| lymphoproliferative disorders following allogeneic bone marrow transplantation: the vancouver experience. | between june 1988 and may 1996, 428 patients underwent allogeneic bmt (288 related donor (rd) and 140 unrelated donor (ud)) at the vancouver general hospital. eight patients (ud six and rd two) developed a post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (ptld). median age at bmt was 38 years (range 22-51). five of the six ud allografts were t cell depleted. cyclosporine+/-methotrexate was used for gvhd prophylaxis. all eight patients developed gvhd; in six this was refractory to treatment with cort ... | 1998 | 9849695 |
| myiasis in pet animals in british columbia: the potential of forensic entomology for determining duration of possible neglect. | results of a survey of veterinarians in british columbia included 25 past cases of myiasis and 10 active cases. most respondents received at least 5 to 10 cases per year, with some as high as 30 per year. this study revealed some advantages and disadvantages of using forensic entomology in living animals. | 2004 | 15646845 |

| migratory songbirds disperse ticks across canada, and first isolation of the lyme disease spirochete, borrelia burgdorferi, from the avian tick, ixodes auritulus. | during a 3-yr comprehensive study, 196 ixodid ticks (9 species) were collected from 89 passerine birds (32 species) from 25 localities across canada to determine the distribution of avian-associated tick species and endogenous lyme disease spirochetes, borrelia burgdorferi johnson, schmid, hyde, steigerwalt, and brenner. we report the following first records of tick parasitism on avian hosts: the rabbit-associated tick, ixodes dentatus marx, from manitoba and ontario; the mouse tick, ixodes muri ... | 2005 | 17089744 |
| tularemia, plague, yersiniosis, and tyzzer's disease in wild rodents and lagomorphs in canada: a review. | information related to infection of wild rodents or lagomorphs in canada by francisella tularensis, yersinia pestis, other yersinia spp., and clostridium piliforme was searched for this study. reports on tularemia in humans linked to these species came from diagnostic databases, literature, wildlife health specialists, and public health agencies. tularemia has been diagnosed in 8 species of wild rodent and 2 species in the genus lepus in canada. tularemia occurred in wild animals, or in humans a ... | 2009 | 20190973 |
| Widespread dispersal of Borrelia burgdorferi-infected ticks collected from songbirds across Canada. | Abstract Millions of Lyme disease vector ticks are dispersed annually by songbirds across Canada, but often overlooked as the source of infection. For clarity on vector distribution, we sampled 481 ticks (12 species and 3 undetermined ticks) from 211 songbirds (42 species/subspecies) nationwide. Using PCR, 52 (29.5%) of 176 Ixodes ticks tested were positive for the Lyme disease spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. Immature blacklegged ticks, Ixodes scapularis, collected from infested songbird ... | 2011 | 21864130 |
| an immune-complex glomerulonephritis of chinook salmon, oncorhynchus tshawytscha (walbaum). | chinook salmon from new zealand were shown to have a generalized membranous glomerulonephritis that was most severe in large fish. marked thickening of the glomerular basement membrane was the most consistent lesion, with the presence of an electron-dense deposit beneath the capillary endothelium.severely affected glomeruli also had expansion of the mesangium and loss of capillaries,synechiae of the visceral and parietal epithelium and mild fibrosis of bowmans capsule. chinook salmon from britis ... | 2008 | 18752546 |

| immunoblot patterns of giardia duodenalis isolates from different hosts and geographical locations. | eighteen isolates of giardia duodenalis from animal and human sources were studied for protein differences by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and for antigenic differences by immunoblot analysis. the polyacrylamide gels showed that whilst the isolates were for the most part homogeneous in their protein banding patterns, some isolates did show some differences. the immunoblot analysis yielded many bands, including prominent bands of 32 and 66 kilodaltons. five of the six isolates that showed d ... | 1990 | 2334873 |
