characterization of canine adenovirus type 1 isolated from american black bears.	viruses recovered from tissues taken at necropsy from american black bears were examined by use of immunofluorescence with polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies, virus neutralization with monoclonal antibodies, and restriction endonuclease analyses of the viral genomes. with these techniques, viruses were determined to be canine adenovirus type 1. seronegative dogs that were inoculated with the virus had clinical signs typical of infectious canine hepatitis, suggesting that the virus, which was v ...	1988	2840839
seroprevalence of selected disease agents from free-ranging black bears in florida.	sera obtained from 66 free-ranging florida black bears (ursus americanus floridanus) from three geographic areas of florida (usa) between november 1993 and august 1995 were tested for antibodies to 13 disease agents. antibody prevalences were 3 positive of 37 tested (8%) coxiella burnetti, 37 of 66 (56%) toxoplasma gondii, 3 of 61 (5%) bluetongue virus/epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (btv/ehdv), 4 of 66 (6%) canine adenovirus-type 1, 5 of 66 (8%) canine distemper virus (cdv), 10 of 62 (16%) ...	1998	9706572
canine adenovirus type 1 (cadv-1) in free-ranging european brown bear (ursus arctos arctos): a threat for cantabrian population?	canine adenovirus type 1 (cadv-1) is responsible for infectious canine hepatitis. the disease has been described in captive american black bear (ursus americanus) and european brown bear (ursus arctos arctos), with just one recently reported case in a cub of a free-ranging brown bear (ursus arctos horribilis) from alaska. the aim of this work is to summarize findings related to presence and associated mortality of cadv-1 in 21 free-ranging cantabrian brown bears (ursus arctos arctos) submitted t ...	2018	30179311
a serosurvey of multiple pathogens in american black bears (ursus americanus) in pennsylvania, usa indicates a lack of association with sarcoptic mange.	infectious diseases, particularly of wildlife, are intrinsically linked to human and domestic animal health. reports of sarcoptic mange in black bears (ursus americanus) are increasing in multiple states in the usa and while the reason is unknown, mange in other species has been associated with immunosuppression from multiple causes. serum from bears across pennsylvania were collected to determine the seroprevalence of five pathogens important for animal and/or human health: canine distemper vir ...	2019	31547006
