Características poblaciones de Rattus rattus y Mus musculus presentes en comunidades rurales de Yucatán, MéxicoPopulation Characteristics of Rattus rattus and Mus musculus present in rural communities in Yucatán, México
(Universidad de Yucatan, 2018-02)
The aim of this study was to describe the abundance, weight and body length structures, and reproductive and health status of the black rat Rattus rattus and the house mouse Mus musculus from Yucatán, México. Rodents were ...
Mus81-Eme1-dependent aberrant processing of DNA replication intermediates in mitosis impairs genome integrity
(Science Advances is the American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2020-12)
Chromosome instability (CIN) underpins cancer evolution and is associated with drug resistance and poor prognosis. Understanding the mechanistic basis of CIN is thus a priority. The structure-specific endonuclease Mus81-Eme1 ...
Effects of different odours on the reproductive success of Mus musculus as an alternative method of control
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2019-01)
BACKGROUND: The house mouse (Mus musculus) is a cosmopolitan rodent that has become adapted to living in close association with humans and is considered a serious pest because it poses a risk to human health, and causes ...
Bromadiolone susceptibility in Mus musculus (house mice) of Argentina
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020-01)
Mus musculus (house mouse) is a serious rodent pest in poultry farms of Argentina. In these habitats, bromadiolone is the most frequently used anticoagulant. In spite of this control, more than 90% of the farms are infested ...
Role of Mus musculus in the transmission of several pathogens in poultry farms
(Australian Society for Parasitology, 2021-04)
This study aimed to analyze the role of Mus musculus as a host of Leptospira spp., lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) and Toxoplasma gondii, in poultry farms of Buenos Aires province, Argentina, and to assess the ...
Population subdivision of house mice (Mus musculus) in an agrarian landscape: Consequences for control
(National Research Council Canada-NRC Research Press, 2010-05)
In Argentinean agroecosystems, house mice (Mus musculus L., 1758) show a discontinuous distribution, with high abundances in farms but scarce abundance in crop fields. In our study area, the abundance of M. musculus could ...
Avoidance behaviour in laboratory domestic mice (Mus musculus) and Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus) towards predator odours
(Public Library of Science, 2021-01)
Mus musculus and Rattus sp. are considered pest species because they reach high densities in urban areas, crop fields and food storage and productive systems such as breeding farms and orchards. Their control relies mainly ...
Viscosity as a key factor in decision making of nectar feeding ants
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021-01)
It is well known that viscosity reduces the intake rates in nectar-feeding insects, such as nectivorous ants, though it remains unclear whether viscosity imposes a higher energy investment in these insects, and how this ...
The effect of neighbourhood on rodent communities: an example from Pampean agroecosystems
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017-07)
Pampean region agroecosystems are devoted to agricultural and farming activities, but in the crop field matrix there are relicts of remnant natural habitats. Poultry farms mainly harbour commensal species as house mice and ...
Empirical demonstration of hybrid chromosomal races in house mice
(Society for the Study of Evolution, 2016-06-11)
Western house mice (Mus musculus domesticus) and common shrews (Sorex araneus) are important models for study of chromosomal speciation. Both had ancestral karyotypes consisting of telocentric chromosomes, and each is ...
