serological survey of rhodococcus equi infection in horses in hokkaido.serological survey of rhodococcus equi infection in horses in hokkaido was performed using elisa. of 2,879 horse sera, 318 (11.0%) gave antibody-positive (od greater than or equal to 0.3) reactions. the antibody-positive rate of female was significantly higher (p less than 0.01) than that of male, and no statistical difference between anglo-arab and thoroughbred was detected in the antibody-positive rate. the maximum antibody-positive rate (27.1%) was shown at 14 years of age. the antibody-posit ...19921391174
first incidence of multilocular echinococcosis in a race horse in japan.nodular hepatic lesions caused by larval echinococcus multilocularis were found in a four-year-old female thoroughbred race horse born and raised in hokkaido. before detection of the infection, the infected animal was transported around honshu for racing. the present disclosure of hydatidosis in a race horse raises concern over the potential danger of spreading the infection throughout japan by horses possibly infected in hokkaido.19938286549
antibody responses of japanese horses to influenza viruses in the past few years.a total of 305 horse sera collected in the hidaka district of hokkaido in the years 1988-90 were tested for the presence of hemagglutination-inhibition (hi) antibodies to a/equine/newmarket/1/77 (h7n7), a/equine/tokyo/2/71 (h3n8) and a/equine/kentucky/1/81 (h3n8, kentucky) strains of equine influenza (ei) virus. antibodies to the 3 strains were detected in hardly of the 45 sera from 2-years-old horses which were collected before vaccination. many of the 51 horses, after vaccination with inactiva ...19938461424
seroepidemiological survey of chlamydial infections in light horses in japan.to investigate the overall prevalence of chlamydial infections in light (i.e. non-draught) horses in japan, 599 sera obtained from 12 localities in 1991 were tested for complement fixation antibodies. the mean antibody positive rates of the all sera were 15.2% (91/599) and the regional positive rates were higher in honshu (19.1%, 48/251) and kyushu (20.0%, 20/100) than in hokkaido (9.3%, 23/248). in honshu, the highest rate (56.0%, 28/50) was observed in utsunomiya. analysis of the positive rate ...19938513020
genotyping of isolates of taylorella equigenitalis from thoroughbred brood mares in japan.profiles of the genomic dna of 104 strains of t. equigenitalis isolated from brood mares with contagious equine metritis in hokkaido during the breeding seasons from 1980 to 1993, as well as those of five strains (ss28, eq56, eq59, eq70 and hh139) previously isolated in japan were examined after restriction digestion and crossed-field gel electrophoresis. these profiles were essentially identical to each other and the various isolates and strains appeared to have a common genotype, designated 'g ...19958540238
isolation of streptococcus equi subsp. equi from thoroughbred horses in a racehorse-breeding area of japan.for determination whether strangles has invaded the hidaka district of hokkaido, the main racehorse-breeding area of japan, a epizootiological survey with bacterial isolation was carried out during the breeding season in 1995. streptococcus equi subsp. equi, which is the causative agent of strangles, was isolated from two thoroughbred horses with submandibular lymphadenitis. isolates were identified by serological grouping, biochemical tests and analysis of cell surface proteins by western immun ...19979409520
isolation of tick-borne encephalitis virus from wild rodents and a seroepizootiologic survey in hokkaido, japan.to determine the vertebrate host of tick-borne encephalitis (tbe) virus in the southern part of hokkaido, japan, virus isolation was performed using spleens from small mammals captured in the area. two virus strains were isolated, one strain from apodemus speciosus and another from clethrionomys rufocanus. virus isolates were inoculated onto baby hamster kidney cell monolayers and antigen slides were prepared for an indirect immunofluorescent antibody assay. two isolates were identified as tbe v ...199910072153

isolation of virulent rhodococcus equi from native japanese horses.r. equi was isolated from soil samples obtained from the environment of seven native japanese horse breeds (hokkaido, kiso, noma, misaki, tokara, miyako and yonaguni) and from fecal samples collected from three native horse breeds (hokkaido, kiso and misaki). virulent r. equi at various levels (ranging from 0.5 to 12.9%) was isolated from the feces or soil environment of hokkaido, kiso and misaki horses. isolates were investigated both for the presence of 15- to 17-kda antigens (virulence-associ ...200111247045
nosological study of borna disease virus infection in race horses.to investigate the prevalence of diseases in the borna disease virus (bdv) antibody positive race horses, we undertook seroepidemiological studies of bdv infection on 125 culled race horses in hokkaido, japan. the serological study disclosed the presence of antibodies only to bdv-p40 or -p24 in 19.2% (24/125) and 3.2% (4/125) of culled horses, respectively. antibodies to both bdv-p40 and -p24 were found in 24.0% (30/125) of these horses. of particular note was the finding that locomotorium disor ...200211750144
evaluating river water quality through land use analysis and n budget approaches in livestock farming areas.this study was carried out to evaluate the quality of river water by analysis of land use in drainage basins and by estimating the n budgets. the drainage basins of shibetsu river (shibetsu area) and bekkanbeushi river (akkeshi area) in eastern hokkaido, japan were selected for a case study, and the evaluation of water quality was up-scaled to the regional level in hokkaido by using the arcview/gis and statistical information. water sampling was carried out in august 2001 and may 2002 in the shi ...200415262158
antimicrobial resistance and genetic characteristics of salmonella typhimurium isolated from horses in hokkaido, japan.in this study, we examined the antimicrobial susceptibility of 16 salmonella typhimurium isolates obtained from horses, and applied several genetic methods, namely polymerase chain reaction (pcr) for detecting class 1 integrons, multiplex pcr for detecting multidrug resistant s. typhimurium definitive phage type 104 (mr-dt104), and fluorescent amplified-fragment length polymorphism (faflp). seven isolates with an ampicillin, chloramphenicol, streptomycin, sulfonamide, and tetracycline (acssut) t ...200919721370
