First record of chewing lice Brueelia pyrrhularum Eichler, 1954 (Ischnocera: Philopteridae) on an Eurasian bullfinch, Pyrrhula pyrrhula L in Kushiro, Hokkaido, Japan
Get PDFArticleA deceased male adult Eurasian bullfinch, Pyrrhula pyrrhula, was collected in March 2017 from Kushiro Natural Red-crowned Crane Reserve, Kushiro, Hokkaido, Japan. In the post-mortem examination, three adult chewing lice were obtained from the body surface. The present specimens were identified as Brueelia pyrrhularum Eichler, 1954 by morphological measurements and characteristics. This is the first record of B. pyrrhularum from Japan.journal articl
根室港において発見された大量の海鳥死体に関する記録
Get PDFArticle2005年12月、根室港内の歩道にて、海鳥24個体の死体が見つかった。検査に耐えうる状態であったウミガラス2個体およびケイマフリ1個体を剖検した。その結果、頸部や翼に特徴的な裂傷が認あられたことから、混獲後、同場所に投棄されたものと考えられた。In December 2005, the carcasses of 24 seabirds were found on a sidewalk near to Nemuro Port, Hokkaido, Japan, and most of them were heavily damaged by other birds and frozen. Among them, two Common Murres, Uria aalge, and one Spectacled Guillemot, Cepphus carbo, were estimated as relatively better condition for postmortem, hence, postmortem examination was performed. Each individual had sufficient subcutaneous fat and was in good nutritional status. In addition, characteristic lacerations were observed in the neck and wings, suggesting circulatory disorders such as congestion of the lungs and venous system. Therefore, it was considered that these seabirds were artificially transported and dumped after being entangled in fishing nets and drowning.journal articl
Chewing Lice Found on Captive Tufted Puffin, Fratercula cirrhata
Get PDFArticleDuring the postmortem of tufted puffin chicks (Fratercula cirrhata), who died a few days after hatching in the aquarium, a large number of chewing lice were collected. These lice were identified as Quadraceps helgovauki (Philopteridae) based on morphological caracteristics. This is the first record of Q. helgovauki from F. cirrhata and in Japan.国内水族館で飼育され、孵化後3日で死亡したエトピリカ(Fratercula cirrhata)のヒナの剖検において、多数のハジラミ類が採集された。ハジラミは形態学的にニシツノメドリから報告のある Quadraceps helgovaukiと同定された。本種はエトピリカから初めて記録され、また国内初記録であった。journal articl
Clistobothrium sp. (Cestoda: Tetraphyllidea) in oarfish (Regalecus russelii) stranded on the coast of Akita Prefecture, Japan
Get PDFArticleOarfish (Regalecus russelii Cuvier) are mesopelagic fish with little known about their life history. Oarfish live in deep water, making it difficult for researchers to collect specimens; thus, records of their parasitic helminths are limited. Two plerocercoids were found for the first time in an oarfish stranded on the coast of Akita Prefecture, Japan. These plerocercoids were identified as Clistobothrium sp. RR-1 using morphological and molecular analyses. It was revealed that oarfish represent one of the intermediate hosts of the genus Clistobothrium, and large sharks are the definitive hosts for these parasites.journal articl
