geographical variation of mandible size and shape in the japanese wild pig (sus scrofa leucomystax).	the mandibles of the japanese wild pigs (sus scrofa leucomystax) from various geographical locations, which have been stored in the university of tokyo and national science museum, tokyo were examined. the mandibles from northern localities were larger in size than those from southern localities. the oita population was significantly smaller than the honshu populations. the mie population was smaller than the hyogo population in length from the angle of the mandible. in the multivariate analysis ...	2000	10993177
identification of european-type hepatitis e virus subtype 3e isolates in japanese wild boars: molecular tracing of hev from swine to wild boars.	nucleotide sequences of hepatitis e virus (hev) isolates infecting wild boars in mie prefecture, which is located in the central region of japan and is far from the most prevalent regions of hev infection in japan, were determined and characterised. among 144 serum samples of wild boars captured in mie prefecture, 7 were positive for hev-rna. the nucleotide sequence of nearly the entire genome was determined for 4 of the 7 positive samples. phylogenetic tree analyses indicated that 6 samples wer ...	2013	23770142
