| [current situation and future preventive measures of foot-and-mouth disease in japan]. | foot-and-mouth disease caused by foot-and-mouth disease virus (fmdv) is a severe and acute vesicular disease of cloven-hoofed animals including cattle, pigs, sheep and goats. as fmdv is highly contagious and causes productivity losses among infected animals, outbreaks of the disease are a primary animal health concern worldwide. in april, 2010, the disease reoccurred in miyazaki prefecture in 10 years. compared to the outbreak in 2000 in which no infection among pigs was observed, a total of 292 ... | 2010 | 21488337 |
| an epidemiological analysis of the foot-and-mouth disease epidemic in miyazaki, japan, 2010. | an epidemic of foot-and-mouth disease occurred in miyazaki, japan, beginning in late march 2010. here, we document the descriptive epidemiological features and investigate the between-farm transmission dynamics. as of 10 july 2010, a total of 292 infected premises have been confirmed with a cumulative incidence for cattle and pig herds of 8.5% and 36.4%, respectively, for the whole of miyazaki prefecture. pig herds were more likely to be infected than cattle herds (odds ratio = 4.3 [95% confiden ... | 2010 | 20723164 |
| investigation of reservoir animals of leptospira in the northern part of miyazaki prefecture. | we surveyed reservoir animals of leptospires in the northern part of miyazaki prefecture, where a cluster of human leptospirosis had occurred during the summer of 2006. leptospira was isolated from 6 of 57 large japanese field mice (apodemus speciosus). the serogroups of the isolates were autumnalis (5 strains) and hebdomadis (1 strain) and the partial nucleotide sequences of their flab genes suggested that the isolates belonged to l. interrogans. the human patient sera reacted specifically with ... | 2008 | 19050356 |
| gnathostomiasis in wild boars from japan. | gnathostoma doloresi, a nematode parasite producing ulcerative and/or granulomatous lesions in the gastric wall of domestic pigs and wild boars (sus scrofa leucomystax) throughout southeastern asia, is an important zoonosis causing cutaneous larva migrans in humans. patients infected with g. doloresi have been found yearly in the vicinity of miyazaki prefecture, japan. adult nematodes were found in 31 of 32 wild boars captured at two different geographic locations in the prefecture, a location i ... | 1998 | 9476238 |
| [antigenic types of rickettsia tsutsugamushi isolated from patients with tsutsugamushi fever and their distribution in miyazaki prefecture]. | rickettsia tsutsugamushi (rt) isolated from patients with tsutsugamushi fever were examined for their antigenicity. this was done by indirect immunofluorescence (iif) with guinea pig antisera against three standard strains (karp, kato and gilliam) and two local strains (kawasaki and kuroki) isolated in 1981, and with mouse monoclonal antibodies against the three standard strains. in the meantime, antibodies in sera from 317 out of 442 patients registered during 1985 to 1988 were titrated by iif ... | 1989 | 2501427 |
| large-group infection of boar-hunting dogs with paragonimus westermani in miyazaki prefecture, japan, with special reference to a case of sudden death due to bilateral pneumothorax. | we recently found a group of 5 boar-hunting dogs infected with paragonimus westermani. as wild boars are known to be the potential paratenic hosts for this parasite, boar-hunting dogs have obviously a high risk of infection by this parasite. in the present study, therefore, we investigated 20 dogs of another group kept by a hunter in miyazaki prefecture, japan, in order to determine whether paragonimosis is a common problem among boar-hunting dogs. the results showed that p. westermani eggs were ... | 2009 | 19498295 |
| the fot-and-muth dsease eidemic in japan, 2010. | foot-and-mouth disease (fmd) occurred recently for the first time in a decade in japan. the index case was detected on a beef-breeding farm in miyazaki prefecture, southern japan, on april 20, 2010. after confirmation of this first case, control measures such as stamping out, movement restriction, and disinfection were implemented. however, these strategies proved insufficient to prevent the spread of fmd and emergency vaccination was adopted. up until the last outbreak on july 4, 2010, a total ... | 2011 | 22075710 |
| molecular characterization of an h1n2 swine influenza virus isolated in miyazaki, japan, in 2006. | swine influenza virus (siv) was isolated from a farm in miyazaki prefecture in japan in july 2006. an isolate was genetically subtyped as h1n2 and was designated a/swine/miyazaki/1/2006 (h1n2). the nucleotide sequences of all eight viral rna segments were determined, and then phylogenetic analysis was performed using the neighbor-joining method. all segments were shown to be closely related to those of japanese siv h1n2 isolates, which have been circulating since the 1980s. the results indicate ... | 2008 | 18460842 |
