| tuberculosis survey of free-ranging marsh deer (blastocerus dichotomus) in brazil. | esophageal-pharyngeal fluids from 53 free-ranging marsh deer (blastocerus dichotomus) captured for a research program in the state of mato grosso do sul, brazil, were assayed for tuberculosis. total dna was extracted. amplified by polymerase chain reaction using specific primers for mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (m. tuberculosis, m. bovis, m. microti, and m. africanum), and observed by agarose gel electrophoresis stained with ethidium bromide. all samples were negative. this, along with nec ... | 2003 | 15080086 |
| prevalence and molecular characterization of anaplasmataceae agents in free-ranging brazilian marsh deer (blastocerus dichotomus). | anaplasmataceae organisms comprise a group of obligate intracellular gram-negative, tick-borne bacteria that can infect both animals and humans. in the present work we investigate the presence of ehrlichia, anaplasma, and neorickettsia species in blood samples from brazilian marsh deer (blastocerus dichotomus), using both molecular and serologic techniques. blood was collected from 143 deer captured along floodplains of the paraná river, near the porto primavera hydroelectric power plant. before ... | 2012 | 22381686 |
