| leptospiral antibodies in wild living animals from north tyrol. | the authors examined serologically 623 wild living animals (22 species) from north tyrol for the incidence of leptospirosis. positive reactions (mal) in the titre 1: 100 and more were found in 4.5% of the animals examined; the serotypes concerned were these: icterohaemorrhagiae, sorex-jalna, castellonis or arboreae, grippotyphosa, bratislava, pomona, sejroe, saxkoebing. positive reactions were obtained with the sera of sorex araneus, erinaceus europaeus, putorius putorius, vulpes vulpes, cervus ... | 1976 | 780229 |
| genetic variants of anaplasma phagocytophilum in wild caprine and cervid ungulates from the alps in tyrol, austria. | the occurrence of genetic variants of anaplasma phagocytophilum was studied in wild ungulates from the northern and central eastern alps in tyrol, austria. for this purpose, spleen samples collected from 53 game animals during the hunting season 2008/2009 (16 roe deer [capreolus capreolus], 10 red deer [cervus elaphus], 16 alpine chamois [rupicapra r. rupicapra], 7 alpine ibex [capra i. ibex], and 4 european mouflons [ovis orientalis musimon]) were analyzed. thirty-five animals originated from t ... | 2011 | 21323423 |
| serological evidence for parapoxvirus infection in chamois from the tyrol regions of austria and italy. | orf-virus (orfv) is a parapoxvirus that infects small ruminants worldwide causing sporadic zoonotic infections, mainly transmitted by direct contact with sheep and goats. following an orfv case in a hunter of alpine chamois (rupicapra rupicapra), who did not report previous contact to domestic animals, a serological survey in western austria was conducted to assess the seroprevalence of orfv in this species. in addition, this study also tested blood/tissue samples of chamois from different areas ... | 2014 | 25273967 |
| orf virus infection in a hunter in western austria, presumably transmitted by game. | a variety of animals host parapoxviruses. orf virus is prevalent in sheep and goats in the tyrol region of austria and northern italy. zoonotic infections in humans mostly occur after occupational exposure. we report here a case of a hunter with a typical orf lesion (contagious ecthyma) on the finger, with no history of direct contact with domestic animals. three weeks previously he had been hunting chamois (rupicapra rupicapra) and cut his finger while handling a carcass. parapoxvirus infection ... | 2014 | 23995221 |
| cattle-derived salmonella enterica serovar dublin infections in red foxes ( vulpes vulpes ) in tyrol, austria. | salmonella enterica serovar dublin is endemic in the cattle population in some areas of the austrian province tyrol, and each year single dairy farms have experienced clinical infections. to ascertain if tyrolean red foxes ( vulpes vulpes ) act as a reservoir for salmonella spp., we tested hepatic tissue and intestinal content from foxes hunted in the years 2015-16 by using microbiological methods. in addition, we included several fox fecal samples collected on a mountain pasture near chamois ca ... | 2017 | 28139955 |
