The common marmoset (Callithrix
jacchus) is now widely used in various
research fields, including toxicology. However,
information about the background pathology of this
species is scarce. Here, we report a case of
rhabdomyosarcoma that spontaneously occurred in a
common marmoset. A 44-month-old male common
marmoset was euthanized due to bilateral hind limb
paralysis. At necropsy, a 2×2×5-cm intramuscular
mass was observed in the lower right back.
Histologically, the mass was mainly composed of
interlacing bundles of spindle-shaped tumor cells.
Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were
positive for myogenin, desmin, vimentin and
alpha-smooth muscle actin. Ultrastructurally, the
tumor cells contained bundles of myofilaments with
Z-band-like structures. Thus, the tumor was
diagnosed as a rhabdomyosarcoma. To our knowledge,
this is the first report of spontaneous
rhabdomyosarcoma that was definitely diagnosed in
the common marmoset. 相似文献

The present report describes Syphacia
(Syphacia) maxomyos sp. n. (Nematoda:
Oxyuridae) from two species of spiny rats, Maxomys musschenbroekii from
Sulawesi and M. whiteheadi from Sumatra. It is characterized by a
cephalic plate extending laterally with dorsoventral constriction and stumpy eggs with an
operculum rim reaching pole. It is readily distinguishable by the former feature from all
of hitherto known representatives of this genus in Indonesia, but it resembles parasites
in Murini and Hydromyni rodents in continental Asia and Sahul. This is the first
Syphacia species distributed in both the Sunda Shelf and Sulawesi with
the exception of Syphacia muris, a cosmopolitan pinworm found in rodents
of the of genus Rattus. It is surmised that S. maxomyos
is specific to Maxomys and that it was introduced to Sulawesi by
dispersal of some Maxomys from the Sunda Shelf. 相似文献

In this study, we examined the existence and structure of areolae and the
steroidogenesis of areolar trophoblast cells in the Antarctic minke whale placenta
morphologically and immunohistochemically. Placentas were collected from the 15th, 16th
and 18th Japanese Whale Research Program under Special Permit in the Antarctic (JARPA) and
1st JARPA II organized by the Institute of Cetacean Research in Tokyo, Japan. The opening
and cavity of fetal areolae formed by taller columnar trophoblast cells (areolar
trophoblast cells) with long microvilli and a bright cytoplasm, as compared with the
trophoblast cells of the chorionic villi interdigitating with the endometrial crypts, were
recognized in observations of serial sections. The opening of the areolar cavity was
hidden by chorionic villi with areolar trophoblast cells. Furthermore, a closed pouch-like
structure lined by tall columnar cells similar to areolar trophoblast cells within the
stroma of chorionic villi was noticed and continued to the areolar cavity, with the
opening seen on serial sections. In a surface investigation of the chorion and endometrium
by SEM, maternal (endometrial) areolae irregularly surrounded by endometrial folds were
obvious. Moreover, we distinguished areolar trophoblast cells with long microvilli
attached with many blebs from trophoblast cells. In our immunohistochemical observations,
a steroidogenic enzyme, cytochrome P450 side chain cleavage enzyme (P450scc), was detected
with strong immunoreactivity in trophoblast cells. However, areolar trophoblast cells
showed weak or no immunoreactivity for P450scc. 相似文献

Two captive Keel-billed toucans and a Chestnut-mandibled toucan in another zoological garden died suddenly
without any pre-existing symptoms, and three months later, a Japanese squirrel died of diarrhea. All these
animals showed necrotic enteritis and multifocal necrosis in the liver and spleen with Gram negative bacilli.
The bacilli showed strong positive immunolabeling for Yersinia pseudotuberculosis O4 in the
Keel-billed toucans, Y. pseudotuberculosis O2 in the Chestnut-mandibled toucan and Y.
pseudotuberculosis O1 in the Japanese squirrel, while Y. pseudotuberculosis 4b, 2b
and 1b were respectively isolated from the lesions. To our knowledge, this might be the first reported case of
fatal yersiniosis in a Japanese squirrel in the world as well as in toucans in Japan. 相似文献

