[spotted fever group rickettsiosis and vectors in kanagawa prefecture].	primer pairs for pcr were designed from the gene encoding the 17,000-molecular-weight genus-common antigen of rickettsia japonica, rickettsia rickettsii, rickettsia conorii, rickettsia typhi and rickettsia prowazekii. primers r1, r2 were designed for amplifying the genomic dna from spotted fever group (sfg) rickettsiae and epidemic typhus rickettsiae. primers rj5, rj10 were designed for amplifying the genomic dna from only r. japonica. using the primers r1, r2, about a 540-bp fragment was observ ...	1996	8741704
ectoparasites of the pallas squirrel, callosciurus erythraeus, introduced to japan.	the squirrel callosciurus erythraeus (pallas) (rodentia: sciuridae) was intentionally introduced to japan in 1935 and has become established throughout much of the country. although they live mainly in forests, pallas squirrels come into gardens and are frequently fed by people or kept as pets, so their ectoparasites could be of potential medical as well as veterinary importance. during 2001-2003 we conducted the first ectoparasite survey of pallas squirrels in japan. from 105 c. erythraeus capt ...	2004	15009447
