Effects of captivity and artificial breeding on microbiota in feces of the red-crowned crane (Grus japonensis). [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2016 AbstractReintroduction of the threatened red-crowned crane has been unsuccessful. Although gut microbiota correlates with host health, there is little information on gut microbiota of cranes under different conservation strategies. The study examined effects of captivity, artificial breeding and life stage on gut microbiota of red-crown cranes. The gut

Virome characterization of diarrheic red-crowned crane (G. japonensis) [PDF]
Animal MicrobiomeBackground The red-crowned crane is one of the vulnerable bird species. Although the captive population has markedly increased over the last decade, infectious diseases can lead to the death of young red-crowned cranes while few virological studies have ...

Genetic and Biological Characteristics of Gruid Herpesvirus 1 Isolated From Wild Cranes Affected by Inclusion Body Disease of Cranes. [PDF]
Transbound Emerg DisInclusion body disease of cranes (IBDCs) is fatal in many cases and reportedly caused by a herpes‐like virus labeled as gruid herpesvirus 1 (GrHV‐1). Although GrHV‐1 has been isolated from IBDC‐affected cranes, it has not been genetically classified because its genome has not been partially or fully sequenced.

Survey of Coccidial Oocysts and Parasite Eggs in Feces of Free-Ranging Grus japonensis
Journal of Veterinary Medical Science, 2006 Fecal survey of Eimeria oocysts and parasite eggs was conducted for 219 fecal samples of free-ranging Grus japonensis in Kushiro district in Hokkaido in April 2003. Positive rate and mean oocysts (or eggs) per gram in positive samples were 26% (57/219) and 8.8 (0.2-136) in oocysts of Eimeria reichenowi, 18.3% (40/219) and 320 (100-1,000) in trematode ...

Integrated Assessment of Survival, Movement, and Reproduction in Migratory Birds: A Study on Evaluating Reinforcement Success [PDF]
AnimalsConservation managers increasingly employ reinforcement techniques to bolster declining populations by reintroducing non-wild individuals born in captivity into natural habitats, but success rates remain modest. In this study, the success is evaluated of

Genetic Diversity and Differentiation of MHC Class I Genes in Red-Crowned Crane Populations
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 The red-crowned crane (Grus japonensis) has been demoted to “vulnerable species” because its populations have apparently stabilized in Japan and Korea. Low variation and genetic drift may cause damage to the nascent recovery of the G.
