| 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 |
| serologic survey for selected viral pathogens in brown bears from italy. | blood samples were collected from six captive bears and nine free-ranging marsican brown bears (ursus arctos marsicanus) in the abruzzo national park, italy, between 1991 and 1995. sera were tested for evidence of exposure to canine distemper virus (cdv), canine adenovirus type 2, canine coronavirus, and canine parvovirus type 2 (cpv-2). serologic evidence of cdv and cpv-2-exposure was found in both captive and free-ranging bears. this may be the first report of cdv exposure in free-ranging bear ... | 1997 | 9131563 |
| antibodies to selected pathogens in free-ranging terrestrial carnivores and marine mammals in canada. | antibody titres to selected pathogens (canine adenovirus [cav-2], feline herpesvirus [fhv], phocine herpesvirus [phv-1], canine distemper virus, dolphin morbillivirus [dmv], phocine distemper virus [pdv], parainfluenza virus type 3 [pi3], rabies virus, dolphin rhabdovirus [drv], canine coronavirus, feline coronavirus, feline leukaemia virus, borrelia burgdorferi and toxoplasma gondii) were determined in whole blood or serum samples from selected free-ranging terrestrial carnivores and marine mam ... | 2004 | 15338705 |
| serologic evidence for selected infectious diseases in marsican brown bears (ursus arctos marsicanus) in italy (2004-09). | we tested 30 serum samples collected during 2004-09 from 22 free-ranging marsican brown bears (ursus arctos marsicanus) in the national park of abruzzo, lazio, and molise, italy, for antibodies against canine distemper virus (cdv), canine adenovirus type 2 (cav-2), canine parvovirus type 2 (cpv-2), brucella spp., and eight leptospira interrogans sensu lato serovars. antibody to cdv was detected in 11 samples (37%); only two bears (10%) had detectable cav-2 and brucella spp. antibodies; three bea ... | 2015 | 25375945 |
| infectious canine hepatitis in a brown bear ( ursus arctos horribilis) from alaska. | we diagnosed infectious canine hepatitis in a free-ranging brown bear ( ursus arctos horribilis) cub from alaska, us, found dead in october 2015. intranuclear inclusion bodies were present in hepatocytes, and immunohistochemistry showed reactivity to adenoviral antigens. sequencing of the hexon protein of adenovirus showed 100% identity to canine adenovirus 1. | 2018 | 29498898 |
| 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 |
| serologic survey of selected viral pathogens in free-ranging eurasian brown bears ( ursus arctos arctos) from slovakia. | we tested sera of 24 free-ranging european brown bears ( ursus arctos) from six regions of slovakia for antibodies to 10 viral agents. we tested sera by an indirect fluorescence antibody test for antibodies to canine distemper virus (cdv), canine coronavirus (ccv), canine parvovirus type 2 (cpv-2), canine adenovirus, canine parainfluenza virus type 2 (cpiv-2), and canine herpesvirus type 1 (chv-1). we used an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection of antibodies to hepatitis e virus, blu ... | 2019 | 30289326 |
| exposure of alaska brown bears (ursus arctos) to bacterial, viral, and parasitic agents varies spatiotemporally and may be influenced by age. | we collected blood and serum from 155 brown bears (ursus arctos) inhabiting five locations in alaska, us during 2013-16 and tested samples for evidence of prior exposure to a suite of bacterial, viral, and parasitic agents. antibody seroprevalence among alaska brown bears was estimated to be 15% for brucella spp., 10% for francisella tularensis, 7% for leptospira spp., 18% for canine adenovirus type 1 (cav-1), 5% for canine distemper virus (cdv), 5% for canine parvovirus, 5% for influenza a viru ... | 2019 | 30557123 |
| 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 |
