Working with various regional host-nation partners, the laboratories have been able to document the geographic spread of antimicrobial resistance in common organisms.
The epidemiological investigation identified the likely site and source of the botulinum toxin as a concrete catchment basin and documented the geographic expansion of mortality to 12 wetlands concurrent with peak dispersal of fledglings on the islands of Midway.
We also document the geographic distribution of a Great Basin lineage of cutthroat trout; a group typically defined as Bonneville cutthroat trout, but it appears more closely related to the Colorado River lineage of cutthroat trout.
More screening of other African Melanoides populations is required to fully document the geographic coverage of African invaders and the extent to which this coverage results from intercontinental introductions versus dispersal of invaders within Africa.
To better document the geographic origins of invasive populations, we used both plastid and nuclear DNA markers to characterize native and invasive trees of both subspecies cuspidata and europaea.
Loxosceles are notorious for the ability of their venoms to cause dermonecrotic lesions and systemic manifestations including intravascular hemolysis, disseminated intravascular coagulation and acute renal failure, an effect termed Loxoscelism, this has been documented across the geographic distribution of the genus [ 2, 3].
PCR effectively documented the wide geographic spread of N. meningitidis serogroup W135.
Several recent reports (1 – 7 ) have documented the widespread geographic distribution of West Nile virus (WNV) in Mexico, but until now, no autochthonous human cases of illness due to this virus have been reported from the republic.
The project that we describe in this paper goes even further to obtain large sample sizes across a broad geographic extent, to integrate heterogeneous types of data (e.g., climate, hydrology, land use, in addition to the site-level data), and to document the full geographic description of all ecosystems within a study area.
While there has been amply documented evidence on the geographic variation of ESRD in many countries, studies of regional patterns of CKD prevalence at the township level in a country are lacking [ 2].
