Detection of Dirofilaria immitis and other arthropod-borne filarioids by an HRM real-time qPCR, blood-concentrating techniques and a serological assay in dogs from Costa Rica
(Parasites and Vectors, 2015-03-23)
Background: Canine filarioids are important nematodes transmitted to dogs by arthropods. Diagnosis of canine filariosis is accomplished by the microscopic identification of microfilariae, serology or PCR for filarial-DNA. ...
Presence of Maedi-Visna in Costa Rican sheep flocks
(Small Ruminant Research, 2015-01-22)
A total of 359 sheep serum samples from 15 farms were analyzed for the presence of antibodies against Maedi Visna Virus (MVV) by Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Additionally, a survey was applied to the sheep ...
New Bruce-ladder multiplex PCR assay for the biovar typing of Brucella suis and the discrimination of Brucella suis and Brucella canis
(Veterinary Microbiology, 2011-06-11)
Rapid and specific identification of Brucella suis at the biovar level is necessary because
some of the biovars that infect animals are pathogenic for humans. None of the molecular
typing methods described so far are ...
Histopathological findings of infections caused by canine distemper virus, Trypanosoma cruzi, and other parasites in two free-ranging White-nosed Coatis Nasua narica (Carnivora: Procyonidae) from Costa Rica
(Zoo Outreach Organisation, 2021-01-26)
Canine distemper virus (CDV) causes systemic infections and immunosuppression in carnivores, which subsequently makes animals highly susceptible to opportunistic infections. Although Trypanosoma cruzi infects procyonids, ...
Detection of antibodies against flavivirus over time in wild non-human primates from the lowlands of Costa Rica
(PLOS ONE, 2019-07-05)
Two-hundred-nine free ranging non-human primates from 31 locations throughout Costa
Rica were captured and released between 1993 and 2012, and blood samples, sera or
plasma were collected, to detect antigens and antibodies, ...
Sequence analysis of the hypervariable region in hmtp210 of Avibacterium paragallinarum
(The Japanese Society of Veterinary Science, 2017-05-27)
The hmtp210 gene of Avibacterium paragallinarum, the causative agent of
infectious coryza, encodes an outer-membrane hemagglutinin (HA) that plays an essential role
in pathogenicity. A hypervariable region within this ...
Optimización de técnicas de PCR para la detección de Salmonella enterica (serotipo Gallinarum) en aves de corral de Costa Rica

Introducción: La tifosis aviar y la pulorosis,
enfermedades ocasionadas por Salmonella enterica
subsp. enterica (serotipo Gallinarum, biotipos Gallinarum
y Pullorum), son responsables de una elevada mortalidad
en aves ...
Estudio de la etiología de la fibropapilomatosis de la tortuga lora (Lepidochelys olivacea) que anida en el Refugio Nacional de Vida Silvestre de Ostional, Guanacaste, Costa Rica
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2013)
La fibropapilomatosis de la tortuga marina es una enfermedad emergente caracterizada por múltiples papilomas, fibromas y fibropapilomas cutáneos, así como ocasionales fibromas viscerales. El presente trabajo tiene como ...
