(Texas Department of State Health Services and Community Workgroup, 2007-10-01)Most people have heard terms like "staph infection," "antibiotic resistant bacteria," and "MRSA" (pronounced mersa). This manual is designed to help people understand those terms and to provide guidance in preventing ... -
Typing of rabies virus isolates by DNA enzyme immunoassay
(Elsevier, 1999-12-01)Background: Alternatives to antigenic typing are needed for epidemiologic surveys of the rabies virus associated with translocated coyotes and foxes, especially in areas where a closely related rabies virus is transmitted ... -
Molecular epidemiology of rabies epizootics in Texas
(Elsevier, 1997-04-01)Background: Texas is in the midst of two independent epizootics of rabies, involving coyotes (Canis latrans) and domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) in southern Texas and grey foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) in west central ... -
