New host, geographic records, and histopathologic studies of Angiostrongylus spp (Nematoda: Angiostrongylidae) in rodents from Argentina with updated summary of records from rodent hosts and host specificity assessment
(Fundação Oswaldo Cruz, 2016-03)
To date, 21 species of the genus Angiostrongylus (Nematoda: Angiostrongylidae) have been reported around the world, 15 of which are parasites of rodents. In this study, new host, geographic records, and histopathologic ...
Determinants of ectoparasite assemblage structure on rodent hosts from South American marshlands: the effect of host species, locality and season
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2010-09)
The relative effects of host species identity, locality and season on ectoparasite assemblages (relative abundances and species richness) harboured by four cricetid rodent hosts (Akodon azarae, Oligoryzomys flavescens, ...
Hepatozoon spp. infections in wild rodents in an area of endemic canine hepatozoonosis in southeastern Brazil
(2016-07-01)
Hepatozoon canis is a tick-borne parasite that occurs worldwide. In rural areas of Brazil, H. canis vectors remain unknown, which has led to speculation about alternative routes of transmission. Small rodents can play a ...
Phylogenetic and ecological factors affecting the sharing of helminths between native and introduced rodents in Central Chile
(Cambridge University Press, 2018)
Copyright © Cambridge University Press 2018. In order to analyse the effect of hosts' relationships and the helminthic load on the switching of parasites between native and introduced hosts, we sampled rodents belonging ...
Renal carriage of Leptospira species in rodents from Mediterranean Chile: The Norway rat (Rattus norvegicus) as a relevant host in agricultural lands
(Elsevier, 2017)
We evaluated the renal carriage of Leptospira species in rodent communities from Mediterranean Chile using a PCR technique. We found that animals inhabiting agricultural areas were almost three times more infected than in ...
Phylogenetic and ecological factors affecting the sharing of helminths between native and introduced rodents in Central Chile
(Cambridge University Press, 2018-10)
In order to analyse the effect of hosts' relationships and the helminthic load on the switching of parasites between native and introduced hosts, we sampled rodents belonging to two suborders from Central Chile. We compared ...
Multivariate discrimination among cryptic mites of the genus Androlaelaps (Acari: Mesostigmata: Laelapidae) parasitic of sympatric akodontine rodents (Cricetidae: Sigmodontinae) in northeastern Argentina: possible evidence of host switch followed by speciation, with the description of two new species
(Springer, 2014-07)
Laelapids are among the most common ectoparasites of rodents. Currently, it is under discussion whether there is a single polixenous species that parasites a variety of hosts, or whether there are cryptic species highly ...
Natural Host Relationships and Genetic Diversity of Rodent-Associated Hantaviruses in Southeastern Brazil
(Karger, 2008-01-01)
Objective: Hantaviruses are rodent-borne RNA viruses that have caused hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome in several Brazilian regions. In the present study, geographical distribution, seroprevalence, natural host range, ...
