| effect of different photoperiods on testicular weight changes in the vole, microtus agrestis. | the testicular weight response of 2-week-old male voles exposed to 10, 12, 14, 15 or 16 h light (l) per day for 4 weeks and of 5-week-old males exposed from birth to 12, 13, 13.5, 14, 14.25, 14.5, 14.75, or 15 h light per day was proportional to the photoperiod: 13l or less produced little growth but 13.5l or more produced progressively heavier testes. only 14.5l and 15l gave full spermatogenesis. 'night-break' schedules produced a marked testicular response with 7l :8d :1l :8d and 7l :6d :1l :1 ... | 1981 | 7014859 |
| comparative effect of the three rodenticides warfarin, difenacoum and brodifacoum on eight rodent species in short feeding periods. | short laboratory feeding tests were carried out with the anticoagulants warfarin, difenacoum, and brodifacoum on a number of european rodent species: clethrionomys glareolus, microtus agrestis, m. arvalis, apodemus flavicollis, a. sylvaticus, mus musculus, rattus rattus and r. norvegicus. it was found that the toxicity to all species was highest with brodifacoum and lowest with warfarin, and that only 0.005% brodifacoum would give a complete mortality in most species after one day's feeding. the ... | 1981 | 7019316 |
| [epidemiological survey in a natural focus of rickettsia transmitted by ixodes ricinus in switzerland (author's transl)]. | a spotted fever group rickettsia referred to as "swiss agent" was detected in 8.5% of ixodes ricinus collected in a marshy forest of the swiss plateau. this organism, in its tick vector, was found to be transmitted stadially as well as ovarially; of 433 larval, nymphal or adult ticks from 17 parental tick females, all were infected. a total of 3,612 larval i. ricinus were collected from 168 small mammals including 127 clethrionomys glareolus, 29 apodemus sylvaticus and flavicolis, 7 microtus agr ... | 1981 | 7020557 |

| infections with blood parasites in the small british rodents apodemus sylvaticus, clethrionomys glareolus and microtus agrestis. | three populations of small wild british rodents were studied by capture-recapture methods over a period of 3 years, a fourth group was studied for 1 year and a fifth was sampled annually for 4 years. blood smears were taken from 3 species of rodents: the woodmouse apodemus sylvaticus, the bank vole clethrionomys glareolus (and an island sub-species c.g. skomerensis) and the short-tailed vole microtus agrestis. the smears were examined microscopically. four genera of haemoparasites babesia, hepat ... | 1981 | 7022328 |
| topographical relationships of synaptic ribbons in the pineal system of the vole (microtus agrestis). | in the pineal system of the vole (microtus agrestis) both the superficial and the deep pineal exhibit a high percentage of synaptic ribbons lying in intimate contact with the cell membrane of the pinealocytes. at the sites of contact, densities resembling the presynaptic dense projections of synapses are arranged between the ribbons and the cell membrane. opposite the sites of contact various elements were found. the quantitative estimation revealed that in the superficial pineal about 40% and i ... | 1981 | 7023277 |
| analysis of the lh surges induced by mating and lh-rh in the vole, microtus agrestis. | female voles mated with a male and experiencing a single ejaculatory series exhibited a rapid and marked elevation of plasma lh levels. the profile of the lh surge had a broad peak 20-40 min after mating. pentobarbitone sodium administered immediately after mating did not affect the magnitude of the surge. the lh response to exogenous lh-rh ws not affected by the state of receptivity of the female or by gonadectomy. there was no evidence of any priming effect of 25 ng lh-rh on the pituitary resp ... | 1981 | 7024538 |
| studies of mammalian chromosome replication. ii. evidence for the existence of defined chromosome replicating units. | sister chromatids of metaphase chromosomes can be differentially stained if the cells have replicated their dna semiconservatively for two cell cycles in a medium containing 5-bromodeoxyuridine (brdu). when prematurely condensed chromosomes (pcc) are induced in cells during the second s phase after brdu is added to the medium, the replicated chromosome segments show sister chromatid differential (scd) staining. employing this pcc-scd system on synchronous and asynchronous chinese hamster ovary ( ... | 1981 | 7028418 |
