potential sources of sporadic human infection with yersinia enterocolitica serovar o:8 in aomori prefecture, japan. | in november 1992 and june and august 1993 rectal contents from 204 small mammals living in the wild were collected and examined for the presence of yersinia enterocolitica serovar o:8 to clarify the source of human infections caused by this microbe in the tsugaru region of aomori prefecture, japan. serovar o:8 was isolated from 10 (5.2%) of 193 wild rodents trapped in june 1993 (9 of 107) and august 1993 (1 of 23) but not from animals trapped in november 1992 (0 of 63). this serovar was not isol ... | 1995 | 7615736 |

isolation of pathogenic yersinia enterocolitica 1b/o:8 from apodemus mice in japan. | yersinia enterocolitica was isolated from 15.7% (88/560) of wild rodents captured in 15 prefectures in japan. prevalences by rodent species were 18.0% (70/388) in japanese field mice (apodemus speciosus), 20% (14/71) in small japanese field mice (apodemus argenteus), and 11% (4/38) in gray red-backed vole (myodes rufocanus bedfordiae), suggesting that these rodent species are important reservoirs of y. enterocolitica. although most of the isolates were identified as biotype 1a, the pathogenic bi ... | 2015 | 25380368 |
