| global mammal parasite database version 2.0. | illuminating the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of parasites is one of the most pressing issues facing modern science, and is critical for basic science, the global economy, and human health. extremely important to this effort are data on the disease-causing organisms of wild animal hosts (including viruses, bacteria, protozoa, helminths, arthropods, and fungi). here we present an updated version of the global mammal parasite database, a database of the parasites of wild ungulates (artioda ... | 2017 | 28273333 |
| seroepidemiologic, molecular, and phylogenetic analyses of simian t-cell leukemia viruses (stlv-i) from various naturally infected monkey species from central and western africa. | a study of simian t-cell lymphoma/leukemia virus infection, conducted on 747 nonhuman primates belonging to 14 different species in central and western africa, indicated that 4 species (cercopithecus aethiops, erythrocebus patas, papio doguera, and cercopithecus mona pogonias) had a high prevalence of seropositivity to simian t-cell lymphoma/leukemia virus type i (stlv-i). the other nonhuman primate species, however, had negative or low levels of anti-htlv-i antibodies. stlv-i pol and env dna wa ... | 1994 | 8259665 |
| simian t-cell leukemia virus (stlv) infection in wild primate populations in cameroon: evidence for dual stlv type 1 and type 3 infection in agile mangabeys (cercocebus agilis). | three types of human t-cell leukemia virus (htlv)-simian t-cell leukemia virus (stlv) (collectively called primate t-cell leukemia viruses [ptlvs]) have been characterized, with evidence for zoonotic origin from primates for htlv type 1 (htlv-1) and htlv-2 in africa. to assess human exposure to stlvs in western central africa, we screened for stlv infection in primates hunted in the rain forests of cameroon. blood was obtained from 524 animals representing 18 different species. all the animals w ... | 2004 | 15078952 |
