| eimerians from different karyotypes of the japanese wood mouse (apodemus spp.), with descriptions of two new species and a redescription of eimeria montgomeryae lewis and ball, 1983. | examination of 131 wood mice (apodemus spp.) representing 2 species and 6 subspecies collected from the japanese islands of hokkaido, honshu, kyushu, and tsushima showed that 70 mice (53%) had coccidian oocysts in their feces. these included 21 of 42 (50%) apodemus argenteus argenteus; 7 of 14 (50%) apodemus argenteus hokkaidi; 2 of 3 (67%) apodemus argenteus sagax; 3 of 9 (33%) apodemus speciosus ainu; 36 of 61 (59%) apodemus speciosus speciosus; and 1 of 2 (50%) apodemus speciosus tusimaensis. ... | 1985 | 4093813 |
| 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 |
| a trend of central versus peripheral structuring in mitochondrial and nuclear gene sequences of the japanese wood mouse, apodemus speciosus. | a phylogeographic analysis was performed on japanese endemic wood mice (apodemus speciosus) using nuclear interphotoreceptor retinol binding protein (irbp) gene sequences (1,152 bp), together with previously published mitochondrial cytochrome b (cyt b) data. in the irbp analysis, 40 haplotypes were recovered from 84 individuals by statistical and subcloning methods. substantial sequence variation was determined from the irbp data (pi=0.0047), and no significant evidence of recombination was dete ... | 2008 | 18393564 |