| effect of copulation on the hypothalamic content of gonadotrophic hormone-releasing hormone in the vole, microtus agrestis. | there was a drop of 56% in the hypothalamic content of gn-rh in female voles 5 min after mating compared with that in unmated but receptive animals. this suggests that the surge of lh in vole plasma associated with reflex ovulation is evoked by a massive release of gn-rh. | 1982 | 7040650 |

| hepatic microsomal alterations during chronic trypanosomiasis in the field vole, microtus montanus. | the field vole, microtus montanus, was used as a model system to evaluate the chronic effects of infection by trypanosoma brucei gambiense on hepatic mixed-function oxidase activity. at day 28 post inoculation there was a 97% increase in liver wet weight per g body weight. a portion of the increase (21%) was accounted for by tissue edema which occurred after day 14 of infection. total hepatic cytochrome p-450 content and related total tissue mixed-function oxidase activities were decreased to ab ... | 1982 | 7050701 |
| [contribution to the knowledge of taenia crassiceps (zeder, 1800) rudolphi, 1810 (cestoda, taeniidae) (author's transl)]. | the occurrence of taenia crassiceps in naturally infected dogs is mentioned, and a brief description of the gravid proglottids is given. oral infection of several rodent species with eggs showed that the field vole (microtus arvalis) is the most susceptible intermediate host for this tapeworm. the cysticercus often develops in the brain of the rodent and causes disturbances of coordinated movements. two foxes (vulpes vulpes) were infected with cysticerci of the strains cola and giks. these strai ... | 1981 | 7314812 |
| a serological proof of adiaspiromycosis in wild rodents. | using serological and histological methods, we examined 92 specimens of small, wild rodents (apodemus sylvaticus, clethrionomys glareolus, micromys minutus, microtus agrestis, m. arvalis, mus musculus and pitymys subterraneus) for the incidence of adiaspiromycosis. in addition, we examined 16 white, laboratory mice after their exposure to a natural biotope in which the incidence of adiaspiromycosis had been confirmed earlier. the results of serological tests were in correlation with those obtain ... | 1980 | 7450616 |
| [brain deformation caused by hyperplasia molar teeth (macrodonts) in the japanese field vole (microtus montebelli)]. | protrusion of hyperplastic upper molar teeth (macrodonts) into the cranial cavity was observed in the japanese field vole. protrusions of the upper molars occurred on both sides, but were large on the left than on the right. the teeth invaded the cranial cavity and brain parenchyma. large concavities on the ventral side of the brain were interposed between the lateral olfactory tract and the optic tract. invation by one macrodont reached the basal nuclei, hypothalamic and thalamic nuclei. the br ... | 1995 | 7498346 |
| retinal projections to the subcortical nuclei in the japanese field vole (microtus montebelli). | retinal projections in the japanese field vole (microtus montebelli) were determined by anterograde transport of horseradish peroxidase (hrp). injection of hrp into the unilateral vitreous body demonstrated that the terminal labeling of the optic projections was seen bilaterally in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (sch), the ventral (glv) and dorsal (gld) lateral geniculate nuclei, the intergeniculate leaflet (igl), the medial pretectal nucleus (ntom) of the pretectum (pt) and the superficial layer o ... | 1995 | 7556420 |
| prevalence of antibodies to borrelia burgdorferi in danish rodents. | six rodent species from six danish localities were examined for antibodies to borrelia burgdorferi by immunofluorescence assay (ifa). a total of 1097 specimens were tested using a serum titre of 1:8. the wild mice apodemus sylvaticus and a. flavicollis had high prevalences of b. burgdorferi antibodies of 42.1% and 27.9% respectively, but the vole microtus agrestis also showed an exceptionally high prevalence of 32.7%. clethrionomys glareolus had a low average prevalence of 17.4%. the lowest and ... | 1995 | 7612254 |