Six adult dairy cows clinically diagnosed as hemorrhagic bowel syndrome (HBS) were the
subjects of this study. The involved intestinal lesions were fixed in formalin and
examined macroscopically and histopathologically. Pathological examinations revealed large
intramural hematomas with necrotic foci, resulting in luminal obstruction. The mucosal
layer in the lesions was detached from the intestinal wall, and there were no hemorrhagic
changes in the lumen. The intramural hematomas were sometimes covered with histologically
intact mucosal layer. These pathological findings were not consistent with those of
“intraluminal blood clots” reported previously. Gram-positive and
anti-Clostridium antibody-positive short bacilli were found in
hemorrhagic necrotic areas. However, the exact relationship between
Clostridium spp. observed in the lesions and HBS remains unclear,
because this bacterium is a normal inhabitant in cattle. 相似文献

The common marmoset is widely used in neuroscience and regenerative medicine research.
However, information concerning common marmoset disorders, particularly infectious
diseases, is scarce. Here, we report a case of a female common marmoset that died suddenly
due to gas gangrene. The animal presented with gaseous abdominal distention at postmortem,
and Clostridium perfringens type A was isolated from several tissues.
Vacuoles, a Gram-positive bacteremia and intravascular hemolysis were observed
microscopically in the muscles, liver and lungs. On the basis of these findings, we
diagnosed nontraumatic gas gangrene caused by Clostridium perfringens
type A in this common marmoset. 相似文献

Plesiomonas shigelloides is a causal agent of gastroenteritis, sepsis
and meningitis in humans. We examined the prevalence of P. shigelloides
among great cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo hanedae) in Japan and the
antimicrobial susceptibility of isolates. P. shigelloides was isolated
from 33 (47.8%) of 69 fecal samples from great cormorants in 2014. All 33 isolates were
subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing using broth microdilution methods, which
showed resistance to ampicillin (31 isolates, 93.9%), tetracycline (two isolates, 6.1%)
and trimethoprim (one isolate, 3.0%). The high prevalence of P.
shigelloides in the great cormorants implicates the possible microbiological
risk to public health. 相似文献

There are few reports describing the structure and function of the whale placenta with
the advance of pregnancy. In this study, therefore, the placenta and nonpregnant uterus of
the Antarctic minke whale were observed morphologically and immunohistochemically.
Placentas and nonpregnant uteri were collected from the 15th, 16th and 18th Japanese Whale
Research Programme with Special Permit in the Antarctic (JARPA) and 1st JARPA II organized
by the Institute of Cetacean Research in Tokyo, Japan. In the macro- and microscopic
observations, the placenta of the Antarctic minke whale was a diffuse and epitheliochorial
placenta. The chorion was interdigitated to the endometrium by primary, secondary and
tertiary villi, which contained no specialized trophoblast cells such as binucleate cells,
and the interdigitation became complicated with the progress of gestation. Furthermore,
fetal and maternal blood vessels indented deeply into the trophoblast cells and
endometrial epithelium respectively with fetal growth. The minke whale placenta showed a
fold-like shape as opposed to a finger-like shape. In both nonpregnant and pregnant uteri,
many uterine glands were distributed. The uterine glands in the superficial layer of the
pregnant endometrium had a wide lumen and large epithelial cells as compared with those in
the deep layer. On the other hand, in the nonpregnant endometrium, the uterine glands had
a narrower lumen and smaller epithelial cells than in the pregnant endometrium. In
immunohistochemical detection, immunoreactivity for P450scc was detected in most
trophoblast cells, but not in nonpregnant uteri, suggesting that trophoblast epithelial
cells synthesized and secreted the sex steroid hormones and/or their precursors to
maintain the pregnancy in the Antarctic minke whale. 相似文献

