| serosurvey for selected virus infections of wild carnivores in taiwan and vietnam. | serum samples from two leopard cats (felis bengalensis) and four formosan gem-faced civets (paguma larvata taivana) in taiwan, september 1995, and nine leopard cats in vietnam, august and december 1997, were examined for the prevalence of antibodies against feline parvovirus, feline herpesvirus type 1, feline calicivirus and feline immunodeficiency virus. all civets and nine of 11 leopard cats were shown to have antibodies against feline parvovirus (fpv), and fpv's were isolated from mononuclear ... | 1999 | 10479095 |
| cytochrome b gene for species identification of the conservation animals. | a partial dna sequence of cytochrome b gene was used to identify the remains of endangered animals and species endemic to taiwan. the conservation of animals species included in this study were: the formosan gem-faced civets, leopard cats, tigers, clouded leopards, lion, formosan muntjacs, formosan sika deers, formosan sambars, formosan serows, water buffalo, formosan pangolins and formosan macaques. the control species used included domestic cats, domestic dogs, domestic sheeps, domestic cattle ... | 2001 | 11587860 |
| late infantile metachromatic leukodystrophy: clinical manifestations of five taiwanese patients and genetic features in asia. | this study was conducted to describe the clinical and genetic features of patients with late infantile metachromatic leukodystrophy. | 2015 | 26553228 |
| species detection and identification in sexual organisms using population genetic theory and dna sequences. | phylogenetic trees of dna sequences of a group of specimens may include clades of two kinds: those produced by stochastic processes (random genetic drift) within a species, and clades that represent different species. the ratio of the mean pairwise sequence difference between a pair of clades (k) to the mean pairwise sequence difference within a clade (θ) can be used to determine whether the clades are samples from different species (k/θ ≥ 4) or the same species (k/θ<4) with probability ≥ 0.95. ... | 2013 | 23308113 |
| ptpn11 mutations in leopard syndrome: report of four cases in taiwan. | leopard syndrome (ls) is a rare, autosomal dominant disorder. the typical clinical presentation includes multiple lentigines and cardiac defects. mutation analysis of the ptpn11 gene is feasible. we report four cases of ls, which were confirmed by molecular genetic study. | 2009 | 19864201 |
| predominance of canine parvovirus (cpv) in unvaccinated cat populations and emergence of new antigenic types of cpvs in cats. | serological, sequence, and in vitro host range analyses of feline parvovirus (fpv) isolates in vietnam and taiwan revealed that more than 80% of the isolates were of the canine parvovirus (cpv) type, rather than feline panleukopenia virus (fplv). although parvovirus isolates from three vietnamese leopard cats were genetically related to cpv type 2a or 2b, they had a natural mutation of vp2 residue 300 gly to an asp, resulting in remarkable changes in their antigenic properties. these results ind ... | 2000 | 11112475 |
