| isolation of mycoplasmas from experimental ferrets (mustela putorius). | a total of 21 apparently healthy experimental ferrets, 8 males and 13 females, comprizing 1, 2 and 3 year-old animals were examined for mycoplasmatales. mycoplasmas were isolated from 17 samples of 21 oral cavities (81.0%), and from 2 of 21 nasal cavities (9.5%), but not from the prepuce or vagina of the animals. neither ureaplasma nor acholeplasma was demonstrated in any of the locations of the ferrets examined. these mycoplasma strains proved to metabolize glucose but not arginine and urea. th ... | 1982 | 7169088 |

| winter hibernation and body temperature fluctuation in the japanese badger, meles meles anakuma. | this study examined seasonal changes in body weight, hibernation period, and body temperature of the japanese badger (meles meles anakuma) from 1997 to 2001. adult badgers showed seasonal changes in body weight. between mid-december and february, badger activity almost ceased, as the animals remained in their setts most of the time. adult male badgers were solitary hibernators; adult females hibernated either alone or with their cubs and/or yearlings. the total hibernation period of japanese bad ... | 2006 | 17189911 |
| muscular sarcocystosis in wild carnivores in honshu, japan. | a total of 65 free-living carnivores collected on honshu island, japan were examined for muscular sarcocystis species infections. among them, 12 japanese raccoon dogs (nyctereutes procyonoides viverrinus), one japanese red fox (vulpes vulpes japonica), three japanese martens (martes melampus melampus), and two japanese badgers (meles meles anakuma) were found to have sarcocysts in their muscles. no inflammatory reactions associated with sarcocysts were observed. ultrastructurally, the sarcocysts ... | 2009 | 19841942 |
| distribution of wild mammal assemblages along an urban-rural-forest landscape gradient in warm-temperate east asia. | urbanization may alter mammal assemblages via habitat loss, food subsidies, and other factors related to human activities. the general distribution patterns of wild mammal assemblages along urban-rural-forest landscape gradients have not been studied, although many studies have focused on a single species or taxon, such as rodents. we quantitatively evaluated the effects of the urban-rural-forest gradient and spatial scale on the distributions of large and mid-sized mammals in the world's larges ... | 2013 | 23741495 |
| acanthocheilonema delicata n. sp. (nematoda: filarioidea) from japanese badgers (meles anakuma): description, molecular identification, and wolbachia screening. | acanthocheilonema delicata n. sp. (filarioidea: onchocercidae: onchocercinae) is described based on adult filarioids and microfilariae obtained from subcutaneous connective tissues and skin, respectively, of japanese badgers (meles anakuma) in wakayama prefecture, japan. no endemic species of the genus had been found in japan. recently, some filarioids (e.g., acanthocheilonema reconditum, dirofilaria spp., and onchocerca spp.) have come to light as causative agents of zoonosis worldwide. the new ... | 2013 | 22926421 |

| molecular evidence for hemotropic mycoplasma infection in a japanese badger (meles meles anakuma) and a raccoon dog (nyctereutes procyonoides viverrinus). | we report detection of hemoplasma in wild japanese badgers (meles meles anakuma) and raccoon dogs (nyctereutes procyonoides viverrinus). sequence analysis of the entire 16s rrna genes identified mycoplasma haemocanis in the raccoon dog sample, and a potential novel mycoplasma species in the japanese badger. | 2014 | 24484489 |
| involvement of two genetic lineages of sarcoptes scabiei mites in a local mange epizootic of wild mammals in japan. | similar to wild mammals on the continents, mange caused by the mange mite, sarcoptes scabiei (acari: sarcoptidae) is spreading in wild mammals in most of japan. we collected crusted or alopetic skin from 120 raccoon dogs (nyctereutes procyonoides viverrinus), three raccoons (procyon lotor), six japanese badgers (meles anakuma), one japanese marten (martes melampus), one stray dog (canis lupus familiaris), four wild boars (sus scrofa leucomystax), and one japanese serow (capricornis crispus), mai ... | 2015 | 25397999 |

| phylogeographic sympatry and isolation of the eurasian badgers (meles, mustelidae, carnivora): implications for an alternative analysis using maternally as well as paternally inherited genes. | in the present study, to further understand the phylogenetic relationships among the eurasian badgers (meles, mustelidae, carnivora), which are distributed widely in the palearctic, partial sequences of the mitochondrial dna (mtdna) control region (539-545 base-pairs) as a maternal genetic marker, and the sex-determining region on the y-chromosome gene (sry: 1052-1058 base-pairs), as a paternal genetic marker, were examined. the present study revealed ten sry haplotypes from 47 males of 112 indi ... | 2011 | 21466348 |
| light and scanning electron microscopic study on the tongue and lingual papillae of the japanese badgers, meles meles anakuma. | we observed the three-dimensional structures of the external surface and connective tissue cores (ctcs), after exfoliation of the epithelium of the lingual papillae (filiform, fungiform and foliate papillae) of the japanese badgers (meles meles anakuma) using scanning electron microscopy and conventional light microscopy. macroscopically, the tongue was elongated anterior-posteriorly and the apex rounded. numerous filiform papillae and fungiform papillae were distributed all over the tongue exce ... | 2009 | 19408581 |
| mitochondrial dna reveals a strong phylogeographic structure in the badger across eurasia. | the badger, meles meles, is a widely distributed mustelid in eurasia and shows large geographic variability in morphological characters whose evolutionary significance is unclear and needs to be contrasted with molecular data. we sequenced 512 bp of the mitochondrial dna control region in 115 eurasian badgers from 21 countries in order to test for the existence of structuring in their phylogeography, to describe the genetic relationships among their populations across its widespread geographic r ... | 2006 | 16599963 |
| bronchial ramification and lobular division of the lung of the japanese badger (meles meles anakuma). | the right lung of the japanese badger (meles meles anakuma) consists of the cranial, middle, caudal and accessory lobes. the left lung consists of the middle and caudal lobes. the japanese badger has four bronchiole systems, dorsal, lateral, ventral and medial, on each side. the cranial lobe is formed by the first bronchiole of the dorsal bronchiole system. the middle lobe is formed by the first bronchiole of the lateral bronchiole system. the accessory lobe is formed by the first bronchiole of ... | 1995 | 7492660 |
| phylogenetic relationships of strongyloides species in carnivore hosts. | strongyloides stercoralis is a parasitic nematode and a major pathogen responsible for human strongyloidiasis. the presence of this species in the dog population has led to an interest in studying the phylogenetic relationships among strongyloides spp. in carnivore hosts. in the present study, strongyloides spp. from various carnivore hosts (raccoon, japanese badger, siberian weasel, raccoon dog, masked palm civet, and domestic cat) were sought. except for civets, strongyloides spp. were identif ... | 2020 | 32502520 |
