| disease patterns in the detroit zoo: a study of the mammalian population from 1973 through 1983. | a retrospective study was conducted to evaluate disease patterns in the mammals at the detroit zoo from 1973 through 1983. the reindeer (rangifer tarandus), common eland (taurotragus oryx), rednecked wallaby (protemnodon rufogrisea), sitatunga (tragelaphus spekii), and kangaroo (macropus spp)- were the most frequently affected mammalian species. parasitic agents (80% of which were internal parasites) caused morbidity in 60.2% of the mammals evaluated (n = 2,475) and microbial agents caused morbi ... | 1985 | 3878354 |
| summer mortality among caribou calves in west greenland. | colibacillosis with polyarthritis, due to e. coli o-group 55, has been found to be responsible for a high summer mortality among caribou valves in west greenland. the mortality is presumably consequential on overstocking and therefore likely to subside as the caribou population in the preferred habitats is reduced to a lower density--the optimum level of which is as yet unknown. | 1980 | 6112731 |
| an outbreak of diarrhea due to verotoxin-producing escherichia coli in the canadian northwest territories. | in the summer of 1991 a large outbreak of escherichia coli o157:h7 associated diarrhea occurred in 6 inuit communities in the canadian northwest territories. the total population of these communities is 5,292. of the 521 individuals who developed diarrhea, 152 (29%) were positive for e. coli o157:h7 on stool culture or positive by verotoxin analysis. median age was 6 years. the attack rate for children < 1 year was 43% in the major affected community of arviat. hemolytic-uremic syndrome (hus) de ... | 1994 | 7747090 |

| crowding and winter emergency feeding as predisposing factors for kerato-conjunctivitis in semi-domesticated reindeer in norway. | due to the hard environmental and climatic situation in late winter 1999, a herd of about 200 free-ranging, semi-domesticated reindeer was gathered in a paddock in northern norway for emergency feeding. about the same number of reindeer was not corralled but supplementary fed on their winter pastures. the fodder was of relatively good quality but very dusty and fed in a very dry environment. six weeks later, an outbreak of eye-infection was diagnosed in one third of the corralled reindeer; mild ... | 2003 | 12910868 |
| acute phase response in reindeer after challenge with escherichia coli endotoxin. | the serum concentrations of two acute phase proteins (apps), haptoglobin (hp) and serum amyloid-a (saa), were monitored in reindeer after challenge with endotoxin. four adult female reindeer received either 0.1 microg/kg escherichia coli 0111:b4 lipopolysaccharide b or saline solution intravenously. at the second challenge, the treatments were reversed. in addition to the apps, changes in blood chemistry and rectal temperature were monitored. the endotoxin challenge caused a significant increase ... | 2004 | 15325514 |
| class i integron with a group ii intron detected in an escherichia coli strain from a free-range reindeer. | an escherichia coli strain, isolated from wild reindeer in a remote mountain area, contained a class 1 integron with two unusual features: a group ii intron and a cassette with homology to a superintegron cassette. alignments indicate that attc sites of gene cassettes may be insertion sites for introns. | 2005 | 15917559 |
| campylobacter spp., salmonella spp., verocytotoxic escherichia coli, and antibiotic resistance in indicator organisms in wild cervids. | faecal samples were collected, as part of the national health surveillance program for cervids (hop) in norway, from wild red deer, roe deer, moose and reindeer during ordinary hunting seasons from 2001 to 2003. samples from a total of 618 animals were examined for verocytotoxic e. coli (vtec); 611 animals for salmonella and 324 animals for campylobacter. a total of 50 samples were cultivated from each cervid species in order to isolate the indicator bacterial species e. coli and enterococcus fa ... | 2005 | 16108210 |
| campylobacter spp., enterococcus spp., escherichia coli, salmonella spp., yersinia spp., and cryptosporidium oocysts in semi-domesticated reindeer (rangifer tarandus tarandus) in northern finland and norway. | the specific aim of this study was to assess the faecal shedding of zoonotic enteropathogens by semi-domesticated reindeer (rangifer tarandus tarandus) to deduce the potential risk to human health through modern reindeer herding. in total, 2,243 faecal samples of reindeer from northern regions of finland and norway were examined for potentially enteropathogenic bacteria (campylobacter species, enterococcus species, escherichia coli, salmonella species and yersinia species) and parasites (cryptos ... | 2006 | 16987403 |

| characteristics of shiga toxin-producing escherichia coli o157 in slaughtered reindeer from northern finland. | fecal samples collected from 470 slaughtered reindeer 6 to 7 months of age were screened by real-time pcr (after enrichment) for shiga toxin genes (stx) and then for escherichia coli serogroup o157. shiga toxin genes were found frequently (>30% of samples), and serogroup o157 was detected in 20% of the stx-positive samples. from these samples, a total of 25 e. coli o157:h(-) isolates (nonmotile but pcr positive for flich7) were obtained. twenty-four of these e. coli o157:h(-) isolates did not fe ... | 2017 | 28207302 |
| presence of foodborne pathogens, extended-spectrum β-lactamase -producing enterobacteriaceae, and methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus in slaughtered reindeer in northern finland and norway. | various food-producing animals were recognized in recent years as healthy carriers of bacterial pathogens causing human illness. in northern fennoscandia, the husbandry of semi-domesticated reindeer (rangifer tarandus tarandus) is a traditional livelihood and meat is the main product. this study determined the presence of selected foodborne pathogens, methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (mrsa), and extended-spectrum β-lactamase (esbl)-producing enterobacteriaceae in healthy semi-domestic ... | 2017 | 28049493 |
