Three Decades of Subterranean Acoustic Communication Studies
(Springer, 2018)
The subterranean environment has strongly influenced the evolution of the sensory biology of subterranean rodents. While dark and monotonous tunnels have led to reductions in the visual capabilities of some species, other ...
Diversity and molecular characterization of novel hemoplasmas infecting wild rodents from different Brazilian biomes
(2015-12-01)
Although hemoplasma infection in domestic animals has been well documented, little is known about the prevalence and genetic diversity of these bacteria in wild rodents. The present work aimed to investigate the occurrence ...
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 ...
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 ...
Helminth Diversity in Synanthropic Rodents from an Urban Ecosystem
(Springer, 2017-09)
Richness and diversity of parasites depend on a set of interrelated factors related to the characteristics of the host, the environment and the parasites itself. In the City of Buenos Aires, rodent communities vary according ...
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: ...
