| molecular and biological characterization of vascular endothelial growth factor of parapoxviruses isolated from wild japanese serows (capricornis crispus). | contagious dermatitis in domestic and wild ruminants caused by parapoxvirus (ppv) occurs worldwide. although ppv infections appear in cattle, sheep and goats, the papular, nodular, pustular and ulcerated skin lesions of wild japanese serows (capricornis crispus) are significantly more severe than those of other animals. to determine the factors involved in the severity of these skin lesions, we compared the molecular characteristics of 4 ppv isolates from japanese serows and 2 isolates from shee ... | 2010 | 19716664 |
| tooth size variability and relevance of numerical variation in the japanese serow. | we analysed the variability of the lower cheek teeth of the japanese serow, capricornis crispus, from aichi prefecture, japan, based on the coefficient of variation (cv), and examined tooth size variability. the mesiodistal (md) and buccolingual (bl) crown diameters of permanent cheek teeth were measured, and an index of the crown surface (mdxbl) was calculated. as a result, the cv for md measurements ranged from 3.6 to 6.3, and that for bl measurements ranged from 3.6 to 6.5. in males and femal ... | 2008 | 17920033 |
| genetic heterogeneity among parapoxviruses isolated from sheep, cattle and japanese serows (capricornis crispus). | standard strains of four parapoxviruses and seven unclassified japanese strains isolated from sheep, cattle and wild japanese serows (capricornis crispus) were compared molecularly. restriction fragment length polymorphism (rflp) analysis of viral dna, indirect immunofluorescence assays using monoclonal antibodies, partial nucleotide sequencing of the envelope gene, phylogenetic analysis and pcr-rflp were carried out. these analyses revealed that the parapoxviruses were divided into four groups ... | 2001 | 11297696 |

| the lumbosacral plexus of the japanese serows, capricornis crispus. | the lumbosacral plexus of the japanese serow was grossly investigated on 30 fresh specimens. 28 of 30 showed 6 lumbar vertebrae and 2 of the remaining had 5. the communicating pattern among segmental origins from l3 to s5 revealed a variability of the plexus in both types of 5 and 6 lumbar vertebrae. the ratio of prefixed, median fixed and postfixed plexuses in 6 lumbar vertebral type was nearly 2:6:1. the serow's plexus was basically similar to that of domestic ruminants. | 1987 | 3425938 |
| genetic variation and phylogenetic relationship between three serow species of the genus capricornis based on the complete mitochondrial dna control region sequences. | the molecular evidence of phylogenetic status regarding the formosan serow (capricornis swinhoei) is not robust and little is known about the genetic diversity of the sumatran serow (capricornis sumatraensis), which partly is due to the hardness in sample collection. here we determined the sequences of the complete mitochondrial dna control region (1,014 bp) of 19 sumatran-serow individuals. nine new haplotypes were defined based on 78 variable sites. combined analysis with other 32 haplotypes d ... | 2013 | 24057256 |
| molecular genetic conspecificity of spiculopteragia houdemeri (schwartz, 1926) and s. andreevae (dróżdż, 1965) (nematoda: ostertagiinae) from wild ruminants in japan. | male dimorphism of the subfamily ostertagiinae (nematoda: trichostrongylidae) is a well-known phenomenon, and two or more morphotypes of a single species have previously been described as different species. two spiculopteragia spp., s. houdemeri (syn. s. yamashitai) and s. andreevae (syn. rinadia andreevae) recorded in asian cervids and wild bovids, are considered to represent major and minor morphs of s. houdemeri, respectively, based solely on their co-occurrence in the same host individual al ... | 2014 | 23168162 |
| infraorbital glands of a male formosan serow (capricornis crispus swinhoei). | the morphology of the infraorbital glands of a male formosan serow was examined. the glands consisted of an inner sebaceous portion and an outer apocrine portion. the inner sebaceous portion was much larger than that of the male japanese serow. the sebaceous portion of the gland consisted of the ordinary and modified types of tissue that are present in the infraorbital gland of the female japanese serow, and the modified tissue contained some melanin granules and melanocytes. the apocrine portio ... | 1996 | 9090995 |

| an historical overview of selected rare ruminants in captivity. | in assessing the situation revealed by the survey, we concluded that in general when sufficient numbers of founders were available and attention paid to the animals general and specific needs, including preventative medicine, the captive populations have done reasonably well. is is obvious that some small groups, such as the small african antelope and the duikers, need highly specialised care and there is a great deal of work still to be done on their husbandry. the mountain or alpine species ha ... | 1986 | 32336816 |
| myoepithelial cells and innervation in the infraorbital gland of the japanese serow (capricornis crispus). | both the apocrine and the sebaceous portions of the infraorbital gland of the japanese serow were examined to obtain morphological evidence related to the mechanism of secretion. the examination was carried out by an immunohistochemical method using antibodies against alpha-smooth muscle actin for myoepithelial cells and protein gene product 9.5 for nerve fibers. immunostaining for alpha-smooth muscle actin was apparent in the myoepithelial cells of apocrine tubules and varied within the same gl ... | 1995 | 8534577 |

| genetic variability of 3'-proximal region of genomes of orf viruses isolated from sheep and wild japanese serows (capricornis crispus) in japan. | orf virus is a prototype species of the genus parapoxvirus, subfamily chordopoxvirinae, family poxviridae. japanese orf viruses, infecting sheep and wild japanese serows (capricornis crispus), have been considered to be genetically closely related based on the sequence identities of the open reading frames (orfs) 11, 20, and 132 in their genomes. however, since the genome size of orf viruses is about 140 kbp long, genetic variation among japanese orf viruses remains unclear. in this study, we an ... | 2020 | 32391386 |
| effects of the physical and social environment on flight response and habitat use in a solitary ungulate, the japanese serow (capricornis crispus). | observations of the flight response of ungulates are commonly used to test behavioral responses to predation risk. in gregarious ungulates with sexual body-size dimorphism such responses are likely to be stronger in situations where individuals have perceptions of less security as well as among more-sensitive individuals, such as female groups or female groups with offspring which are understood to use safety habitats more often than males do. however, little is known about these behaviors in so ... | 2019 | 30585168 |
