an unusual outbreak of brucellosis.a brucella melitensis infection involved three persons. the infections were acquired by contact with a culture suspension that had been spilled during a laboratory exercise. one of the patients had only indirect contact with the spilled culture, probably contact with contaminated fomites. another of the patients developed a clinical remission before treatment with antibiotics and relapsed after six months. this patient also had a positive bone marrow culture when blood cultures were negative. th ...19751052665
hematology and serum chemistry of cottontail rabbits of southern illinois.in 1983 and 1984 blood was collected from 79 cottontail rabbits (sylvilagus floridanus) confined to an outdoor enclosure in southern illinois to establish reference values for hematology and serum chemistry. packed cell volume, sodium, potassium, chloride, glucose, calcium, carbon dioxide, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, uric acid, cholesterol, albumin, bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, aspartate transaminase, alanine aminotransaminase, total protein, albumin/globulin ratio, and osmolality were ...19911758030
serological prevalence of tularemia in cottontail rabbits of southern illinois.sera of cottontail rabbits (sylvilagus floridanus) collected in southern illinois in 1983 and 1984 were screened for the presence of antibodies against francisella tularensis by rapid slide agglutination and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay techniques; 6% of 118 and 16% of 119 samples were positive by these methods, respectively. rabbits gained, lost and maintained titers over at least an 8 mo period. francisella tularensis tularensis was isolated from one serologically negative, clinically hea ...19902338733

parasites of cottontail rabbits of southern illinois.fifteen species of parasites including haemaphysalis leporispalustris, ixodes dentatus, amblyomma americanum, cediopsylla simplex, odontopsyllus multispinosus, cuterebra sp., obeliscoides cuniculi, trichostrongylus calcaratus, trichostrongylus affinis, longistriata noviberiae, dermatoxys veligera, trichuris sp., mosgovoyia sp., taenia pisiformis, and hasstilesia tricolor as well as coccidia oocysts were collected from 96 cottontail rabbits (sylvilagus floridanus) confined to a pen in southern il ...19921491303
allergy to laboratory animals: epidemiologic, clinical, and physiologic aspects, and a trial of cromolyn in its management.a survey was conducted by personal interview with all identified subjects in a large medical center who had regular exposure to laboratory animals. of 399 subjects, 59 (15%) had symptoms suggestive of allergy to laboratory animals. such allergy was more likely to occur in subjects with previously known allergies, especially to domestic pets, and was most likely to become manifest within a few months of the first exposure. in the group with allergy to laboratory animals, nasal symptoms were invar ...19806772703
blood hosts of aedes albopictus in the united states.bloodfed aedes albopictus were collected during 1989-91 by vacuum aspirator from rural and urban study sites in missouri, florida, indiana, illinois, and louisiana. blood hosts identified by elisa and precipitin tests were rabbit (n = 91), rattus sp. (n = 69), dog (n = 14), unidentified mammal (n = 14), cow (n = 13), human (n = 10), deer (n = 10), sciurid (n = 7), turtle (n = 5), murid other than rattus sp. (n = 4), raccoon (n = 3), passeriform bird (n = 3), and cat (n = 2). as an opportunistic ...19947807094

outbreak of rabbit hemorrhagic disease in domestic lagomorphs.rabbit hemorrhagic disease (rhd) was diagnosed in domestic lagomorphs on a rabbit farm in illinois. clinical signs of rhd in affected rabbits included signs of depression, anorexia, fever, paddling, convulsions, and sudden death. findings of necropsies and histologic evaluations of specimens of liver and spleen were indicative of rhd. in liver specimens obtained from dead rabbits, rhd viral antigen was detected via hemagglutination assay and viral antigen-detection elisa. the source of the outbr ...200314584745

humoral immune response of cottontail rabbits naturally infected with francisella tularensis in southern illinois.cottontail rabbits (sylvilagus floridanus) usually are thought to succumb to infection with francisella tularensis. reports of a rabbit population from southern illinois (usa) with a high prevalence of f. tularensis antibodies suggested that some cottontails survived infection with this typically fatal bacterium. our goal was to examine the humoral response of cottontails from a study area in southern illinois for which multiple serum samples existed. multiple sera were collected from 79 cottont ...19979391956
molecular phylogenetic analysis of a geographically and temporally matched set of candida albicans isolates from humans and nonmigratory wildlife in central illinois.this study explored whether wildlife species serve as the reservoir for human candida albicans strains in a given geographic area. c. albicans isolates were collected from nonmigratory wildlife admitted to the university of illinois wildlife medical clinic. a geographically and temporally matched set of c. albicans oral isolates was collected from healthy human volunteers. multilocus sequence typing was used to assign strains to genetic clades. clade 1 isolates, particularly diploid sequence typ ...200818621922
