| note on the first occurrence of larval echinococcus multilocularis in clethrionomys rex in hokkaido, japan. | larval echinococcus multilocularis was found in clethrionomys rex in hokkaido, japan. c. rex is a new host record for e. multilocularis. the cysts were filled with numerous protoscoleces suggesting a potential role of this vole in a natural cycle of transmission. | 1995 | 8522772 |
| dynamics, co-infections and characteristics of zoonotic tick-borne pathogens in hokkaido small mammals, japan. | many of the emerging infectious diseases originate in wildlife and many of them are caused by vector-borne pathogens. in japan, zoonotic tick-borne pathogens (tbps) are frequently detected in both ticks and wildlife. here, we studied the infection rates of potentially zoonotic species, including anaplasma, ehrlichia, neoehrlichia and babesia spp., in hokkaido's most abundant small mammals as they relate to variable extrinsic factors that might affect the infection rates of these pathogens. a tot ... | 2016 | 27166277 |
| morphological differentiation of clethrionomys rufocanus sundevall, 1846 and clethrionomys rex imaizumi, 1971 (arvicolinae, rodentia) in the zone of sympatry in the far east. | | 2016 | 23292473 |
| refugia in glacial ages led to the current discontinuous distribution patterns of the dark red-backed vole myodes rex on hokkaido, japan. | the terrestrial mammalian fauna of the north japanese island, hokkaido, is more similar to that of southern siberia than to the main island of japan, honshu. three species of the genus myodes (muridae, rodentia) are found on hokkaido, but not on honshu. while myodes rufocanus and m. rutilus are widely distributed across hokkaido as well as the eurasian continent, m. rex, which is endemic to hokkaido and its adjacent islands, shows a discontinuous distribution pattern. we analyzed the phylogeogra ... | 2013 | 23915157 |