| in vitro fertilization and embryo development of japanese field voles (microtus montebelli). | optimal conditions for in vitro fertilization of japanese field voles (microtus montebelli) were analysed. the medium used was a modified krebs-ringer bicarbonate devised for in vitro fertilization in rats. ovulated eggs and epididymal spermatozoa were co-incubated in vitro at 37 degrees c under 5% co2 in air for 6 h, and the eggs were fixed with 2.5% (w/v) glutaraldehyde, stained with 0.25% (v/v) acetolacmoid and examined for evidence of fertilization at the pronuclear stage. although the ferti ... | 1995 | 7636806 |
| serological evidence for the reservoir hosts of cowpox virus in british wildlife. | the reservoir host of cowpox virus in western europe is not known, but epidemiological evidence from human and feline infections indicates that the virus is probably endemic in small wild rodents. therefore, serum and tissue samples were collected from a variety of wild british mammals and some birds, and tested for evidence of orthopoxvirus infection. antibody reacting with cowpox virus was detected in 9/44 (20%) bank voles (clethrionomys glareolus), 8/24 (33%) field voles (microtus agrestis), ... | 1995 | 7641833 |
| mortality factors in a cyclic vole population. | the causes of cyclic fluctuations in microtine rodent populations are still a bone of contention. in particular, the actual causes of mortality in the different phases of the 3-4-year vole are an enigma. we present results from studies of radio-collared voles (microtus agrestis, m. rossiaemeridionalis and clethrionomys glareolus), which show that small mustelid predation was the major mortality factor of voles in the decline phase, but had less importance in the increase phase of the 3-year popu ... | 1995 | 7644548 |
| colonization history of north european field voles (microtus agrestis) revealed by mitochondrial dna. | the genetic structure of field vole (microtus agrestis) populations from northern europe was examined by restriction fragment length polymorphisms of mitochondrial dna (mtdna) in 150 individuals from 67 localities. a total of 83 haplotypes was observed, most of which were rare and highly localized geographically. overall nucleotide diversity was high (1.34%), but showed a tendency to decrease with higher latitude. two major mtdna lineages differing by 2% in nucleotide sequence were identified. a ... | 1995 | 7663749 |
| temporal dynamics of puumala virus antibody prevalence in voles and of nephropathia epidemica incidence in humans. | puumala (puu) virus is the etiologic agent of nephropathia epidemica (ne) in humans. this disease is highly endemic in vasterbotten county, sweden, with an annual incidence of 19.2 (range 3.7-37.4) per 100,000 inhabitants. voles are considered to be both the main reservoir and the vector of puu virus. a total of 3,591 rodents (mainly clethrionomys glareolus, c. rufocanus, and microtus agrestis) trapped in vasterbotten between 1979 and 1987 were tested for the presence of puu virus antibodies by ... | 1995 | 7677213 |
| transmission of borrelia burgdorferi s.l. from mammal reservoirs to the primary vector of lyme borreliosis, ixodes ricinus (acari: ixodidae), in sweden. | factors regulating prevalence of borrelia burgdorferi s.l. johnson, schmid, hyde, steigerwalt & brenner in ixodes ricinus (l.) were examined during 1991-1992 at bogesund, near stockholm in south-central sweden. nine species of small and medium-sized mammals (sorex araneus l., s. minutus l., neomys fodiens pennant, clethrionomys glareolus [schreber], microtus agrestis [l.], apodemus sylvaticus [l.], a. flavicollis [melchior], lepus europaeus pallas, l. timidus l.) were found to infect feeding tic ... | 1994 | 7815401 |
