| the pathogenicity of bovine strains of foot and mouth disease virus for impala and wildebeest. | impala (aepyceros melampus) and wildebeest (connochaetes taurinus) were infected with bovine strains of foot and mouth disease virus by intradermolingual inoculation. no clinical signs developed in the impala but mild atypical lesions developed in the tongues of the wildebeest with generalized spread to one foot in two of the eight animals exposed. all the impala but only some of the wildebeest developed viraemia. no virus could be isolated from any tissues in either species after the 7th day fo ... | 1975 | 167208 |
| genetic relationships between southern african sat-2 isolates of foot-and-mouth-disease virus. | sequencing of part of the 1d gene of foot-and-mouth disease virus was used to determine the relationships between sat-2 viruses isolated from outbreaks which occurred in cattle in zimbabwe and namibia and in impala in south africa between 1979 and 1989. the results demonstrated that the outbreaks in different countries were unrelated. surprisingly close relationships were shown between all sat-2 viruses isolated from cattle in zimbabwe since 1983 but the two major epizootics which occurred in 19 ... | 1992 | 1334842 |
| antibodies to some pathogenic agents in free-living wild species in tanzania. | a total of 535 sera from eight species of wildlife were collected from different game areas in tanzania between 1987 and 1989. these sera were tested for antibodies against foot-and-mouth disease, bovine herpes virus types 1 and 2, lumpy skin disease, bovine viral diarrhoea, akabane, bovine ephemeral fever, bluetongue, enzootic bovine leucosis, african horse sickness and african swine fever viruses and brucella abortus based on the expected species susceptibility. sera from buffalo syncerus caff ... | 1990 | 2123458 |
| the role of wild animals, other than buffalo, in the current epidemiology of foot-and-mouth disease in zimbabwe. | between 1989 and 1992, 7970 wild ungulates, comprising 14 different species, were tested for antibodies to types sat 1, sat 2 and sat 3 foot-and-mouth disease (fmd) virus. of these 1.2% were found to be positive and these included impala (aepyceros melampus), eland (taurotragus oryx), waterbuck (kobus ellipsiprymnus) and sable (hippotragus niger). all the positive animals were either from the wildlife areas where buffalo (syncerus caffer) occur or from ranches where clinical fmd had occurred in ... | 1993 | 8270015 |
| the 1992 foot-and-mouth disease epizootic in the kruger national park. | the monitoring of a foot-and-mouth disease epizootic amongst impala (aepyceros melampus) in the kruger national park is described. infection rates of different sex and age classes of impala within the outbreak focus were determined. seroprevalence rates in other clovenhoofed species were also determined. rna sequencing of a portion of the 1d gene of viruses isolated from sat-2 viruses obtained from diseased impala showed that they were unrelated to previous sat-2 isolates made from animals in th ... | 1996 | 8765068 |
| natural transmission of foot-and-mouth disease virus between african buffalo (syncerus caffer) and impala (aepyceros melampus) in the kruger national park, south africa. | vp1 gene sequences of sat-2 type foot-and-mouth disease (fmd) viruses recovered from impala and african buffalo in the kruger national park (knp) were used to determine intra- and interspecies relationships of viruses circulating in these wildlife populations. on this basis five distinct lineages of sat-2 virus were identified in routine sampling of oesophageopharyngeal epithelium from buffalo between 1988 and 1996. different lineages were associated with discrete geographic sampling localities. ... | 2000 | 10982083 |
| an investigation into the source and spread of foot and mouth disease virus from a wildlife conservancy in zimbabwe. | african buffalo were introduced into a wildlife conservancy in the southeast of zimbabwe in an effortto increase the conservancy's economic viability, which is primarily based on eco-tourism. the buffalo were infected with sat serotypes (sat-1, sat-2 and sat-3) of foot and mouth disease (fmd) virus, and in order to isolate the conservancy and prevent the transmission of fmd to adjacent populations of domestic livestock, the conservancy was surrounded by a double-fence system, 1.8 m in height. th ... | 2004 | 15861873 |
| host and viral traits predict zoonotic spillover from mammals. | the majority of human emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic, with viruses that originate in wild mammals of particular concern (for example, hiv, ebola and sars). understanding patterns of viral diversity in wildlife and determinants of successful cross-species transmission, or spillover, are therefore key goals for pandemic surveillance programs. however, few analytical tools exist to identify which host species are likely to harbour the next human virus, or which viruses can cross species ... | 2017 | 28636590 |
| global mammal parasite database version 2.0. | illuminating the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of parasites is one of the most pressing issues facing modern science, and is critical for basic science, the global economy, and human health. extremely important to this effort are data on the disease-causing organisms of wild animal hosts (including viruses, bacteria, protozoa, helminths, arthropods, and fungi). here we present an updated version of the global mammal parasite database, a database of the parasites of wild ungulates (artioda ... | 2017 | 28273333 |
