828 |

| powassan virus infection in snowshoe hares (lepus americanus). | sera from snowshoe hares (lepus americanus) trapped near rochester, alberta, canada were tested for powassan virus antibody by the constant virus/serum dilution neutralization test. of 1264 serum samples tested, 137 had an antibody titer of at least 1:4 for powassan virus. ten hares were inoculated with powassan virus in the laboratory. viremia lasted 4-5 days and ceased with the appearance of powassan antibody in the serum. neutralizing antibody reached a peak titer of 1:119 on day 15 post-inoc ... | 1981 | 6264168 |
| pathology and epizootiology of dirofilaria scapiceps (leidy, 1886) (nematoda: filarioidea) in sylvilagus floridanus (j.a. allen) and lepus americanus erxleben. | dirofilaria scapiceps was found between the synovial sheath and tendons, i.e., within the tendon sheath, in the ankle region of eastern cottontail rabbits (sylvilagus floridanus) and snowshoe hares (lepus americanus). in cottontail rabbits, tendons and sheaths appeared normal and all worms were adults. only one (4%) of 24 infected rabbits contained dead worms. all female worms were gravid in rabbits killed in late winter or early spring. microfilaremias in rabbits were high (approximately 30-100 ... | 1984 | 6492321 |
| cercopithifilaria leporinus n. sp. (nematoda: filarioidea) from the snowshoe hare (lepus americanus erxleben) (lagomorpha) in canada. | cercopithifilaria leporinus n. sp. from the subcutaneous tissues of the trunk of snowshoe hares (lepus americanus erxleben) in ontario and alberta, canada, is described. this is the only species of dipetalonema--like filarioid known from lagomorphs. it is distinguished from other species of cercopithifilaria by its small size, numerous mucrons on the female tail, vulva leading into a large, spherical vestibule and the pattern of papillae on the male tail. eight species of filarioids, representin ... | 1983 | 6614747 |

| detection of staphylococcus aureus in bulk tank milk using modified baird-parker culture media. | the purpose of this project was to evaluate the use of 2 selective/differential culture media for detecting staphylococcus aureus in bulk tank milk. one medium was baird-parker agar base supplemented with egg york tellurite emulsion and acriflavine. the other medium was baird-parker agar base supplemented with rabbit plasma/bovine fibrinogen and acriflavine. an increased inoculum of bulk tank milk (0.3 ml) was used to enhance the detection of s. aureus in samples containing low numbers of organi ... | 1995 | 8640634 |
| isolation of circovirus from lesions of pigs with postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome. | postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (pmws), an apparently new disease, has been recognized in swine herds in western canada. young pigs with this disease have progressive weight loss, tachypnea, dyspnea, and jaundice, accompanied by interstitial pneumonia, lymphadenopathy, hepatitis, and nephritis. we examined more than 400 pigs from more than 70 herds in alberta, saskatchewan, and manitoba with cases of pmws. a small virus was isolated from a range of tissues from 8 of 8 affected pigs ex ... | 1998 | 9442952 |
