Prevalence and genetic heterogeneity of Bartonella strains cultured from rodents from 17 provinces in Thailand.

30 Oct 2009 To study the distribution and diversity of Bartonella in rodents from Thailand, 330 rodents belonging to 13 species were tested. The majority (80.6%) of rodents examined belonged to the genus Rattus. Bartonellae were cultured from 41.5% of the ... Read more...

[Infectious diseases and climate change]

24 Oct 2009 Climate changes will likely have an impact on the spectrum of infectious diseases in Europe. We may see an increase in vector-borne diseases, diseases spread by rodents such as Hantavirus, and food- and water-borne diseases. As the effects of ... Read more...

[Status of the use of laboratory animals since 2000 in Denmark]

17 Oct 2009 Since 2000 the annual use of laboratory animals in Denmark has remained constant at approx. 350,000 animals. Two thirds, i.e. approx. 220,000 of these, were used for medical research. The majority (48-69%) were used for research in neurological and ... Read more...
