THE ANIMAL KINGDOM, A RESERVOIR OF HUMAN DISEASE
Annals of Internal Medicine, 1948Excerpt The everlasting questions "why epidemics" and "in what manner has the human race become subject to multiform epidemization" encouraged for over a span of 40 years and on three continents th...

Wild Animals as Reservoirs of Infectious Diseases in the UK
The Veterinary Journal, 2002This review aims to illustrate the extent to which wildlife act as reservoirs of infectious agents that cause disease in domestic stock, pet and captive animals and humans. More than 40 agents are described. In the case of some of these, e.g. Cryptosporidium spp., Escherichia coli O157 and malignant catarrhal fever, the current evidence is that ...

Urine as an antigen reservoir for diagnosis of infectious diseases
The American Journal of Medicine, 1983Soluble or particulate microbial antigens are excreted in the urine in many systemic infectious processes. The ease with which urine antigens can be concentrated has facilitated their detection by immunologic methods. The group and type-specific bacterial polysaccharides are among the best studied examples of urinary excretion of microbial antigens ...

Refillable Drug Reservoirs for Retinal Vascular Diseases
American Journal of OphthalmologyMost patients with retinal vascular disease require chronic, regular treatments to maximize visual potential. This places a challenging burden on the patient and is one reason why real-world visual outcomes often lag the results seen in clinical trials.Sustained drug delivery devices have long been considered one way to alleviate this difficulty ...

Avian Reservoirs of Newcastle Disease
1976Newcastle disease is a major infection of poultry in most countries of the world. Among chickens it appears to be transmitted primarily by aerosol and consequently spreads rapidly through large flocks. Disease manifestations range from simple respiratory signs, to complications involving the nervous and digestive systems.

Animal as Reservoir of Fungal Diseases (Zoonoses?)
2010Considering the term zoonoses in a wide sense, it should include not only the traditional concept of diseases transmitted from vertebrate animals to humans, but also the concept of diseases that are common to both animals and humans. In the first case, animals are essential to the transmission of the disease to humans, while in the second animals are ...

The Role of the Reservoir Host in Tropical Disease
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine, 1944A reservoir host is a lower animal which shares some disease or parasite with man. The infection or the parasite is equally at home in man and the reservoir, is biologically indistinguishable in either case, and may oscillate quite contentedly from one to the other as environmental circumstances open the way. Such is P.

Soil as an Environmental Reservoir of Prion Diseases
2018Prions are recognized as misfolded, pathologic isoforms of the normal mammalian prion protein, which can uniquely cause infectious inherited or spontaneous disease. They are agents of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs). The normal, benign, host-encoded forms of PrP are denoted PrPC, and the infectious disease-associated, misfolded ...

Wildlife as reservoirs of zoonotic diseases in the UK
In Practice, 2008MANY more infectious diseases of humans can be acquired from animals, particularly wild animals, than from other humans. Despite this, the role of wildlife as reservoirs of disease has, until recently, been largely ignored by disease surveillance programmes in the UK. With the emergence of major diseases such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)

Wildlife, Livestock and Animal Disease Reservoirs
2000The perceived risk of disease transmission from wildlife to livestock has led to massive eradication of wildlife in Africa, especially during the first half of this century. There is no evidence in East Africa that this reduction in wildlife has decreased the incidence of livestock disease or the costs of livestock disease control.
