| a survey for yersinia pseudotuberculosis in migratory birds in coastal japan. | yersinia pseudotuberculosis was isolated from three specimens of two species of birds, the black-faced bunting (emberiza spodocephala) and pied wagtail (motacilla alba), of 528 specimens of birds examined from coastal regions in japan. the two isolated strains of y. pseudotuberculosis were identified as serovar 4b and serovar 3. this is the first isolation of y. pseudotuberculosis from birds in japan. yersinia enterocolitica was isolated from three specimens of the pied wagtail, one specimen of ... | 1989 | 2761013 |
| [patterns of bird nocturnal migration at shenyang taoxian international airport, northeast china]. | the high frequency of bird strikes at night during the migration season is a remarkable characteristic of bird strikes at airports. understanding the nocturnal migration patterns of birds is important for improving the methods to prevent bird strikes at night. in this study, we combined the methods of mist-net capture and sound recording to examine the composition of bird species and the patterns of nocturnal migration at taoxian airport. we found that 56 species of birds (88.9% of the total) mi ... | 2019 | 30907552 |
| [the genotyping of the west nile virus in birds in the far eastern region of russia in 2002-2004]. | samples from 20 species of trapped and dead birds were collected in the far eastern region in 2002-2004 and were analyzed by the anti-wnv mab-modified immunoenzyme assay for antigen detection and rt-pcr for viral rna detection. five positive samples from cinereous vultures (aegypius monachus) and two positive samples from cattle egret (bubulcus ibis) were found in both tests. the sequencing of the 322 bp fragments of protein e gene showed 99-99.67% homology with the strain wnv/leiv-vlgoo-27924 o ... | 2006 | 17094656 |
| prevalence of lyme disease borrelia spp. in ticks from migratory birds on the japanese mainland. | borrelia sp. prevalence in ticks on migratory birds was surveyed in central japan. in autumn, a total of 1,733 birds representing 40 species were examined for ticks. a total of 361 ticks were obtained from 173 birds of 15 species, and these ticks were immature haemaphysalis flava (94.4%), haemaphysalis longicornis, ixodes columnae, ixodes persulcatus, ixodes turdus, and an unidentified ixodes species. of these, 27 juveniles of h. flava on turdus pallidus, turdus cardis, or emberiza spodocephala, ... | 2000 | 10698761 |
| competence of a migratory bird, red-bellied thrush (turdus chrysolaus), as an avian reservoir for the lyme disease spirochetes in japan. | to evaluate the competence of migratory birds as reservoirs for the lyme disease spirochetes, we examined two species of migrants, red-bellied thrush (turdus chrysolaus) and black-faced bunting (emberiza spodocephala) in nemuro, the northern part of japan. spirochetes were found in four individual birds out of 11 t. chrysolaus, three isolates were detected from the skins and the other one was obtained from the liver. no spirochete was found to be infected in 20 e. spodocephala. as far as we know ... | 1997 | 9140513 |

| mitochondrial genome of the black-faced bunting (emberiza spodocephala). | black-faced bunting (emberiza spodocephala) is a common small songbird with widely geographical range. in this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of the emberiza spodocephala was determined. the study showed that the total length of the mitogenome was 16,796 bp as a circular dna consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 trna genes, 2 rrna genes, and 1 control region (cr). overall base composition of the complete mitochondrial dna was 29.81% a, 23.12% t, 32.51% c, and 14.56% g. the cr is 1215 ... | 2014 | 23631363 |
