This article explores how the Japanese state’s radiation-centered approach to ecological redress in postfallout costal Fukushima impacts a local framework of relationality called en/?. By ethnographically tracing encounters between humans and wild boars region through an ecosemiotic lens, essay articulates differences tensions en model that government’s decontamination policy enforces. In so do...

In an era of increasing human pressure on nature, understanding the spatiotemporal patterns wildlife relative to disturbance can inform conservation efforts, especially for large carnivores. We examined temporal activity and spatial wolves eight sympatric mammals at 71 camera trap stations in Greece. Grey temporally overlapped most with wild boars (Δ = 0.84) medium-sized > 0.75), moderately ...

Abstract Porcine parvoviruses (PPVs) are diverse and persistently evolving viruses found in domestic pigs wild boars. parvovirus 1 (PPV1) causes reproductive problems adult animals, although the veterinary relevance of PPV2, PPV3, PPV4 has not been clarified. The detection sequence analysis PPVs circulating boar populations Serbia was performed to determine their phylogenetic relationships prev...

Genomic DNA was extracted from tissue specimens of wild boars (Sus scrofa) in 10 different locations Mongolia. D-loop part genome amplified by PCR and subjected to sequencing. Determined sequences 18 were registered with the GenBank accession numbers obtained. A total 54 complete mitochondrial available NCBI taken as a reference for comparison that Mongolian boars. Sequence alignment, detection...

Ochratoxins are fungal secondary metabolites that may contaminate a broad variety of foodstuffs, such as grains, vegetables, coffee, dried fruits, beer, wine and meats. Ochratoxins are nephrotoxins, carcinogens, teratogens and immunotoxins in rats and are also likely to be in humans. In 2009/2010, a survey of the presence of Ochratoxin A (OTA) in regularly hunted wild boars in the Calabria regi...

During April 2012, 34 dead wild boars (Sus scrofa) were found in the Tachov region (Czech Republic) directly in the River Mze or in its close vicinity. After infectious diseases were excluded, poisoning was suspected as the cause of death. The finding of cadavers directly in or close to a river was indicative of poisoning by a substance which causes thirst. Laboratory analysis excluded dietary ...

We previously reported the development of genomic-DNA-based high-resolution genotyping methods for SLA-DQB1 and DRB1. Here, we report the successful typing of SLA-DQA using similar methodological principles. We designed a method for comprehensive genotyping of SLA-DQA using intronic sequence information of SLA-DQA exon 2 that we had obtained from 12 animals with different SLA-DQB1 genotypes. We...
