| a histometrical study on the long bones of raccoon dogs, nyctereutes procyonoides and badgers, meles meles. | to obtain the data required for identification of skeletal remains excavated from archaeological sites, histometrical observations were made in the cross sections of the mid-shaft of humerus, radius, femur and tibia of raccoon dogs (nyctereutes procyonoides) and badgers (meles meles) captured in kagoshima prefecture. there were interspecific differences between both animals in the breadth, the depth and the area of medullary cavity at the mid-shaft of the bones, all measurements were greater in ... | 1998 | 9560780 |
| juvenile bird acanthocephalans recovered incidentally from raccoon dogs (nyctereutes procyonoides viverrinus) on yakushima island, japan. | helminth parasites were collected from 14 raccoon dogs (nyctereutes procyonoides viverrinus) and 2 japanese weasels (mustela itatsi sho) on yakushima island, kagoshima prefecture (kyushu), japan. in addition to trematodes and nematodes reported separately, everted cystacanths of 3 bird acanthocephalans (mediorhynchus robustus in 5 animals, porrorchis leibyi in 2 animals, and sphaerirostris lanceoides in 1 animal) were collected from the raccoon dogs introduced recently on this world natural heri ... | 2006 | 16891781 |
| nematodes from raccoon dogs (nyctereutes procyonoides viverrinus) introduced recently on yakushima island, japan. | nematodes were collected from 14 raccoon dogs (nyctereutes procyonoides viverrinus) on yakushima island, kagoshima prefecture (kyushu), japan, that were the progeny of recently introduced animals to this world natural heritage area, probably within the last 2 decades. seven nematode species (toxocara tanuki, ancylostoma kusimaense, arthrostoma miyazakiense, strongyloides planiceps, trichuris vulpis, gongylonema sp., and dirofilaria immitis) were collected from the raccoon dogs. two nematode spec ... | 2006 | 16891782 |
| detection and molecular characterization of babesia, theileria, and hepatozoon species in hard ticks collected from kagoshima, the southern region in japan. | to reveal the distribution of tick-borne parasites, we established a novel nested polymerase chain reaction (pcr) system to detect the most common agents of tick-borne parasitic diseases, namely babesia, theileria, and hepatozoon parasites. we collected host-seeking or animal-feeding ticks in kagoshima prefecture, the southernmost region of kyusyu island in southwestern japan. twenty of the total of 776 tick samples displayed a specific band of the appropriate size (approximately 1.4-1.6kbp) for ... | 2017 | 28501503 |
| morphology and morphometry of skulls of raccoon dogs, nyctereutes procyonoides and badgers, meles meles. | in order to obtain the basic data to identify the skeletal remains from the archaeological sites, morphological and morphometrical studies were carried out on skulls of living raccoon dogs (35 males and 45 females) and badgers (16 males and 8 females) from kagoshima prefecture. macroscopically, the sexual differences were observed in badgers for the parts of the zygomatic process of the temporal bone and the occipital squama, but were not in raccoon dogs. among 24 cranial measurements, significa ... | 1998 | 9524938 |
