Large-scale epidemiological study on feline autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and identification of novel PKD1 gene variants.

Objectives: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a common inherited disease in cats. In most cases, the responsible abnormality is a nonsense single nucleotide polymorphism in exon 29 of the gene (chrE3:g.42858112C>A, the conventional variant).

The presence of adhesion factors NOX, α-enolase, TrmFO, P27, and VpmaX in wild isolates in Japan.

Background: causes various diseases such as bronchopneumonia, otitis media, arthritis, and mastitis in cattle. is often isolated from the deep pharynges of healthy cattle and is generally considered not to cause clinical symptoms while in the upper respiratory tract. In mycoplasma infections, adhesion to the host cells is a crucial step.
