Isolation of myxoviruses from migratory waterfowls in San-in district,western Japan in winters of 1997-2000     

Shengqing Y  Shinya K  Otsuki K  Ito H  Ito T 《The Journal of veterinary medical science / the Japanese Society of Veterinary Science》2002,64(11):1049-1052

Between November 1997 and February 2000, winter migratory waterfowls of several species staying in San-in district, western Japan were surveyed for influenza A virus and paramyxovirus at four stations. A total of 18 influenza A viruses was isolated from 1,404 fecal samples of whistling swans, pintails, mallards, and white-fronted geese. Five different hemagglutinins and eight neuraminidases were identified in the viruses isolated, in 11 different combinations, including H7N8 related to a subtype of a highly pathogenic chicken virus. In 2000, five lentogenic (non-pathogenic) Newcastle disease viruses were also isolated from white-fronted geese. These results suggested that possible precursor viruses for highly pathogenic avian myxoviruses are still brought into Japan by migratory waterfowls. The results also support the contention that continued surveillance of wild waterfowl population should be an integral part of control policies for these serious poultry diseases.  相似文献

Immunohistochemical study of Pneumocystis carinii infection in pigs: evaluation of Pneumocystis pneumonia and a retrospective investigation     

Kondo H  Hikita M  Ito M  Kadota K 《The Veterinary record》2000,147(19):544-549

Infection with Pneumocystis carinii was demonstrated immunohistochemically in the lungs of pigs 15 to 75 days of age from a herd with epidemic pneumonia due to the organism. The distribution of the organism was centered on the airways, and extended progressively with age from the alveolar ducts to the alveoli. In a retrospective immunohistochemical study of 245 newborn to adult pigs which were necropsied between 1988 and 1995, P carinii infection was found in 87 pigs (35.5 per cent) aged between 17 days to seven months. In the pigs aged between one and three months the infection rate was 63.1 per cent. Pigs from herds in which suckler and weaner pigs shared the same air space were more heavily infected than those from the herds in which they were reared separately. There were no regional or seasonal variations in the level of infection, and the infection was not associated with any single disease.  相似文献   

Maternal antibody passively transferred interferes with rabies vaccination in hamsters     

Bernardi F  Ito FH 《Comparative immunology, microbiology and infectious diseases》2000,23(3):185-195

Transference and interference of maternal immunity to offspring after rabies vaccination were studied in hamsters. Females were vaccinated or not before mating and offspring were vaccinated at the age of 7, 14, 21 and 30 days. Other pups were maintained as controls. Thirty days after vaccination pups were challenged intracerebrally with CVS virus. Mouse neutralization tests were used to verify antibody titers. Mortality of 97.0, 76.9, 60.9 and 24.0% was observed in pups vaccinated at 7, 14, 21 and 30 days respectively, born from vaccinated dams, while in pups from non-vaccinated dams, mortality was 51.4, 28.6, 8.7 and 0.0%. Statistically significant associations were found between mortality and age at vaccination, by simple linear regression with y=-3.1169x + 120.8 (p = 0.008; r2=0.98) for litters vaccinated and born from vaccinated dams and y=-2.2541x + 62.7495 (p = 0.03; r2=0.93) for pups vaccinated and born from non-vaccinated dams. Immunological response to vaccination in pups born from vaccinated mothers was delayed 11 days, when compared to that observed in pups of non-vaccinated mothers.  相似文献   

Salmonella contamination in commercial layer feed in Japan     

Shirota K  Katoh H  Ito T  Otsuki K 《The Journal of veterinary medical science / the Japanese Society of Veterinary Science》2000,62(7):789-791

A total of 4,418 samples of commercial layer feeds obtained in 1998 were investigated for the presence of salmonellae. A total of 146 strains of salmonellae which consisted of 32 serovars, including 20 strains of Salmonella Enteritidis, were isolated from 143 feed samples.  相似文献   

