Article Synopsis
- * A study from 2012 to 2021 analyzed radiocesium levels in the stomach contents and muscles of wild rodents and insectivores in Fukushima Prefecture, revealing a decrease in Cs concentrations at one site (Mt. Kuchibutoyama) but stability or slight increase at another (Mt. Hayama).
- * The study estimated effective half-lives for Cs in stomach contents and muscles, indicating it may remain in some species for years, with concentrations of Cs still detectable as of November 2021, highlighting ongoing ecological concerns.
This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of antibodies against pathogenic Yersinia such as Y. enterocolitica and Y. pseudotuberculosis in domestic pigs.

- A new multiplex PCR method has been created to quickly and accurately diagnose three types of pathogenic Yersinia bacteria, including the highly harmful Y. enterocolitica.
- The method uses four specific primer pairs to identify genes linked to the virulence of these bacteria, resulting in distinct band patterns for each Yersinia strain.
- This technique can detect extremely low levels of bacteria (as low as 10-10 CFU per reaction) and has proven effective on fecal samples from wild rodents that tested positive for Y. enterocolitica O8.
From 2012 to 2021, prevalence of pathogenic Yersinia in wild rodents captured in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan was investigated twice a year to clarify the ecology of this pathogen in wild rodent populations. Pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica O8 was isolated from 13 (1.7%) of 755 wild rodents.
