Borna disease virus (BDV) infection causes neurological disease in cats. Here, we report BDV infection in 199 hospitalized domestic cats in the Tokyo area. BDV infection was evaluated by detection of plasma antibodies against BDV-p24 or -p40. BDV-specific antibodies were detected in 54 cats (27.1%). Interestingly, the percentage of seropositive cats was not significantly different among the three clinical groups, i.e., healthy (29.8%), neurologically asymptomatic disease (22.2%) and neurological disease (33.3%). The specific antibodies were present even in cats aged below one year. The seropositive ratio was constant, irrespective of age and sampling season. The present study suggests that additional factors are required for onset of Borna disease in naturally infected cats and that BDV is transmitted through vertical routes in cats.

A. catenellaの増殖に及ぼすB群ビタミンの影響をバッチ培養系において調べた。本藻はB群ビタミンのうちビタミンB_<12>を増殖に必須に要求し, 増殖のB_<12>半飽和定数(Kμ)は0.22ng/L, 最大比増殖速度(μ'm)は0.55 day^<-1>, 最小細胞内B_<12>含量(q_0)は0.65fg/cell, 単位細胞体積当たりのB_<12>含量は27分子/μm^3と算出された。本藻は, 他の栄養物質が充足されている場合, 富栄養化の進んだ沿岸・内湾域のようにB_<12>供給量が多い海域では最大に近い比増殖速度で増殖できると考えられた。また, Kμ, μ'mを他の赤潮プランクトンと比較した結果, 本藻は低B_<12>濃度下で一部の赤潮プランクトンよりも優位に増殖できると推察された。Physiological growth characteristics of Alexandrium catenella (Whedon et Kofoid) Balech, toxic dinoflagellate, were examined in axenic, batch cultures with specific reference to B group vitamin requirements. A. catenella required essentially vitamin B_<12> among the B group vitamins for their growth. It was found that growth rates and final cell yields were dependent on the vitamin B_<12> concentrations in the media. Under the conditions of our batch culture experiments, the half-saturation constant for growth of vitamin B_<12>(Kμ) and maximum growth rate (μ'm) were 0.22ng/L and 0.55 day^<-1>, respectively. The minimum cell quota of vitamin B_<12> was estimated at 0.65 fg/cell or 27 molecules/(μm)^3 of the cell volume. In this experiment, A. catenella could grow at almost a maximum growth rate at high vitamin B_<12> levels of eutrophied coastal waters. The comparison of Kμ and μ'm between A. catenella and other red-tide species suggests that this organism can win competition with some red-tide species under low B_<12> concentrations.