Root and stem rot of chrysanthemum caused by five <Emphasis Type="Italic">Pythium</Emphasis> species in Japan     

Takao Tsukiboshi  Yoshiaki Chikuo  Yoko Ito  Yosuke Matsushita  Koji Kageyama 《Journal of General Plant Pathology》2007,73(4):293-296

Root and stem rot with wilt of above ground parts of cultivated chrysanthemums was first found in Ibaraki, Toyama and Kagawa prefectures, Japan in 2002 and 2003. Pythium species were isolated from the diseased tissues and identified as P. dissotocum, P. oedochilum, P. sylvaticum, P. ultimum var. ultimum and asexual strains of P. helicoides based on their morphologies and sequences of rDNA-ITS region. All the Pythium species were strongly pathogenic to chrysanthemums in pot conditions and were reisolated from the inoculated plants. Because Pythium root and stem rot of chrysanthemum has never been reported in Japan, we propose that this is a new disease that can be caused by the five Pythium species.  相似文献   

Isolation and characterization of lectins from the AG-D group of binucleate <Emphasis Type="Italic">Rhizoctonia</Emphasis> species     

Mwafaida J. Mghalu  Masashi Horibe  Mayumi Kubota  Hirokazu Kawagishi  Mitsuro Hyakumachi 《Journal of General Plant Pathology》2007,73(4):235-241

Isolates from 18 anastomosis groups (AGs) of binucleate Rhizoctonia were screened for lectin activity. Eight AGs (AG-B, AG-D, AG-F, AG-G, AG-H, AG-I, AG-R and AG-U) had low to moderate lectin activities. Among these, members of AG-D and AG-I had the highest activity. Partially purified lectins from AG-D preferentially agglutinated human blood type A to type B and O. Mucin and galactose were the most potent inhibitors among the tested carbohydrates. The molecular masses of these lectins ranged from 12.7 kDa for the monomer to 62 kDa for the pentamer type. Proline, alanine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, leucine, threonine, serine and tyrosine were the major amino acid components of these lectins. Lectins from AG-D were stable at 4–50°C and from pH 6.0 to 10.0. When assayed with isoelectric focusing, these lectins gave bands at pI 9.30. Specificity of lectins from AG-D to galactose and its derivatives suggest a possible recognition role in this fungal species.  相似文献   

Characterizing Submergence Survival Strategy in Rice Via Chlorophyll Fluorescence     

C. Sone  O. Ito  J.‐I. Sakagami 《Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science》2012,198(2):152-160

Rice plants cope with flash floods using either an ‘escape strategy’ involving rapid shoot elongation or a ‘quiescence strategy’ involving survival underwater with minimal activity. To clarify the differences in the response of leaf photosynthesis properties to conditions during and after submergence, two rice cultivars were compared: a non‐shoot‐elongating cultivar IR 67520‐B‐14‐1‐3‐2‐2 (IR67520) and a shoot‐elongating cultivar IR72442‐6B‐3‐2‐1‐1 (IR72442). Twenty‐three‐day‐old seedlings were submerged in 80‐cm‐deep water for 14 days. During submergence, the chlorophyll contents of the upper fully expanded leaf (5th leaf) and newly developed leaf later (6th leaf) and the maximal quantum yield of photosystem II (F_v/F_m) of the fifth leaf decreased earlier in IR72442 than in IR67520. In the submerged sixth leaf, F_v/F_m was higher in IR72442 than in IR67520 at early measurement. Although F_v/F_m of the sixth leaf in submerged IR67520 increased substantially from 2 days post‐submergence, IR72442 decreased because of leaf chlorosis. Therefore, a non‐shoot‐elongating cultivar coped with submergence by inhibiting photodamage and maintaining high chlorophyll content in the leaves. The shoot‐elongating cultivar was able to maintain the photosynthetic capacity of the newly developed leaf during submergence by prompt reduction of chlorophyll and chlorophyll fluorescence in the leaf that developed before submergence.  相似文献
