| the landscape epidemiology of rabies in virginia. | rabies virus, the gray fox, and the alleghenian biotic region form a pathobiocenose; rabies in virginia exists in a diffuse nidus, the alleghenian biotic region. physiographic features may serve as barriers or as passageways for epidemic spread of rabies. epidemic spread is characterized by a radial pattern and a linear northeast-southwest pattern reflecting physiographic features. incidence of rabies in the fox varies according to seasons. present control efforts are generally ineffective; unde ... | 1978 | 677370 |
| rabies antibody prevalence and virus tissue tropism in wild carnivores in virginia. | carnivores trapped in a rabies control program in virginia were examined for rabies virus and serum neutralizing antibody. local antibody prevalence ranged from 0% to 29% in gray foxes (urocyon cinereoargenteus). rabies virus was pantropic in naturally infected gray foxes and a bobcat (lynx rufus). | 1978 | 739588 |

| survey of antibodies to trypanosoma cruzi and leishmania spp. in gray and red fox populations from north carolina and virginia. | american trypanosomiasis and leishmaniasis are caused by related hemoflagellate parasites, trypanosoma cruzi and leishmania spp., which share several common host species. both zoonotic protozoans are endemic in the united states. canines, including domestic and wild canids, are reservoir hosts for human infections with t. cruzi and leishmania spp. the present study examined the seroprevalence of t. cruzi and leishmania spp. in wild canids from north carolina and virginia. wild canine species tes ... | 2010 | 21158642 |
| amblyomma auricularium (ixodida: ixodidae) in florida: new hosts and distribution records. | previous published evidence for the occurrence of an exotic armadillo tick, amblyomma auricularium (conil), in florida is scant, but we found it is fully established and integrated into the state's tick fauna. we collected 11,192 specimens of this tick from naturalized nine-banded armadillos, dasypus novemcinctus l., and 14 other species of wild native mammals and birds in florida, while sampling statewide during 2004 through 2007. in all, we document its specific presence only in 14 contiguous ... | 2017 | 28082640 |
