| toxocara vitulorum in a bison (bison bison) herd from western canada. | the discovery of the parasite toxocara vitulorum in bison calves in the province of manitoba, canada is discussed. this parasite is more commonly found in the small intestines of bovid calves living in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. this is the first time that toxocara vitulorum has been reported from hosts in canada. | 2012 | 23277649 |
| a survey to detect toxocara vitulorum and other gastrointestinal parasites in bison (bison bison) herds from manitoba and saskatchewan. | an egg count survey using environmental fecal samples obtained in spring or early summer was conducted to estimate the apparent prevalence of toxocara vitulorum in unweaned bison calves and of other intestinal parasites in adult bison on 98 farms in manitoba and saskatchewan. calf samples were pooled (maximum 5 samples per pool) by farm and positive pools were examined to determine individual t. vitulorum counts. toxocara vitulorum eggs were found on 4 farms in manitoba and none in saskatchewan. ... | 0 | 25183895 |
| risk factors for mycoplasma bovis-associated disease in farmed bison (bison bison) herds in western canada: a case-control study. | north american bison producers have been attempting to control and prevent mycoplasma bovis-associated disease without the benefit of bison-specific knowledge. the objective of this study was to determine the clinical presentation of disease associated with m. bovis infection in western canadian farmed bison, and to identify herd-level risk factors for m. bovis-associated disease. bison producers (n=49) from western canada (manitoba, saskatchewan, alberta, and british columbia) were selected for ... | 2016 | 27317324 |
| a serologic survey of mycoplasma spp. in farmed bison ( bison bison) herds in western canada. | mycoplasma bovis is emerging as an important pathogen of farmed bison in north america and is associated with high morbidity and mortality in affected herds. we developed an in-house elisa to detect antibodies against mycoplasma spp. in bison sera. the aims of the study were to estimate the seroprevalence against mycoplasma spp. in bison herds with or without past history of m. bovis-associated disease, and to determine potential risk factors for seropositivity to mycoplasma spp. in farmed bison ... | 2017 | 28578617 |
