(sal), campylobacter jejuni (cj), campylobacter coli (cc), yersinia enterocolitica (ye), and clostridium perfringens (cp) from april 1984 to march 1985. a total of 205 isolates of sal (112 strains), cj (64 strains), cc (one strain), ye (7 strains) and cp (21 strains) were recovered from 17 beef (14.2%), 31 pork (25.8 ... | 1987 | 2887078 |
| a serological survey of encephalomyocarditis virus infection in pigs in japan. | a total of 1502 pig sera collected between 1990 and 1991 at 65 farms in 22 prefectures were subjected to neutralization test to encephalomyocarditis (emc) virus. of them, three hundred eighty seven pigs (25.8%) from the 55 farms (84.6%) had antibody against emc virus. the positive rates were rather high in ehime (53.1%), tottori (49.1%), shimane (44.4%) and nagasaki (38.7%). the positive rate and geometric mean titer of antibody tended to increase with the age. these serological results suggest ... | 1993 | 8384893 |
| new zoonotic cases of onchocerca dewittei japonica (nematoda: onchocercidae) in honshu, japan. | zoonotic infections with onchocerca species are uncommon, and to date only 25 clinical cases have been reported worldwide. in japan, five previous zoonotic infections were concentrated in oita, kyushu (the southern island), with one previous case in hiroshima in the western part of honshu (the main island). the causative agent in japan was identified as onchocerca dewittei japonica uni, bain & takaoka, 2001 from japanese wild boars (sus scrofa leucomystax temminck, 1842). here we report two infe ... | 2015 | 25623081 |
| detection of rickettsia tamurae dna in ticks and wild boar (sus scrofa leucomystax) skins in shimane prefecture, japan. | we used 24 wild boars trapped from december 2009 to january 2010 and a further 65 from july 2010 to august 2010 in misato town, shimane prefecture, japan. we collected blood, spleens, skins and ticks from the wild boars, which were examined for rickettsial infections using polymerase chain reaction (pcr) primers for the genes rickettsial 17-kda antigen and citrate synthase (glta). we amplified rickettsia tamurae at-1 dna from the tick amblyomma testudinarium and from wild boar skins where ticks ... | 2013 | 23075922 |
| streptococcus r (streptococcus suis type ii) infection in pigs in japan. | since the first outbreak of an epizootic disease on a pig farm in shimane prefecture in 1979, similar diseases have occurred continually on other 8 pig farms in the same prefecture until 1982. main clinical symptoms of the disease were recumbency, convulsion, anorexia and paddling. the diseased pigs ranged mostly from 35 to 67 days of age. monthly fatality on one pig farm for 1 year was 0.2 to 3.6%. morbidities in affected litters were mostly at a level of 20 to 30% on 7 pig farms. the diseases ... | 1983 | 6680774 |
