| serologic survey for toxoplasma gondii infection in the brown hare (lepus europaeus p.) in sweden. | serum samples from 176 brown hares (lepus europaeus p.) shot in three areas of south and central sweden during 1984 and 1985 were analyzed for antibodies to the protozoan parasite toxoplasma gondii using several serological assays. no toxoplasma antibodies were detected in any of the sera, either by direct agglutination test or by elisa, and selected sera were also negative in the ifat and the sabin feldman dye test. based on the high incidence of acute fatal toxoplasmosis in hares in scandinavi ... | 1994 | 8028104 |
| epizootiologic and ecologic investigations of european brown hares (lepus europaeus) in selected populations from schleswig-holstein, germany. | from 1997-99 european brown hare (lepus europaeus) population densities were estimated by spotlight surveys within different areas in schleswig-holstein, germany. these areas showed a wide variation in local hare population densities. in addition, red fox (vulpes vulpes) densities were estimated in 1997 by surveys of fox dens and litters. sera of 321 hares (shot between 1998-2000) from four study areas were examined for antibodies against european brown hare syndrome virus (ebhsv) by enzyme link ... | 2003 | 14733269 |
| molecular and biological characteristics of toxoplasma gondii isolates from wildlife in france. | toxoplasma gondii isolates have been classified into 3 genetic types. little is known about genotypes of t. gondii isolates in wild animals in europe. in this report, genotypes of t. gondii isolates from wildlife in france are described. sera from wildlife were tested for antibodies to t. gondii with the modified agglutination test, and the hearts from animals with titers superior or equal to 1:6 were bioassayed individually in mice. t.gondii was isolated from 9 of 14 seropositive red foxes (vul ... | 2010 | 20417034 |
| natural toxoplasma gondii infections in european brown hares and mountain hares in finland: proportional mortality rate, antibody prevalence, and genetic characterization. | in material examined postmortem in finland from may 2006 to april 2009, acute generalized toxoplasmosis was the immunohistochemically confirmed cause of death in 14 (8.1%) of 173 european brown hares (lepus europaeus) and four (2.7%) of 148 mountain hares (lepus timidus). sera from 116 of the european brown hares and 99 of the mountain hares were screened with a commercial direct agglutination test for toxoplasma gondii-specific igg antibodies at a dilution of 1:40. all sera from cases of fatal ... | 2011 | 21270004 |
| serological survey on some pathogens in wild brown hares (lepus europaeus) in central italy. | to determine the exposure of wild brown hares [lepus europaeus (l. europaeus), pallas] to anaplasma phagocytophilum (a. phagocytophilum), borrelia burgdorferi (b. burgdorferi) sensu lato, encephalitozoon cuniculi (e. cuniculi), leishmania sp., neospora caninum (n. caninum) and toxoplasma gondii (t. gondii). | 2016 | 27261855 |
| seroprevalence of toxoplasma gondii infection in wild boars, wild rabbits, and wild chickens in hubei province, china. | toxoplasma gondii causes serious infection worldwide in humans and animals. in this study, the seroepidemiology of toxoplasmosis was investigated in wild boars (sus scrofa) (n=377), wild rabbits (cape hare, lapus capensis) (n=331), and wild chickens (red junglefwol, gallus gallus) (n=571) in 4 forested and country sided area of hubei province of china. for this, blood samples were collected and tested by indirect hemagglutination test (iha). the seroprevalence was found to be 7.2%, 5.1%, and 12. ... | 2017 | 28285512 |
| neospora caninum and toxoplasma gondii antibodies in european brown hares in the czech republic, slovakia and austria. | european brown hares (lepus europaeus) coming from the czech republic, slovakia and austria were tested for serum antibodies against neospora caninum by a competitive-inhibition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and for serum antibodies against toxoplasma gondii by an indirect fluorescent antibody test. in a total of 925 samples, 280 (30%) and 132 (14%) reacted positively for n. caninum and t. gondii antibodies, respectively. out of 333 hares in the czech republic, 129 (39%) and 71 (21%) reacted ... | 2010 | 20347525 |
| fatal toxoplasmosis in brown hares (lepus europaeus): possible reasons of their high susceptibility to the infection. | brown hares (lepus europaeus) trapped in the countryside and domestic rabbits were experimentally infected with toxoplasma gondii (k7 strain) oocysts. hares (n=12) were divided into groups of 4 and infected with 10, 10(3) and 10(5) oocysts. rabbits (n=12) were infected in the same way. the experimentally infected animals were monitored for 33 days after infection (p.i.). most of the infected hares demonstrated behavioural changes, and all of them died between 8 and 19 days p.i. three of the rabb ... | 2000 | 11027857 |
| detection of toxoplasma gondii in liver tissue sections from brown hares (lepus europaeus p.) and mountain hares (lepus timidus l.) using the peroxidase anti-peroxidase (pap) technique as a complement to conventional histopathology. | | 1988 | 3055758 |
