Genetic typing of bovine viral diarrhea virus isolates from Costa Rica
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2012-09-16)
Sixteen bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) isolates collected in Costa Rica between 1987 and 2006 from dairy
cattle were analyzed by RT-PCR and determined to belong to BVDV species 1. Furthermore, eleven of these
isolates ...
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 ...
Rotavirus Genotypes in Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras and the Dominican Republic
(S. Karger AG, Basel, 2010-07-02)
In this study, 574 stool samples from children with gastroen-
teritis were obtained from different hospitals in Costa Rica,
Honduras, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic during
2005–2006. Diarrhea stool samples ...
Arboviral encephalitis in Costa Rican horses: 2009-2016
(Elsevier, 2016)
Arbovirus of the genus Alphavirus and Flavivirus
can cause febrile illness and sometimes neurological disease
in both humans and animals. West Nile Virus (WNV), Eastern
Equine Encephalitis Virus (EEEV), Western Equine ...

Absence of IgG antibodies against Schmallenberg virus in ruminant sera (bovine, goat and sheep) collected in Costa Rica between 2012 and 2014.
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2017-07)
Schmallenberg virus affects ruminants, which causes significant economic losses. The virus is transmitted
through vectors of the genus Culicoides; however, other studies do not rule out the possibility of sexual
transmission ...
Neotropical bats from Costa Rica harbour diverse coronaviruses
(Blackwell, 2015)
Bats are hosts of diverse coronaviruses (CoVs) known to potentially cross the
host–species barrier. For analysing coronavirus diversity in a bat species-rich
country, a total of 421 anal swabs/faecal samples from Costa ...
Seroprevalence and risk factors for equine arboviral infections (Eastern Equine Encephalomyelitis, Western Equine Encephalomyelitis, Venezuelan Equine Encephalomyelitis and West Nile Fever) in Costa Rica
(Elsevier, 2016)
To gain a better understanding of the epidemio-
logical situation of arboviral infections in horses in Costa Rica,
a national IgG seroprevalence study was performed in 2013. In
Costa Rica, equine arboviral infections ...
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 ...
Assessing changing weather and the El Niño Southern Oscillation impacts on cattle rabies outbreaks and mortality in Costa Rica (1985–2016)
(BMC Veterinary Research, 2018-09-17)
Background: Rabies is a major zoonotic disease affecting humans, domestic and wildlife mammals. Cattle are the
most important domestic animals impacted by rabies virus in the New World, leading to thousands of cattle ...
