 note = {During the period between February 1994 and July 2003, the corpses of 29 Iriomote wildcats (Felis iriomotensis) and 36 Tsushima wildcats (Felis bengalensis euptilura) were preserved in the Wildlife Conservation Center of the Environmental Agency of Japan. Case numbers and causes of death in Iriomote wildcats were 20 road kills, 2 trapped in torabasami (boar traps), 1 bite wound and 6 deaths from unaccountable causes, while in Tsushima wildcats there were 22 road kills, 4 deaths from weakness, 2 trapped in torabasami, 3 bite wounds and 5 deaths from unaccountable causes. Many kinds of parasite were detected in both Iriomote and Tsushima wildcats: in the former 2 trematodes, 1 cestode and 8 nematodes, and in the latter 2 trematodes, 1 cestode and 8 nematodes. Parasitic pneumonia was observed in 16 Iriomote wildcats and 14 Tsushima wildcats. From the bile duct of 23 Tsushima wildcats, great numbers of nematodes (Arthrostoma hunanensis) were detected and cholangitis, pericholangitis, cholecystectasia and mild hepatic fibrosis were histopathologically shown. It is concluded that sufficient attention should be given to preventing traffic accidents as well as the parasitic, bacterial and viral infectious diseases that are influential in the decline in the numbers of wildcats.},
