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, ...
Detección molecular de especies de Plasmodium y bacterias del complejo Mycobacterium tuberculosis en primates no humanos, en cautiverio, de Costa Rica
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2016-04)
Con el objetivo de determinar la presencia de especies de Plasmodium en primates no
humanos mediante gota gruesa, reacción en cadena de la polimerasa multiplex semi anidado
(SnM-PCR, por sus siglas en inglés) para ...
Positivity of Lawsonia intracellularis in seven regions of Costa Rica diagnosed by porcine fecal samples using Real time PCR
(Anatomical Society, 2019-08)
Lawsonia intracellularis is an obligate
intracellular, motile, curved, gram-negative
bacterium that resides freely within the apical
cytoplasm of infected intestinal enterocytes
(Pusterla & Gebhart, 2013). Europe, Asia ...
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, ...
Identificación de genogrupos de protoparvovirus y sus variantes en leucocitos de gatos domésticos del Valle Central de Costa Rica
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2022)
El protoparvovirus carnívoro 1 (CPPV-1), incluye al parvovirus felino (o virus de la
panleucopenia felina, FPV) y al parvovirus canino 2 (CPV-2). En la actualidad CPV-2 no
se encuentra en la naturaleza, sino sus variantes ...
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 ...
Detección de anticuerpos contra Trypanosoma cruzi en caninos de Costa Rica y evaluación de nuevos casos de tripanosomiasis canina en la comunidad de Getsemaní en Heredia
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2018-02)
La enfermedad de Chagas o tripanosomiasis americana es una enfermedad zoonótica producida por el protozoario Trypanosoma cruzi, el cual puede infectar a humanos, animales domésticos y silvestres. En Costa Rica, sólo se han ...
