| survey of leptospira spp in pampas deer (ozotoceros bezoarticus) in the pantanal wetlands of the state of mato grosso do sul, brazil by serology and polymerase chain reaction. | this work reports a survey of leptospira spp in pampas deer (ozotoceros bezoarticus) in the pantanal wetlands of the state of mato grosso do sul, brazil by serology and polymerase chain reaction (pcr). seventy pampas deer were captured in the dry season and surveyed using pcr, microscopic agglutination test (mat) (n = 51) and by both techniques (n = 47). pcr detected infections in two pampas deer and mat detected infections in three. through sequencing and phylogenetic analyses, the pcr-amplifie ... | 2011 | 22012234 |
| serosurvey for antibodies against brucella abortus and leptospira interrogans in pampas deer from brazil. | a survey for antibodies against brucella abortus, and leptospira interrogans was conducted on 17 pampas deer (ozotocerus bezoarticus) from pantanal matogrossense (state of mato grosso do sul, brazil) and on 24 pampas deer from parque nacional de emas (state of goiás, brazil). antibodies against b. abortus were detected by plate agglutination, rose bengal, and complement fixation tests; antibodies against leptospira interrogans were detected by the microscopic agglutination test. all sera were ne ... | 1999 | 10073359 |
