| present status of trichinellosis in japan. | there have been three mass outbreaks of human trichinellosis in japan. the first was in 1974 in iwasaki, aomori prefecture, involving a group of hunters who ate raw meat of a black bear they had shot. of the 20 people who ate the bear meat raw, 15 showed clinical symptoms of trichinellosis. the second outbreak was experienced in sapporo, hokkaido, in 1980. the patients had eaten the raw meat of a brown bear served in a local restaurant. twelve people were diagnosed positive on the basis of clini ... | 1991 | 1822910 |
| 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 |
| incidence of canine babesia gibsoni infection and subclinical infection among tosa dogs in aomori prefecture, japan. | to identify the incidence of babesia gibsoni (b. gibsoni) in aomori prefecture, northeastern japan, dogs with acute b. gibsoni infection were investigated at the animal teaching hospital, kitasato university, between april 2002 and march 2003. eighteen dogs with acute b. gibsoni infection were recognized; they were all male dogs of the fighting dog breed tosa. their platelet counts were below normal and their packed cell volumes (pcvs) were at various levels. we collected blood samples from 141 ... | 2004 | 15353837 |
| epidemiological survey of babesia gibsoni infection in dogs in eastern japan. | to determine the distribution of babesia gibsoni infection in dogs in the eastern part of japan, an epidemiological survey of dogs suspected of having b. gibsoni infection was attempted using the polymerase chain reaction (pcr) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa). thirty-five of 115 such dogs (30.4%) were positive by pcr and/or elisa. the 35 positive dogs consisted of 28 tosa dogs, 4 american pit bull terriers, and 3 mongrel dogs in aomori, fukushima, ibaraki, gunma, chiba, tokyo, kana ... | 2005 | 15942130 |
| potential sources of sporadic human infection with yersinia enterocolitica serovar o:8 in aomori prefecture, japan. | in november 1992 and june and august 1993 rectal contents from 204 small mammals living in the wild were collected and examined for the presence of yersinia enterocolitica serovar o:8 to clarify the source of human infections caused by this microbe in the tsugaru region of aomori prefecture, japan. serovar o:8 was isolated from 10 (5.2%) of 193 wild rodents trapped in june 1993 (9 of 107) and august 1993 (1 of 23) but not from animals trapped in november 1992 (0 of 63). this serovar was not isol ... | 1995 | 7615736 |
| detection of anaplasma bovis dna in the peripheral blood of domestic dogs in japan. | the prevalence of ehrlichia and anaplasma in 1,427 dogs from 32 japanese prefectures was evaluated by pcr and dna nucleotide sequencing. pcr screening demonstrated that 18 dogs (1.3%) were positive for anaplasmataceae. sequence analysis revealed that 14 of the amplicons were most closely related to wolbachia spp., symbionts of dirofilaria immitis, whereas three were identified as anaplasma bovis. the remaining amplicon could not be sequenced. almost the entire sequence of 16s rrna (1,452 bp) fro ... | 2010 | 20859003 |
| prevalence of giardia intestinalis and other zoonotic intestinal parasites in private household dogs of the hachinohe area in aomori prefecture, japan in 1997, 2002 and 2007. | an epidemiological study on canine intestinal parasites was undertaken to evaluate changes in the prevalence among private household dogs from the hachinohe region of aomori prefecture, japan, in 1997, 2002 and 2007, using the formalin-ethyl acetate sedimentation technique. the risk of zoonotic transmission from household dogs to humans was also discussed. all intestinal parasites detected in the present study (giardia intestinalis, isospora spp., toxocara canis, ancylostoma caninum, trichuris v ... | 2009 | 19934595 |
