systemic adenovirus infection associated with high mortality in mule deer (odocoileus hemionus) in california. | seventeen counties in northern california experienced epizootics of high mortality in the mule deer (odocoileus hemionus) population during the latter half of 1993. thirteen deer submitted to the california veterinary diagnostic laboratory system as part of this natural die-off had systemic adenovirus infection. pulmonary edema was present in all 13 deer. erosions, ulceration, and abscessation of the upper alimentary tract occurred in 7/13 deer. four of 13 deer had hemorrhagic enteritis. all 13 ... | 1996 | 8801705 |
characterization of a new adenovirus isolated from black-tailed deer in california. | an adenovirus associated with systemic and localized vascular damage was demonstrated by transmission electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry in a newly recognized epizootic hemorrhagic disease in california black-tailed deer. in this study, we describe the cultural, physicochemical and serological characteristics of a virus isolated from lung using neonatal white-tail deer lung and turbinate cell cultures. the virus had the cultural, morphological and physicochemical characteristics of mem ... | 2001 | 11504424 |
a continuing surveillance of enterovirus infections in healthy children in six united states cities. i. viruses isolated during 1960 and 1961. | | 1963 | 14071359 |
isolation of a novel adenovirus from california sea lions zalophus californianus. | viral hepatitis associated with adenoviral infection has been reported in california sea lions zalophus californianus admitted to rehabilitation centers along the california coast since the 1970s. canine adenovirus 1 (cadv-1) causes viral hepatitis in dogs and infects a number of wildlife species. attempts to isolate the virus from previous sea lion hepatitis cases were unsuccessful, but as the hepatitis had morphologic features resembling canine infectious hepatitis, and since the virus has a w ... | 2011 | 21790072 |
bat guano virome: predominance of dietary viruses from insects and plants plus novel mammalian viruses. | bats are hosts to a variety of viruses capable of zoonotic transmissions. because of increased contact between bats, humans, and other animal species, the possibility exists for further cross-species transmissions and ensuing disease outbreaks. we describe here full and partial viral genomes identified using metagenomics in the guano of bats from california and texas. a total of 34% and 58% of 390,000 sequence reads from bat guano in california and texas, respectively, were related to eukaryotic ... | 2010 | 20463061 |
adenovirus group ii-like infection in chukar partridges (alectoris chukar). | seven live 5-to-6-wk-old chukar partridges (alectoris chukar) were examined because of increased lacrimation, swollen eyelids, and increased mortality. gross lesions consisted of mildly enlarged and mottled white spleens, swollen eyelids with external scab formation, and watery intestinal contents. microscopically, there were increased numbers of mononuclear phagocytic system cells in the spleen, some of which contained faintly staining basophilic intranuclear inclusion bodies, blepharoconjuncti ... | 2008 | 18646470 |
evaluation of microbial source tracking methods using mixed fecal sources in aqueous test samples. | microbiological source tracking (mst) methods are increasingly being used to identify fecal contamination sources in surface waters, but these methods have been subjected to limited comparative testing. in this study, 22 researchers employing 12 different methods were provided sets of identically prepared blind water samples. each sample contained one to three of five possible fecal sources (human, dog, cattle, seagull or sewage). researchers were also provided with portions of the fecal materia ... | 2003 | 15382720 |
pcr detection of pathogenic viruses in southern california urban rivers. | to investigate human viral contamination in urban rivers and its impact on coastal waters of southern california, usa. | 2004 | 15186438 |
viral antibodies in coyotes from california. | prevalence of antibodies against canine parvovirus (cpv), canine distemper virus (cdv), and canine adenovirus type 1 (cav) were determined among 152 coyotes (canis latrans) at the naval petroleum reserves (nprc; california, usa) from 1985 to 1990. overall prevalence of antibodies to cpv, cdv, and cav was 66%, 37%, and 68%, respectively. prevalence of cpv and cdv varied significantly among years. antibody prevalence did not differ between sexes for any disease, but did vary significantly among ag ... | 1998 | 9577772 |
viral epizootics in captive nonhuman primates. | | 1974 | 4360743 |
a serologic survey of the island fox (urocyon littoralis) on the channel islands, california. | the island fox is listed as a threatened species in california. a serologic survey of 194 island foxes (urocyon littoralis) was conducted over the entire range of the species on the channel islands (california, usa). antibody prevalence against canine adenovirus and canine parvovirus reached 97% and 59%, respectively, in some populations sampled. antibody prevalence of canine herpesvirus, canine coronavirus, leptospirosis and toxoplasmosis were low. antibodies against canine distemper virus were ... | 1992 | 1318424 |
acute viral hepatitis in california sea lions. | acute viral hepatitis was diagnosed in five california sea lions (zalophus californianus) stranded along the los angeles coast. light microscopy revealed large nuclear inclusion bodies in hepatocytes. electron microscopy provided evidence that these inclusion bodies were composed of adenovirus-like virions. attempts to grow the virus in cell culture systems were unsuccessful. | 1979 | 521373 |
The fecal viral flora of wild rodents. | The frequent interactions of rodents with humans make them a common source of zoonotic infections. To obtain an initial unbiased measure of the viral diversity in the enteric tract of wild rodents we sequenced partially purified, randomly amplified viral RNA and DNA in the feces of 105 wild rodents (mouse, vole, and rat) collected in California and Virginia. We identified in decreasing frequency sequences related to the mammalian viruses families Circoviridae, Picobirnaviridae, Picornaviridae, A ... | 2011 | 21909269 |