Babesia sp. (EU1), first characterized in 2003, has been implicated in human cases of babesiosis in Italy, Austria and Germany. It has been identified in roe deer and in its suspected tick vector, Ixodes ricinus, in several European countries. The aim of the present study was to validate the competence of I. ricinus as a vector of Babesia sp. (EU1) via experimental infections. For this purpose, a parasite strain isolated from roe deer was cloned in sheep erythrocytes. After experimental infections, parasite DNA was successfully amplified by PCR in both eggs and larvae originating from infected I. ricinus females and in the salivary glands of females exposed to Babesia sp. (EU1) as nymphs. We also demonstrate that infected females were able to transmit parasite DNA during a new blood meal. Together with previous epidemiological studies, these results validate I. ricinus as a competent vector for Babesia sp. (EU1). 相似文献

Poultry red mite (PRM,
Dermanyssus gallinae) is a blood-sucking ectoparasite as well as a
possible vector of several avian pathogens. In this study, to define the role of PRM in
the prevalence of avian infectious agents, we used polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to
check for the presence of seven pathogens: Avipox virus (APV), Fowl Adenovirus (FAdV),
Marek’s disease virus (MDV), Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae (ER),
Salmonella enterica (SE), Mycoplasma synoviae (MS) and
Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG). A total of 159 PRM samples collected
between 2004 and 2012 from 142 chicken farms in 38 prefectures in Japan were examined. APV
DNA was detected in 22 samples (13.8%), 19 of which were wild-type APV. 16S ribosomal RNA
(16S rRNA) of MS was detected in 15 samples (9.4%), and the mgc2 gene of
MG was detected in 2 samples (1.3%). Eight of 15 MS 16S rRNA sequences differed from the
vaccine sequence, indicating they were wild-type strains, while both of the MG
mgc2 gene sequences detected were identical to the vaccine sequences.
Of these avian pathogen-positive mite samples, three were positive for both wild-types of
APV and MS. On the other hand, the DNAs of ER, SE, FAdV and MDV were not detected in any
samples. These findings indicated that PRM can harbor the wild-type pathogens and might
play a role as a vector in spreading these diseases in farms. 相似文献

The Ryukyu long-furred rat, Diplothrix legata, is a large rodent
distributed only on Amami-ohshima Island, Tokuno-shima Island and Okinawa-jima Island,
Japan. This animal is endangered as a result of deforestation, predation by introduced
carnivores and mortality caused by vehicles. We performed theriogenological examinations
of 32 male and 25 female Ryukyu long-furred rats carcasses collected from wild populations
on northern Okinawa-jima Island from December 2005 to September 2013. Adult males had
remarkably large preputial glands. Seminiferous diameter of adult was significantly small
(136 ± 28 µm, n=8) from April to August. Numerous spermatozoa were
observed from September through February, and seminiferous diameter was significantly
large (216 ± 27 µm, n=12) during this time in adults; testes length
changed in a similar pattern. These findings indicate that the mating season may occur
from September through February. Size (body length) at sexual maturity was estimated to be
>560 mm in both sexes. From observation of corpora lutea and placental scars, litter
size was estimated to range from 2 to 12 (average=6, n=4). These results provide
fundamental knowledge that will be beneficial for in situ and ex
situ conservation of this rare species. 相似文献

The raccoon (Procyon lotor), indigenous to North America, has
naturalized in Japan as an invasive alien species, having been introduced into the country
in the 1970s. In Hokkaido, the northernmost island of Japan, feral raccoons have been
increasing in number and spreading throughout the island. The age at the onset of puberty
for raccoons is important for estimating individual lifetime reproductive success and
population growth. The present study investigated the timing of and potential factors
affecting the onset of puberty in male raccoons in Hokkaido. External characteristics and
histology of testes were studied in 151 male feral raccoons and in 1 captive juvenile. For
the majority of feral yearling raccoons, prepubertal development began in May, and
spermatozoa production began in October prior to their second mating season. However, some
larger juveniles attained puberty during the juvenile period. The captive juvenile, which
was fed throughout the winter, attained puberty only 11 months after birth. These results
suggest that if male raccoons can achieve enough body growth before the first mating
season, puberty can be attained early. In both juveniles and yearlings, spermatozoa
production was only observed after autumn. This timing coincided with the recrudescence of
seasonally active spermatogenesis in adult males. Therefore, attaining puberty in male
raccoons appears to require both adequate body nutrient development and several
environmental factors that control seasonal testicular changes. 相似文献
