Streptozotocin-induced rodent models of diabetes: Protocol comparisons
(2014-04-01)
Type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) are characterized by hyperglycemia, due to lost or damaged insulin-producing β-cells within the pancreatic islets of Langerhans. Rodent models of DM result in hyperglycemia, arising ...
Predicting species richness of ectoparasites of wild rodents from the Río de la Plata coastal wetlands, Argentina
(Springer, 2018-08)
The richness of ectoparasite species associated with Sigmodontinae rodents (Cricetidae) from different sites located in the coastal wetlands of the Río de la Plata in Argentina was predicted by a model with three components: ...
Factors Affecting Helminth Abundances in Synanthropic Rodents of an Urban Environment
(Bentham Open, 2018-10)
Background:Current levels of urbanization cause changes in the ecology of hosts, the pathogens, or both, promoting the proliferation of zoonotic diseases. Rodents are a good biological model for the development of pathogen ...
Water economy in rodents: evaporative water loss and metabolic water production
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2000)
The use of satellite data in modeling population dynamics and prevalence of infection in the rodent reservoir of Junin virus
(Elsevier Science, 2005-07)
We present the first results of a simple numerical model of rodent population dynamics and viral infection for Junin virus, etiologic agent of Argentine hemorrhagic fever (AHF), in its host, Calomys musculinus. In contrast ...
Wave expansion of CD(34+) progenitor cells in the spleen in rodent malaria
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2009)
Defense against malaria depends upon amplification of the spleen structure and function for the clearance of parasitized red blood cells (pRBC). We studied the distribution and amount of CD(34+) cells in the spleens of ...
Anatomia microscópica e ultraestrutura do joelho da paca (Cuniculus paca Linnaeus, 1766)
(2017-09-01)
Paca (Cuniculus paca), one of the largest rodent of the Brazilian fauna, has characteristics inherent to the species that can contribute as a new experimental animal; so, considering that there is a growing search for ...
El Nino-southern oscillation-driven rainfall variability and delayed density dependence cause rodent outbreaks in western South America: Linking demography and population dynamics
(UNIV CHICAGO PRESS, 1999)
It is well known that some rodent populations display dramatic density fluctuations in semiarid regions of western South America after the unusual rainfall levels associated with El Nino-southern oscillation (ENSO) ...
