| molecular characterization of three ferret badger (melogale moschata) rabies virus isolates from jiangxi province, china. | ferret badger (fb) rabies viruses jx09-17(fb), jx09-18 and jx10-37 were isolated from three different regions in jiangxi province, china, in 2009 and 2010. the complete nucleotide sequence identity between these three isolates was 87-93 %. compared with the other chinese rabies virus isolates and vaccine strains, 101 substitutions (53 in jx10-37, 23 in jx09-17(fb) and 25 in jx09-18) in the five structural proteins were observed, and 47 of these substitutions (27 in jx10-37, 14 in jx09-17(fb) and ... | 2014 | 24643334 |
| epidemic and maintenance of rabies in chinese ferret badgers (melogale moschata) indicated by epidemiology and the molecular signatures of rabies viruses. | an epidemic of chinese ferret badger-associated human rabies was investigated in wuyuan county, jiangxi province and rabies viruses isolates from ferret badgers in different districts in jiangxi and zhejiang provinces were sequenced with their nucleotides and amino acids and aligned for epidemiological analysis. the results showed that the human rabies in wuyuan are only associated with ferret badger bites; the rabies virus can be isolated in a high percentage of ferret badgers in the epidemic a ... | 2013 | 23689981 |
| prevalence and genetic characterization of toxoplasma gondii in badgers (melogale moschata) in southern china by pcr-rflp. | toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular apicomplexan parasite which is able to infect almost all warm-blooded animals. there is no information about the prevalence and genetic characterization of t. gondii in badgers (melogale moschata) in china. here, a total of 367 badgers were captured from different cities in jiangxi province, southern china. genomic dna was extracted from brain tissues of each badgers, and 57 (15.45%) of them were positive for t. gondii by semi-nested pcr of the b1 g ... | 2017 | 28434971 |
