seroprevalence of bartonella henselae and toxoplasma gondii infections among pet cats in kanagawa and saitama prefectures.seroprevalence of bartonella henselae and toxoplasma gondii was investigated among 471 pet cats obtained from seven private animal hospitals in kanagawa and saitama prefectures during the period from may 1994 to june 1995. 'furthermore, 67 randomly selected from the 471 serum samples were examined for the feline immunodeficiency virus (fiv) antibody and feline leukemia virus (felv) antigen. the antibody to b. henselae was examined by an indirect immunofluorescent antibody test. t. gondii, fiv an ...19989795899

hair mercury concentrations in cats and dogs in central japan.hair mercury concentrations were measured in 41 cats and 34 dogs living in kanagawa, saitama and tokyo prefectures. total mercury concentrations measured by atomic absorption spectrometry were significantly higher (p < 0.01) in cats [7.40 parts per million (ppm) in males and 7.45 ppm in females] than in dogs (0.99 ppm in males and 0.66 ppm in females). mercury in cat hair was correlated with age (p < 0.01) and higher in cats fed with foods prepared by the owners than in those fed with commercial ...19958920117
prevalence of feline viral antibodies in random-source laboratory cats.over a period of 1973 to 1979, a serologic survey of virus infections was conducted on feline sera collected in four universities which located in different prefectures; obihiro, saitama, kanagawa and tokyo. a significant hemagglutination-inhibition (hi) antibody titer of 1 : 8 or higher to feline panleukopenia virus (fplv) was detected in 130 (58%) of the 226 sera used. no remarkable difference in the hi antibody prevalence in cats to fplv was recognized by years or localities. of a total of 18 ...19816274676
