bovine leukemia virus infection in taiwan: epidemiological study.	we conducted a seroepidemiological survey for antibodies to bovine leukemia virus (blv), by using agar gel immunodiffusion technique, in dairy cows, water buffaloes, and yellow cattle throughout taiwan. the positive reactors were 8.4% (376/4,459) in 1985 and 5.8% (1,277/22,190) in 1986, in 15 prefectures and 7 cities. relatively high infection rate appeared in the northern and southern areas of taiwan. positive reactors increased gradually with age. the incidence of positive antibodies was 2 to ...	1991	1653035

plasma luteinizing hormone and progesterone concentrations after prostaglandin f2 alpha in taiwan yellow cows (bos indicus).	a luteolytic dose (500 micrograms) of cloprostenol was given four days before expected estrus to five mature cyclic cows of native taiwan yellow cattle. blood samples were collected at hourly intervals for 60 hours and then twice daily (0800 h and 1600 h) until onset of the following estrus or day 29 after prostaglandin (pg) injection. plasma progesterone levels were quite low in the follicular phase and elevated over an 11-13 day period during the luteal phase for every animal. two cows showed ...	1994	7705176
characteristics of foot and mouth disease virus in taiwan.	since march 1997 two strains of foot and mouth disease (fmd) virus have found their way into taiwan, causing severe outbreaks in pigs and in chinese yellow cattle. outbreaks occurred in march 1997 were caused by a pig-adapted virus strain (o/taiwan/97) which did not infect other species of cloven-hoofed animals by natural route. the epidemic spread over the whole region of taiwan within two months and the aftermath was 6,147 pig farms infected and 3,850,746 pigs destroyed. in june 1999, the seco ...	2000	10945282
molecular characterization of foot-and-mouth disease virus isolated from ruminants in taiwan in 1999-2000.	in 1999, 10 sporadic outbreaks of cattle foot-and-mouth disease (fmd) occurred in taiwan. by the time, infection was limited to the chinese yellow cattle (a native species of beef cattle in mainland china), which did not develop vesicular lesions under field conditions. five viruses isolates obtained from individual farms were confirmed to be the serotype o fmd virus (o/taiwan/1999). during january-february 2000, however, this virus has spread to dairy cattle and goat herds, causing severe morta ...	2001	11390103
characterization of the genetic diversity and population structure for the yellow cattle in taiwan based on microsatellite markers.	in recent years, the population size of taiwan yellow cattle has drastically declined, even become endangered. a preservation project, taiwan yellow cattle genetic preservation project (tycgpp), was carried out at the livestock research institute (lri) hengchun branch (1988-present). an analysis of intra- and inter- population variability was performed to be the first step to preserve this precious genetic resource. in this work, a total number of 140 individuals selected from the five taiwan ye ...	2014	24813218
ear fibroblasts derived from taiwan yellow cattle are more heat resistant than those from holstein cattle.	the objective of this study was to compare the thermotolerances of ear fibroblasts derived from holstein (h) and taiwan yellow cattle (y) and their apoptosis-related protein expressions with (1, 3, 6, 12, and 24h) or without heat shock treatment. the results showed that the vaginal temperatures of y (38.4-38.5°c) were (p<0.05) lower than that of h (38.8°c) during the hot season. the apoptotic rates of ear fibroblasts derived from y (6h: 1.1%; 12h: 1.6%; 24h: 2.6%) were lower (p<0.05) than those ...	2017	28477910
