| ibaraki disease and its relationship to bluetongue. | ibaraki disease, an epizootic disease of cattle in japan resembling bluetongue, is characterized by fever and lesions affecting the mucous membranes, the skin, the musculature and vascular system. degeneration of striated muscular tissue is observed in the oesophagus, larynx, pharynx, tongue and the skeletal muscles. oedema and haemorrhage are marked in the mouth, lips, abomasum, around the coronets, etc., and are occasionally followed by degeneration of the epithelium leading to erosions or ulc ... | 1975 | 169788 |
| the time-dependent transfer factor of radiocesium from soil to game animals in japan after the fukushima dai-ichi nuclear accident. | since the fukushima dai-ichi accident, monitoring of tissues from hunted game animals ensures compliance with the standard food limits for radionuclides in japan. we quantified the transfer of (137)cs from contaminated land to game animals using the aggregated transfer factor (tag = activity concentration in meat [bq kg(-1) fw]/amount in soil [bq m(-2)]) of (137)cs for asian black bear, wild boar, sika deer, green pheasant, copper pheasant and wild duck, collected between 2011 and 2015. open dat ... | 2016 | 27513196 |
| the high prevalence of hepatitis e virus infection in wild boars in ibaraki prefecture, japan. | hepatitis e virus (hev) is known as a causative agent of zoonosis and food poisoning. pigs and some species of wild animals, including wild boar, are known to be a reservoir of hev. in this study, we investigated the situation regarding hev infection in wild boars in ibaraki prefecture, japan. serum, liver and feces samples from 68 animals were collected, and the presence or absence of hev genomic rna and hev antibodies were analyzed. the viral genome was detected in samples from 7 (10.3%) anima ... | 2016 | 26234737 |
| serological survey of arthropod-borne viruses among wild boars in japan. | a total of 90 blood samples were collected from wild boars in the kyushu region of japan, and a seroepidemiological survey for 7 arthropod-borne viruses was performed using hemagglutination inhibition tests. the individual seropositive rates for each virus were 52.2% for japanese encephalitis virus (jev), 47.8% for getah virus (getv), 13.3% for akabane virus, 10.0% for aino virus and less than 5% for bluetongue virus, chuzan virus and ibaraki virus. the results indicated that among the 7 viruses ... | 2009 | 19721358 |
| outbreaks of swine vesicular disease in japan: virus isolation and epizootiological survey. | outbreaks of a vesicular disease occurred among pigs in kanagawa and ibaraki prefectures in japan in november, 1973. another outbreak was observed in aichi prefecture in december. the clinical signs of the disease observed included fever and vesicular lesions on the coronary bands, bulbs of the heel and in the interdigital spaces. in some pigs, vesicular lesions were observed on the snout, tongue and skin overlying the legs and abdomen. all the vesicular samples produced cytopathic changes on cu ... | 1975 | 174009 |
