| epidemiological survey of babesia species in japan performed with specimens from ticks collected from dogs and detection of new babesia dna closely related to babesia odocoilei and babesia divergens dna. | detection and analysis of babesia species from ticks recovered from dogs in japan were attempted by pcr and nucleotide sequence analysis based on the 18s rrna gene, respectively. a total of 1136 ticks were examined for babesia dna by 18s rrna-based pcr and nucleotide sequencing. partial sequences of babesia canis vogeli dna were detected from six ticks in aomori, nara, hiroshima, oita, and okinawa prefectures; and babesia gibsoni asia-1 dna was also detected in four ticks in osaka, hiroshima, mi ... | 2003 | 12904344 |
| epidemiological survey of anaplasma platys and ehrlichia canis using ticks collected from dogs in japan. | detection of anaplasma platys and ehrlichia canis in ticks recovered from dogs in japan was attempted using a species-specific nested pcr based on the 16s rrna gene. a total of 1211 ticks recovered from 1211 dogs from all over japan were examined for a. platys and e. canis. four tick samples from fukushima, miyazaki and kagoshima prefectures recovered from four different dogs showed a positive reaction for a. platys. although the four dogs did not show any clinical signs and no blood examination ... | 2003 | 12944048 |
| infection of a group of boar-hunting dogs with paragonimus westermani in miyazaki prefecture, japan. | a 5-year-old male mixed-bred boar-hunting dog with a plott hound background weighing 23 kg was brought to the veterinary teaching hospital, university of miyazaki, in october 2002. the dog was diagnosed with active infection with the lung fluke paragonimus westermani by serological testing and also by detection of parasite eggs in his feces. subsequent examination of four other dogs working with this dog as a boar-hunting team revealed that all five dogs were infected with p. westermani. | 2008 | 18976862 |
| investigation of reservoir animals of leptospira in the northern part of miyazaki prefecture. | we surveyed reservoir animals of leptospires in the northern part of miyazaki prefecture, where a cluster of human leptospirosis had occurred during the summer of 2006. leptospira was isolated from 6 of 57 large japanese field mice (apodemus speciosus). the serogroups of the isolates were autumnalis (5 strains) and hebdomadis (1 strain) and the partial nucleotide sequences of their flab genes suggested that the isolates belonged to l. interrogans. the human patient sera reacted specifically with ... | 2008 | 19050356 |
| comparison of partial ribosomal dna sequences of babesia gibsoni occurring in miyazaki prefecture, japan. | nucleotide sequences of ribosomal dna (rdna) of babesia (b.) gibsoni occurring in miyazaki, western japan, were examined using blood samples obtained from seven dogs suffering from natural canine babesiosis. dna isolated from these blood samples was subjected to the polymerase chain reaction (pcr). the nucleotide sequences of the pcr products were determined and compared with other rdna sequences of b. gibsoni isolated from asia, europe and u.s.a. although homology values between our isolates an ... | 2001 | 11411504 |
| tumors in domestic animals examined during a ten-year period (1980 to 1989) at miyazaki university. | during the ten years from 1980 to 1989 inclusive, a total of 468 (16.1%) tumors were found in 2,907 pathological samples from domestic animals, collected from southern kyushu, around miyazaki city. in this study, canine tumors were collected most commonly (340/468 cases, 73%). in small animals, the skin and mammary gland were associated particularly with tumorigenetic hazards. in cattle, high incidence of leukemia and mesothelioma was found. these tendencies were almost the same as those we repo ... | 1994 | 8075237 |
| large-group infection of boar-hunting dogs with paragonimus westermani in miyazaki prefecture, japan, with special reference to a case of sudden death due to bilateral pneumothorax. | we recently found a group of 5 boar-hunting dogs infected with paragonimus westermani. as wild boars are known to be the potential paratenic hosts for this parasite, boar-hunting dogs have obviously a high risk of infection by this parasite. in the present study, therefore, we investigated 20 dogs of another group kept by a hunter in miyazaki prefecture, japan, in order to determine whether paragonimosis is a common problem among boar-hunting dogs. the results showed that p. westermani eggs were ... | 2009 | 19498295 |
