| helminth survey of wildcats in japan. | two iriomote cats (felis iriomotensis) and 2 tsushima leopard cats (felis bengalensis euptilura) killed probably by traffic accidents were submitted to the helminthological examination. in iriomote cats, 8 species of parasites (spirometra erinacei, toxocara cati, molineus springsmithi, uncinaria maya, capillaria aerophila, c. felis-cati, larvae of an unidentifiable lung worm and one species of acanthocephala) were found. in tsushima leopard cats, 10 species of parasites (pharyngostomum cordatum, ... | 1994 | 7696394 |
| helminths of the tsushima leopard cat (felis bengalensis euptilura). | three tsushima leopard cats (felis bengalensis euptilura) in japan were collected as road kills. three species of trematodes (pharyngostomum cordatum, paragonimus sp. and dicrocoeliidae gn. sp.), one species of cestode (spirometra erinacei) and nine species of nematodes (arthrostoma hunanensis, uncinaria felidis, uncinaria sp., ancylostoma tubaeforme, molineus springsmithi, toxocara cati, capillaria aerophila, capillaria felis-cati, and capillaria sp.) were found. among these helminths, arthrost ... | 1993 | 8445779 |
| genetic diversity in domestic cats felis catus of the tsushima islands, based on mitochondrial dna cytochrome b and control region nucleotide sequences. | nucleotide sequences of mitochondrial dna (mtdna) of 50 domestic cats (felis catus) obtained from the tsushima islands were determined and the genetic diversity was analyzed. in the cats, six haplotypes of the complete cytochrome b sequences (1,140 base-pairs, bp) and ten haplotypes of the partial control region sequences (350 bp) were identified. haplotypes obtained from both genes showed existence of at least 11 maternal lineages of domestic cats in tsushima. mean values of polymorphic site nu ... | 2005 | 15988156 |
| fecal dna analysis for identifying species and sex of sympatric carnivores: a noninvasive method for conservation on the tsushima islands, japan. | fecal analysis is a useful tool for the investigation of food habits and species identity in mammals. however, it is generally difficult to identify the species based on the morphological features and contents of feces deposited by mammals of similar body size. therefore we developed noninvasive dna analysis methods using fecal samples for identification of the species and sex of four small sympatric carnivores living on the tsushima islands of japan: the leopard cat (felis bengalensis), japanes ... | 2005 | 16267168 |
| hepatozoonosis in two species of japanese wild cat. | hepatozoon sp. infections were detected in two species of japanese wild cat, iriomote wild cat (felis iriomotensis) and tsushima leopard cat (felis bengalensis euptilura), between april 1993 and october 2005. the prevalence was 56.7% (17/30) and 14.3% (6/42), respectively. the most affected organ was the heart; all infected animals had organisms in their hearts. the parasitizing form was schizont and various developmental stages were observed. the size of schizont and merozoite was 22.3 +/- 3.1 ... | 2006 | 16953084 |
| risk analysis of feline immunodeficiency virus infection in tsushima leopard cats (prionailurus bengalensis euptilurus) and domestic cats using a geographic information system. | in this study, based on the data from fiv screening surveys of captive cats conducted by the kyushu veterinary union and collaborators as part of the infection control program for tsushima leopard cats (prionailurus bengalensis euptilurus), we elucidated the spatial distribution of fiv-positive individuals among leopard cats and domestic cats using a geographic information system. data from fiv screening surveys carried out among 86 leopard cats (1996-2006) and 713 captive domestic cats (2001-20 ... | 2010 | 20379084 |
