| serological evidence of coxiella burnetii infection in wild animals in japan. | one hundred and thirty-four (26%) of 511 sera from 11 wild animal species in eight prefectures in japan had antibody titers to coxiella burnetii by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. high prevalences were observed in japanese black bears (ursus thibetanus) (78%), hokkaido deer (cervus nippon yesoensis) (69%), japanese hares (lepus brachyurus) (63%), japanese deer (cervus nippon centralis) (56%), and to some extent in japanese monkeys (macaca fuscata) (28%). a low prevalence (13%) was observe ... | 1993 | 8355353 |
| use of protein ag in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for screening for antibodies against parapoxvirus in wild animals in japan. | using protein ag in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa), we tried to detect antibodies against parapoxvirus in 9 species of wild animals in japan: the japanese badger (meles meles anakuma), japanese black bear (ursus thibetanus japonicus), japanese deer (cervus nippon centralis), japanese monkey (macaca fuscata), japanese raccoon dog (nyctereutes procyonoides viverrinus), japanese serow (capricornis crispus), japanese wild boar (sus scrofa leucomystax), masked palm civet (paguma larvata ... | 1999 | 10225841 |
| serological survey of parapoxvirus infection in wild ruminants in japan in 1996-9. | the prevalence of parapoxvirus infection was examined in free-ranging wild ruminants in japan, japanese serow (capricornis crispus) and japanese deer (cervus nippon centralis), in 1996-9. we collected a total of 151 serum samples from 101 japanese serows and 50 japanese deer and tested for antibodies against parapoxvirus by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and an agar gel immunodiffusion test. overall seroprevalences among japanese serows were 5/25 (20.0%) in 1996, 4/14 (28.6%) in 1997, 5/32 ... | 2001 | 11293676 |
| establishment of a spinated type of diplodinium rangiferi by transfaunation of the rumen ciliates of japanese sika deer (cervus nippon centralis) to the rumen of two japanese shorthorn calves (bos taurus taurus). | one liter of rumen fluid containing 4.7 x 10(4) ciliates/ml, representing four genera including nine species of ciliates from a japanese sika deer was inoculated into two unfaunated japanese shorthorn calves. two weeks after inoculation, all species originally present in the inoculum were subsequently detected in the rumen fluid of one or both calves. ciliate densities ranged from 10(5)-10(6) cells/ml over the remainder of the 33-wk experiment. the inoculum contained diplodinium rangiferi. which ... | 2002 | 11908897 |
| fecal progesterone analysis by time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay (tr-fia) for monitoring of luteal function in the sika doe (cervus nippon centralis). | fecal progesterone content was measured by time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay (tr-fia) in the sika doe (cervus nippon). the total recovery rate of fecal progesterone by twice extraction with diethylether was about 60%. the displacement curve of tr-fia with serial doses of fecal extract (0.156-5.0 mg feces) was closely parallel to that of the reference standard. fecal progesterone content was correlated with that of plasma (r=0.829, n=16), but the values were 100-fold higher in feces than in plasma. ... | 2002 | 12185308 |
| phylogenetic analysis of theileria sp. from sika deer, cervus nippon, in japan. | the 18s rrna genes of theileria species detected in sika deer, cervus nippon centralis in yamaguchi and cervus nippon yesoensis in hokkaido, were analyzed. the percent identities of the nucleotide sequences of theileria from cervus nippon centralis and cervus nippon yesoensis were more than 99%. the percent identities of the theileria sp. from sika deer and theileria sergenti, theileria buffeli and theileria cervi were 97, 96 and 95%, respectively. phylogenetic analysis of the gene sequences als ... | 2004 | 15063944 |
| morphometry on lancet flukes found in japanese sika deer (cervus nippon centralis) captured in iwate prefecture, japan. | thirty-six flukes were collected from the livers of wild deer (cervus nippon centralis) captured in iwate prefecture, japan, and were served for morphometry. the length and/or the width of the body, suckers, testes, ovary, vitelline glands, cirrus pouch and eggs in the uterus of the flukes were measured. the distance between anterior end of the body and position of the maximal body-width or upper end of the testes were also determined. a remarked morphological characteristic was that the right a ... | 2006 | 16679730 |
| distinct distribution of dicrocoelium dendriticum and d. chinensis in iwate prefecture, japan, and a new final host record for d. chinensis. | this study dealt with the morphological and molecular identification of dicrocoelium flukes obtained from japanese serow (capricornis crispus) and sika deer (cervus nippon centralis) in the twelve districts of iwate prefecture, japan. dicrocoelium dendriticum and d. chinensis were exclusively detected in the western, and coastal and eastern areas of iwate prefecture, respectively. this geographically distinct occurrence of the two dicrocoelium species would be associated with the distribution of ... | 2014 | 24998394 |
| prevalence and genetic diversity of bartonella species in sika deer (cervus nippon) in japan. | we report the first description of bartonella prevalence and genetic diversity in 64 honshu sika deer (cervus nippon centralis) and 18 yezo sika deer (cervus nippon yesoensis) in japan. overall, bartonella bacteremia prevalence was 41.5% (34/82). the prevalence in wild deer parasitized with ticks and deer keds was 61.8% (34/55), whereas no isolates were detected in captive deer (0/27) free of ectoparasites. the isolates belonged to 11 genogroups based on a combination of the glta and rpob gene s ... | 2012 | 22832020 |
| deer predation on leaf miners via leaf abscission. | the evergreen oak quercus gilva blume sheds leaves containing mines of the leaf miner stigmella sp. (lepidoptera: nepticulidae) earlier than leaves with no mines in early spring in nara, central japan. the eclosion rates of the leaf miner in abscised and retained leaves were compared in the laboratory to clarify the effects of leaf abscission on leaf miner survival in the absence of deer. the leaf miner eclosed successfully from both fallen leaves and leaves retained on trees. however, sika deer ... | 2008 | 18004533 |
