The cadmium (Cd) content in the kidneys and livers of wild birds was compared after classification based on the type of migration and the breeding area. A high Cd content was detected in the organs of Pacific loons breeding in North America, but t...
Herpes B virus infection is almost asymptomatic in macaques (Macaca spp.), which are the natural hosts of this pathogen, but is the cause of high mortality in humans. Reactivation of the latent virus in the trigeminal ganglia (TG) results in the s...

The antigenic cross-reactive characteristics of herpes B virus and herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 (HSV-1) and HSV-2 are responsible for false-positive diagnoses by serological assays in humans and macaques. In the present study, we developed a ...
