Rickettsioses in Latin America, Caribbean, Spain and Portugal
(Revista MVZ Córdoba, 2011-05-10)
Data on genus and infectious by Rickettsia were retrospectively compiled from the critical review literature regarding all countries in Latin America, Caribbean islands, Portugal and Spain. We considered all Rickettsia ...
Climatic variability and landscape heterogeneity impact urban mosquito diversity and vector abundance and infection
(Ecosphere, 2011-06-23)
Urban habitat heterogeneity can modify interactions across species and lead to spatially fine
grained differences in b-diversity patterns and their associated ecosystem services. Here, we study the
impacts of landscape ...
Distribution of Culicoides sonorensis (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in Nebraska, South Dakota, and North Dakota: Clarifying the Epidemiology of Bluetongue Disease in the Northern Great Plains Region of the United States
(Entomological Society of America, 2011)
The presence or absence of the biting midge Culicoides sonorensis Wirth & Jones
(Diptera: Ceratopogonidae), a primary vector of bluetongue viruses (genus Orbivirus, family Reo viridae, BTV) in North America, was assessed ...
Ecological patterns of blood-feeding by kissing-bugs (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae)
(Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2011-06)
Host use by vectors is important in understanding the transmission of zoonotic diseases, which can affect hu mans, wildlife and domestic animals. Here, a synthesis of host exploitation patterns by kissing-bugs, vectors of ...
Epizootic of dolphin morbillivirus on the Catalonian Mediterranean coast in 2007
(British Veterinary Association, 2011-07-23)
BETWEEN 1990 and 1992, thousands of striped dolphins (Stenella
coeruleoalba) stranded along the Mediterranean coast due to a newly
described virus, the dolphin morbillivirus (DMV) (Domingo and others 1990, 1992). DMV is ...
Epidemiology of bovine anaplasmosis in dairy herds from Costa Rica
(Elsevier, 2011)
Bovine anaplasmosis is endemic and occurs in almost all areas of livestock production of
Costa Rica. The aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence and risk factors of
anaplasmosis in dairy farms of Costa Rica ...
Primer reporte de Leporacarus gibbus (Acarina: Lestrophoridae) en conejos de carne (Oryctolagus cuniculus) en Costa Rica
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2011-07)
Leporacarus gibbus virus es un ácaro de pelo de conejo que no penetra la piel, se ha descrito como patógeno incluso en elevadas infestaciones. El ciclo de vida es poco conocido y todos los estadios (huevo, larva, ninfa) ...
Fine-scale variation in vector host use and force of infection drive localized patterns of West Nile virus transmission
(PLOS ONE, 2011-08-19)
The influence of host diversity on multi-host pathogen transmission and persistence can be confounded by the large
number of species and biological interactions that can characterize many transmission systems. For ...
Nonlinear impacts of climatic variability on the density dependent regulation of an insect vector of disease
(Blackwell, 2011-09)
Aedes aegypti is one of the most common urban tropical mosquito species and an important vector of dengue,
chikungunya, and yellow fever viruses. It is also an organism with a complex life history where larval stages ...
In-vitropredatory activity of nematophagous fungi from Costa Rica with potential use for controlling sheep and goat parasitic nematodes
(Universidad de Costa Rica., 2011-03)
In tropical and subtropical regions of the world, parasitic diseases are a main cause of losses in live-stock productivity. The increased acquired resistence to anthelmintics by gastrointestinal nematodes, requires biological ...
