| transmission electron microscope observation of epithelial cells with single cilia in intrahepatic biliary ductules of bats. | cells with long single cilia arising from basal bodies in the apical cytoplasm were occasionally revealed in the bile ductular epithelia of bats (miniopterus schreibersi (kuhl), myotis macroductylus (temminck) and rhinolophus cornutus (temminck)). the basal body (distal centriole) was associated witha proximal centriole, so the basal structure was of "two centriole type." in cross sections of the long tapering cilia the arrangement of cilary microtubules was determined. in the most proximal port ... | 1978 | 718389 |

| cycle of the seminiferous epithelium in the java fruit bat (pteropus vampyrus) and the japanese lesser horseshoe bat (rhinolophus cornutus). | the cycle of the seminiferous epithelium in the java fruit bat, pteropus vampyrus, and the japanese lesser horseshoe bat, rhinolophus cornutus, was investigated by light microscopy and the characteristics of spermiogenesis were compared between these two species. in the java fruit bat, the cycle of the seminiferous epithelium was divided into 11 stages and developing spermatids were subdivided into 13 steps. while in the japanese lesser horseshoe bat, the cycle of the seminiferous epithelium was ... | 2001 | 11503905 |
| characterization of oita virus 296/1972 of rhabdoviridae isolated from a horseshoe bat bearing characteristics of both lyssavirus and vesiculovirus. | oita virus 296/1972 was isolated from the blood of a wild horseshoe bat, rhinolophus cornutus (temminck) in 1972. we investigated the pathogenicity of this virus in mice in relation to its histological, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural characteristics and the entire sequence of nucleoprotein gene. this virus caused lethal encephalitis in mice through intracerebral route. this susceptibility of mice was until 3 weeks of age. immunohistochemical analysis using the convalescent sera obtained ... | 2004 | 15168201 |
| genetic and acoustic population structuring in the okinawa least horseshoe bat: are intercolony acoustic differences maintained by vertical maternal transmission? | the origin and meaning of echolocation call frequency variation within rhinolophid bats is not well understood despite an increasing number of allopatric and sympatric examples being documented. a bimodal distribution of mean regional call frequency within the okinawa-jima island population of rhinolophus cornutus pumilus (rhinolophidae) provided a unique opportunity to investigate geographic call frequency variation early in its development. individual resting echolocation frequencies, partial ... | 2008 | 19120986 |
| morphometric variation in the pusillus group of the genus rhinolophus (mammalia: chiroptera: rhinolophidae) in east asia. | based on 203 specimens belonging to the rhinolophus "pusillus group" (mammalia: chiroptera: rhinolophidae), univariate and multivariate morphometric analyses using 19 characters were performed to assess the confused species taxonomy. the results indicated that r. pusillus (including calidus, parcus, and szechuanus) in the continental region and hainan island of china and "r. cornutus" in japan are morphologically divergent species. rhinolophus cornutus should be further split into r. cornutus (i ... | 2012 | 22639811 |
| seasonal changes in spermatogenesis of the japanese lesser horseshoe bat, rhinolophus cornutus from a morphological viewpoint. | seasonal changes in spermatogenesis of japanese lesser horseshoe bats, rhinolophus cornutus, captured in aomori prefecture (japan) were examined by light microscopy. in march, the seminiferous tubules revealed almost no lumen. the seminiferous epithelium consisted of sertoli cells and spermatogonia. the interstitium occupied a relatively large area. in june, the seminiferous tubules gradually increased in diameter. lumen was clearly seen at the center of seminiferous tubules. mitotic figures of ... | 2002 | 12484443 |
| innervation of wing membrane in japanese little horseshoe bats, rhinolophus cornutus. | the spinal nerves supplying the wing membranes of japanese little horseshoe bats, rhinolophus cornutus were studied. the wing membrane was innervated by nerve branches of the radial, ulnar, and median nerves, showing that the membrane was formed from the skin of the forelimb rather than that of the thoracolumbar skin. the radial nerve was mainly composed of the ventral rami of c7-t1, the ulnar nerve by c8-t2, and the median nerve by c8-t1. these components of r. cornutus tended to be from a narr ... | 2019 | 30880303 |
| detection and characterization of bat sarbecovirus phylogenetically related to sars-cov-2, japan. | epidemiology of bat betacoronavirus, subgenus sarbecovirus is largely unknown, especially outside china. we detected a sarbecovirus phylogenetically related to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 from rhinolophus cornutus bats in japan. the sarbecovirus' spike protein specifically recognizes angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 of r. cornutus, but not humans, as an entry receptor. | 2020 | 33219796 |
