| occurrence of yersinia enterocolitica in the tokyo tama zoo. | yersinia enterocolitica serogroups o5a and o8 were isolated from fecal samples of one colony of japanese macaques (macaca fuscata) from the tokyo tama zoo (japan). serogroup o5a was detected in brown bear (ursus arctos) prior to the isolation from the macaques. serogroup o5a organisms also were isolated from the japanese macaques' breeding area. serogroup o5a and o8 isolates were not pathogenic. serogroup o8 isolates did not possess the o7 or o19 antigens. | 1989 | 2716113 |
| [characteristics of the shigella flexneri strains isolated from japanese monkeys (macaca fuscata)]. | shigella flexneri was isolated from 11 of 95 japanese monkeys (macaca fuscata) purchased by the animal research center, tokyo medical and dental university, during the period from 1988 through 1990. the serotypes of the isolates were 4a (5 isolates), 2a (4 isolates), 2b (1 isolate), and vary (1 isolate). although some of the strains in the same serotypes were similar, others were different in their antibiotic susceptibility patterns or the plasmid profiles. our results suggested that various typ ... | 1993 | 8336006 |

| effects of seasonal changes in dietary energy on body weight of captive japanese macaques (macaca fuscata). | food availability varies seasonally for wild animals, and body weight fluctuates accordingly in the wild. in contrast, controlling availability of diet under captive condition is difficult from keepers' standpoint, and monotonous diet often causes health problems in captive animals. we evaluated the effects of a seasonally controlled diet on body weight of captive japanese macaques (macaca fuscata) in an outside enclosure at ueno zoo, tokyo, japan. we fed a high-energy diet in spring and fall, a ... | 2015 | 25823966 |
| distribution of wild mammal assemblages along an urban-rural-forest landscape gradient in warm-temperate east asia. | urbanization may alter mammal assemblages via habitat loss, food subsidies, and other factors related to human activities. the general distribution patterns of wild mammal assemblages along urban-rural-forest landscape gradients have not been studied, although many studies have focused on a single species or taxon, such as rodents. we quantitatively evaluated the effects of the urban-rural-forest gradient and spatial scale on the distributions of large and mid-sized mammals in the world's larges ... | 2013 | 23741495 |
