| seroprevalence of toxoplasma gondii in wild boars (sus scrofa leucomystax) and wild sika deer (cervus nippon) in gunma prefecture, japan. | the ingestion of undercooked meat from wild animals can be a source of toxoplasma gondii infection in humans and other animals. in this study, we determined the seroprevalence of t. gondii infection in 175 wild boars (sus scrofa leucomystax) and 107 wild sika deer (cervus nippon) hunted in 2004-2007 in gunma prefecture, japan, by using a commercial latex agglutination test (lat). antibodies (lat, 1:64 or higher) to t. gondii were found in 6.3% of wild boars and 1.9% of sika deer. this is the fir ... | 2011 | 21640197 |
| prevalence of hepatitis e virus (hev) infection in wild boars (sus scrofa leucomystax) and pigs in gunma prefecture, japan. | the prevalence of hepatitis e virus (hev) infection in wild boars and pigs in gunma prefecture, japan, was serologically and genetically examined. the positive detection rates of anti-hev igg and hev rna in the wild boars were 4.5% (4/89) and 1.1% (1/89), whereas those in the pigs were 74.6% (126/169) and 1.8% (3/169), respectively. the positive rates of anti-hev igg and hev rna on the 17 pig farms in the present study ranged from 20% to 100%, respectively. one male wild boar approximately 5 yea ... | 2009 | 19194072 |
| prevalence of atypical mycobacteriosis in slaughtered swine in gunma prefecture and the serovars of the isolates. | atypical mycobacteriosis was detected in 4,919 (0.28%) of 1,776,294 swine slaughtered at the g slaughter house in gunma prefecture during the period 1988-1990. the tuberculous lesions were mainly observed in the submaxillary (64.4%) and mesenteric lymph nodes (29.0%). the enzootic and sporadic infections were detected in 4 and 870 of 1,200 piggeries, respectively. of the 2,076 infected swine detected between september, 1988 and december, 1989, 231 swine were submitted to the isolation of mycobac ... | 1994 | 7948376 |
| [abnormal thyroid gland occurred in a colony of xenopus laevis maintained at gumma university (author's transl)]. | thyroid hypertrophy of unknown cause occurred in a colony of xenopus laevis maintained at the institute of endocrinology, gunma university, maebashi, japan. these animals were kept in small aquaria with well water and fed on minced pig liver. an etiologic investigation was made on the thyroid abnormality by assessing its occurrence and histopathologic features and rearing conditions of the animals in comparison with those of the colonies at tokyo and sendai. 1) the occurrence of abnormal thyroid ... | 1981 | 7318945 |

| 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 |
| serological survey of leptospirosis in sows with premature birth and stillbirth in chiba and gunma prefectures of japan. | in 1996 and 1997, the seroprevalence against leptospira in parturient sows with premature birth or stillbirth from two herds was investigated. in three out of four sow serum samples obtained in gunma prefecture, the antibody titers to leptospira interrogans serovar copenhageni (m20) were higher than 10,000 (the reciprocal of the serum dilution). furthermore, the antibody titers to l. interrogans serovar canicola (hond utrecht iv) were significantly high in the three sows and the titers ranged fr ... | 2002 | 12237523 |
