| karyological and dental identification of microtus limnophilus in a large focus of alveolar echinococcosis (gansu, china). | a study of voles (arvicolidae, rodentia) from gansu (china) designed to identify a potential host of echinococcus multilocularis, responsible for human alveolar echinococcosis, leads to a general analysis of microtus limnophilus population karyotypes, m1 of m. oeconomus populations from all of eurasia and of m. limnophilus of mongolia. the microtus of gansu belonging to the nominal subspecies m. limnophilus limnophilus (2n = 38; nf = 58) differs markedly in size and shape of m1 from the m. limno ... | 1999 | 10457599 |
| an epidemiological and ecological study of human alveolar echinococcosis transmission in south gansu, china. | human alveolar echinococcosis (ae) is usually a rare, highly pathogenic zoonotic disease, transmitted across the northern hemisphere between fox and rodent hosts. in china the first cases were described in 1965; however very few epidemiological studies have been undertaken since. following identification in 1991 of a serious focus of human ae in south gansu province, detailed village-based community and ecological studies were carried out between 1994 and 1997. hepatic ultrasound mass screening ... | 2000 | 11080507 |
