Due to limited interaction of migratory birds between Eurasia and America, two independent
avian influenza virus (AIV) gene pools have evolved. There is evidence of low frequency …

Klebsiella spp. is a common cause of bovine mastitis, but information regarding its molecular
epidemiology is lacking from many parts of the world. On using mass spectrometry and …

Many new viruses have been discovered recently, thanks in part to the advent of next-generation
sequencing technologies. Among the Parvoviridae, three novel members of the genus …

Some parvoviruses of carnivorans can infect multiple host species. Since many canine
parvoviruses were only discovered recently, their host‐range is still unexplored. We examined …

Wild birds are recognized viral reservoirs but our understanding about avian viral diversity
is limited. We describe here three novel RNA viruses that we identified in oropharyngeal/…

Fifty-six dogs from St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada, were evaluated for Angiostrongylus
vasorum infection. Small numbers of nematodes were found within pulmonary arteries of 6 …

The present work was performed to survey the gastrointestinal parasites of domestic dogs (Canis
lupus familiaris) and also to determine if any were infected with Angiostrongylus …

Aleutian mink disease virus (AMDV) causes plasmacytosis, an immune complex-associated
syndrome that affects wild and farmed mink. The virus can also infect other small mammals (…

Of 4,268 wild ducks sampled in Canada in 2005, real-time reverse transcriptase–PCR
detected influenza A matrix protein (M1) gene sequence in 37% and H5 gene sequence in 5%. …

The primary hosts for influenza A viruses are waterfowl, although gulls and shorebirds are
also important in global avian influenza dynamics. Avian influenza virus genes are separated …
