| the time-dependent transfer factor of radiocesium from soil to game animals in japan after the fukushima dai-ichi nuclear accident. | since the fukushima dai-ichi accident, monitoring of tissues from hunted game animals ensures compliance with the standard food limits for radionuclides in japan. we quantified the transfer of (137)cs from contaminated land to game animals using the aggregated transfer factor (tag = activity concentration in meat [bq kg(-1) fw]/amount in soil [bq m(-2)]) of (137)cs for asian black bear, wild boar, sika deer, green pheasant, copper pheasant and wild duck, collected between 2011 and 2015. open dat ... | 2016 | 27513196 |
| influenza a virus infection in japanese wild boars (sus scrofa leucomystax). | serum samples were collected from 385 wild boars between 2010 and 2013 to examine the seroprevalence of influenza a virus (iav) in japan. antibodies against iav were identified using a commercial kit in 13 wild boars (3.4%). to identify the serotypes, positive sera were examined by virus-neutralization test using representative serotypes and strains. three wild boars in yamaguchi and four in tochigi showed the highest antibody titers against the pandemic h1n1 2009 virus and classical swine h1n1 ... | 2017 | 28321029 |
| occurrence of a pig respiratory disease associated with swine influenza a (h1n2) virus in tochigi prefecture, japan. | in february 2008, a feeder pig herd of the affected farm in tochigi prefecture, japan, showed increasing respiratory symptoms; by april, the situation worsened with 12-16 pigs dying daily. diagnostic tests revealed the presence of h1n2 subtype of swine influenza virus (siv) and pasteurella multocida from nasal swab and lung emulsion. serological tests by hemagglutination inhibition method and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method (elisa; imported from u.s.a.) indicated the spread of siv into ... | 2010 | 20035121 |
| virological and serological studies of porcine respiratory coronavirus infection on a japanese farm. | we detected transmissible gastroenteritis virus (tgev) antibodies in pig farms in tochigi prefecture, although the farms had no past record of tgev vaccination or tge. among the farms, farm a showed a high antibody incidence. we could not confirm if either tgev or porcine respiratory coronavirus (prcv) induced the antibodies, since conventional tests failed to discriminate prcv from tgev. therefore, we conducted virological and serological examinations of this farm for 4 years to establish the e ... | 2008 | 18840967 |

| [incidence and serotypes of salmonella in apparently healthy swine at slaughterhouses in japan: 1975-1989]. | to find healthy salmonella carriers among swine, isolation of salmonella from fresh cecum samples was attempted at slaughterhouses in tokyo, saitama, and tochigi during a period of 11 years. of a total 3,058 samples, 1,341 were collected between 1975 and 1979, and the other 1,717 between 1984 and 1989. the overall isolation rate of salmonella was 13.3% (408 pigs). the rate was 23.1% between 1975 and 1979 and 5.7% between 1984 and 1989. a total of 1,037 isolates were identified as salmonella and ... | 1995 | 7623420 |
