| comparison of ehrlichia muris strains isolated from wild mice and ticks and serologic survey of humans and animals with e. muris as antigen. | in metropolitan tokyo, the ehrlichia muris seropositivity rate of 24 wild mice was 63% in hinohara village, but in the surrounding areas, it was 0 to 5%. this finding suggests that the reservoir of e. muris is focal. among the 15 seropositive mice, ehrlichiae were isolated from 9 apodemus speciosus mice and 1 a. argenteus mouse, respectively. five ehrlichial isolates were obtained from 10 ticks (haemaphysalis flava) collected in asuke town, aichi prefecture, where the e. muris type strain had be ... | 1999 | 10074536 |
| population structure of the large japanese field mouse, apodemus speciosus (rodentia: muridae), in suburban landscape, based on mitochondrial d-loop sequences. | genetic structure of the large japanese field mouse populations in suburban landscape of west tokyo, japan was determined using mitochondrial dna control region sequence. samples were collected from six habitats linked by forests and green tract along the tama river, and from two forests segregated by urban areas from those continuous habitats. thirty-five haplotypes were detected in 221 animals. four to eight haplotypes were found within each local population belonging to the continuous landsca ... | 2004 | 15487988 |
