| first detection and molecular identification of the zoonotic anaplasma capra in deer in france. | cervids are known to be reservoirs of zoonotic bacteria transmitted by ticks. this study aimed to identify the anaplasma species carried by captive red deer and swamp deer in a wild fauna reserve in france. blood from 59 red deer and 7 swamp deer was collected and analyzed over a period of two years. a semi-nested pcr targeting the 23s rrna was performed to detect and characterize anaplasma spp. and determine the presence of zoonotic species. anaplasma phagocytophilum was identified in 14/59 red ... | 2019 | 31276519 |
| messages from the placentae across multiple species: a 50 years exploration. | this review explores eight aspects of placentation in multiple mammalian. 1) specialities of gestational trophoblastic disease. 2) clinical significance of single umbilical artery (sua) syndrome. 3) pulmonary trophoblast embolism in pregnant chinchillas and dic in pregnant giant panda. 4) genetics status and placental behaviors during japanese serow and related antelopes. 5) specific living style and placentation of the sloth and proboscis monkey. 6) similarities of placental structures between ... | 2019 | 31301865 |
| possible transmission of sarcoptes scabiei between herbivorous japanese serows and omnivorous caniformia in japan: a cryptic transmission and persistence? | two transmission patterns of sarcoptes scabiei in host mammal communities have been reported based on microsatellite-level genetic studies in the last two decades. while one involves restrictions among different host taxa, the other is associated with predator-prey interactions between different host taxa. in contrast to these observations, the present study reports a possible irregular case of transmission of s. scabiei between herbivorous japanese serow and omnivorous caniformia mammals in jap ... | 2019 | 31383002 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
