1. Isolation and identification of feline calicivirus and feline herpesvirus in Southern Brazil
Feline calicivirus (FCV) and feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1) are the two primary causes of upper respiratory tract disease in cats. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the distribution of FCV and FHV-1 among the feline population of several counties in Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. To this end, conjunctival and nasal swabs were collected from 302 c

2. Kinases of two strains of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and a strain of Mycoplasma synoviae: an overview
Mycoplasma synoviae and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae are wall-less eubacteria belonging to the class of Mollicutes. These prokaryotes have a reduced genome size and reduced biosynthetic machinery. They cause great losses in animal production. M. synoviae is responsible for an upper respiratory tract disease of chickens and turkeys. M. hyopneumoniae is the causat

3. Study relations between exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage and alterations of upper airways and trachea Thoroughbreds racehorses that have undergone endoscopic examinations in the São Paulo Jockey Club / Estudo da correlação entre a hemorragia pulmonar induzida por exercício e alterações das vias aéreas anteriores e traquéia identificadas por exame endoscópico em eqüinos da raça Puro Sangue Inglês no Jockey Club de São Paulo
Exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage (EIPH) is characterize by blood found in upper and lower respiratory tract. It is considered by many authors to have a negative effect on the athletic performance of racing horses, causing significantive economic losses. Some authors suggest that obstructive and inflammatory process breaks out HPIE, but this question has

4. Intranasal Antibody Prophylaxis for Protection against Viral Disease
For more than a century, antibody has been used for passive parenteral immunization against viral and bacterial pathogens. This approach has been successful for prevention of viral respiratory infection and has led to testing of intranasal or aerosol delivery of antibody to passively immunize the respiratory tract mucosal surface. Mucosal delivery may be adv

5. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Infection of Golden Syrian Hamsters
Small animal models are needed in order to evaluate the efficacy of candidate vaccines and antivirals directed against the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS CoV). We investigated the ability of SARS CoV to infect 5-week-old Golden Syrian hamsters. When administered intranasally, SARS CoV replicates to high titers in the lungs and nasal turb

6. Mycoplasma agassizii causes upper respiratory tract disease in the desert tortoise.
The desert tortoise is listed by the United States government as a threatened species in part of its range. A major contributing factor in the decline of this animal has been the presence of an upper respiratory tract disease (URTD) which is characterized by a chronic disease which eventually leads to severe occlusion of the nares with viscous exudate and de

7. Ureaplasma urealyticum intrauterine infection: role in prematurity and disease in newborns.
Ureaplasma urealyticum, a common commensal of the urogenital tract of sexually mature humans, is gaining recognition as an important opportunistic pathogen during pregnancy. While its etiologic significance in many aspects of adverse pregnancy remains controversial, recent evidence indicates that U. urealyticum in the absence of other organisms is a cause of

8. Strain differences in susceptibility to murine respiratory mycoplasmosis in C57BL/6 and C3H/HeN mice.
Not only is murine respiratory mycoplasmosis, due to Mycoplasma pulmonis, a complication of biomedical research, it provides excellent animal models to study the development of a naturally occurring respiratory disease induced by an infectious agent. The understanding of pathogenic mechanisms of disease can be greatly facilitated by studying genetic differen

9. Use of recombinant bovine alpha 1 interferon in reducing respiratory disease induced by bovine herpesvirus type 1.
Intranasal or intramuscular treatment of calves with recombinant bovine alpha 1 interferon before challenge with bovine herpesvirus type 1 and Pasteurella haemolytica reduced clinical signs, number of sick days, lung lesions, and weight loss. The effective dose was determined to be relatively broad within the range of 1 to 50 mg per animal. No adverse effect

10. Isolation of non-O1 Vibrio cholerae associated with enteric disease of herbivores in western Colorado.
Non-O1 Vibrio cholerae was isolated from a horse (Equus caballus), a lamb (genus Ovis), and two American buffalo (Bison bison) suffering from enteric disease in the western part of Colorado. In 1981, a foal died of apparent respiratory failure. Necropsy findings included heart failure and gastroenteritis. V. cholerae serovar 347 (Smith) was isolated from the

11. Contributions of the structural proteins of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus to protective immunity
We investigated the contributions of the structural proteins of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus (CoV) to protective immunity by expressing them individually and in combinations from a recombinant parainfluenza virus (PIV) type 3 vector called BHPIV3. This vector provided direct immunization of the respiratory tract, the major site of SAR

12. Furrier's lung
As is known, the inhalation of animal hairs can provoke immunological reactions in the respiratory tract affecting the naso-tracheo-bronchial sector and giving rise to asthma-like syndromes. Another form of disease, found in furriers with long exposure to `hair dust', is described. It is characterized by a granulomatous interstitial pneumonia, of the tubercu
