| serologic survey for infectious canine hepatitis virus in grizzly bears (ursus arctos) from alaska, 1973 to 1987. | serum antibody prevalence of infectious canine hepatitis virus was 12% (90 of 725) for grizzly bears (ursus arctos) from alaska (usa) during the period 1973 to 1987. prevalence was highest on kodiak island at 29% (37 of 127). prevalence of exposure at individual collection areas did not change significantly over time. there were no significant sex-specific differences in prevalence. prevalence was directly related to age, but it was 0% for bears less than 2-yr-old. young bears which are exposed ... | 1989 | 2554000 |
| an adenovirus linked to mortality and disease in long-tailed ducks (clangula hyemalis) in alaska. | an adenovirus was isolated from intestinal samples of two long-tailed ducks (clangula hyemalis) collected during a die-off in the beaufort sea off the north coast of alaska in 2000. the virus was not neutralized by reference antiserum against known group i, ii, or iii avian adenoviruses and may represent a new serotype. the prevalence of the virus was determined in live-trapped long-tailed ducks at the mortality site and at a reference site 100 km away where no mortality was observed. prevalence ... | 2003 | 14708993 |
| a serologic survey for antibodies to three canine viruses in wolverines (gulo gulo) from the brooks range, alaska. | canine distemper virus (cdv), canine parvovirus type 2 (cpv-2), and canine adenovirus type 1 (cav-1) are pathogens that are typically associated with canids but may cause serious disease in a wide range of other carnivores. from 1998 to 2002, serum samples from 64 wolverines (gulo gulo) from the brooks range, alaska, were tested for antibodies to cdv, cpv-2, and canine adenovirus (cav). four animals tested positive for antibodies to cdv (7%), one for antibodies to cpv-2 (2%), and none for antibo ... | 2005 | 16456170 |
| assessment of serum antibody titers against canine distemper virus, canine adenovirus type ii, and canine parvovirus in alaskan sled dogs before and after a long-distance race. | to determine serum antibody titers against canine distemper virus (cdv), canine adenovirus type ii (cav-2), and canine parvovirus (cpv) in trained sled dogs prior to and after completion of a long-distance race. | 2008 | 18518808 |
| viral respiratory infections in hospitalized and community control children in alaska. | respiratory syncytial virus (rsv) in alaska native children from the yukon kuskokwim (yk) delta is associated with a hospitalization rate five times higher than that reported for the general us child population. the role of other viral respiratory pathogens has not been studied in this population. yk delta children <3 years of age hospitalized with respiratory infections and same aged community control children were prospectively enrolled between october 2005 and september 2007. polymerase chain ... | 2010 | 20513097 |
| outbreak of pneumonia associated with emergent human adenovirus serotype 14--southeast alaska, 2008. | in september 2008, an outbreak of pneumonia associated with an emerging human adenovirus (human adenovirus serotype 14 [hadv-14]) occurred on a rural southeast alaska island. nine patients required hospitalization, and 1 patient died. | 2010 | 20533881 |