| age-accumulation of fluoride in an experimental population of short-tailed field voles (microtus agrestis l.). | this paper reports on the effects of a diet of vegetation contaminated by atmospheric fluorides upon the growth and age-accumulation of fluoride by a laboratory-maintained population of the short-tailed field vole, m. agrestis, a wild herbivore. offspring of the voles fed the contaminated diet generally had lower growth rates and body weights during infancy and early adulthood than those fed a reference diet. the concentration and total fluoride burden of the femur were significantly higher in v ... | 1994 | 7939626 |
| grahamella in small woodland mammals in the u.k.: isolation, prevalence and host specificity. | bacteria isolated from the blood of small woodland mammals were identified as members of the genus grahamella. the prevalence of grahamella infection among the 37 small mammals examined, detected by cultivation of blood samples, was 62%. this figure is somewhat higher than previous reports. further characterization of the isolates, based on restriction enzyme analysis of the 16s rrna gene, serological reactivity and dna hybridization studies, revealed three distinct grahamella species. one of th ... | 1994 | 7944677 |
| development of early-stage embryos of the japanese field vole, microtus montebelli, in vivo and in vitro. | although ovulation could be easily induced in the japanese field vole by administering pregnant mares' serum gonadotrophin and hcg, the number of embryos obtained varied from 1 to 47 (mean, 9.6). one-cell embryos were small (57.8-63.3 microns in diameter; mean, 61.0 microns) compared with those in other mammals. development of the preimplantation vole embryos in vivo was similar to that of mouse embryos. the first cleavage occurred between 24 and 26 h after mating. the second cleavage was betwee ... | 1994 | 7966023 |
| production of prostaglandins d2 and e2 by mouse fibroblasts and astrocytes in culture caused by trypanosoma brucei brucei products and endotoxin. | a study was made to characterize the effects of living trypanosoma brucei brucei and its products on prostaglandin d2 (pgd2) and pge2 production by fibroblasts and astrocytes. cultured fibroblasts were prepared from microtus agrestis embryos and astrocyte cultures were prepared from neonatal rats. the cultures were maintained in low-endotoxin or defined media (i.e. endotoxin-free). the pg production was compared with and studied in combination with a defined lipopolysaccharide (lps) from escheri ... | 1994 | 8036236 |
| long photophase is not a sufficient stimulus to reduce thermogenic capacity in winter-acclimatized short-tailed field voles (microtus agrestis) during long-term cold acclimation. | the thermogenic capacity of brown adipose tissue in winter- and summer-acclimatized short-tailed field voles (microtus agrestis) was investigated by examining changes in mass of brown adipose tissue, the ratio of white adipose tissue to brown adipose tissue, the concentration of the uncoupling protein (thermogenin) in whole depots (micrograms) and in mitochondrial mass (micrograms.mg-1) and the activity of cytochrome c oxidase in the depots (mmol.min-1). the concentration of thermogenin in winte ... | 1994 | 8056882 |
| prevalence of cryptosporidium sp. in peak density microtus agrestis, microtus oeconomus and clethrionomys glareolus populations. | the prevalence of cryptosporidia was determined in high density populations of microtus agrestis, microtus oeconomus, and clethrionomys glareolus in finland. one of 131 m. agrestis and one of 41 c. glareolus each were found to be infected with cryptosporidium sp.; none were found in 43 microtus oeconomus. these apparently healthy voles had neither signs of clinical disease nor histopathological changes in intestines. | 1994 | 8151812 |
| the effect of diet quality on gut anatomy in british voles (microtinae). | three species of british voles, the bank vole clethrionomys glareolus, the field vole microtus agrestis and the water vole arvicola terrestris were maintained on diets of seed and plant leaf material to investigate changes in gut anatomy. c. glareolus and m. agrestis showed significant changes in most regions of the gut; they developed longer and heavier tracts when on a high-fibre diet. this response may be important in enabling these animals to withstand seasonal changes in diet quality. | 1993 | 8408846 |
| uterine morphology and the distribution of granulated metrial gland cells in the virgin and pregnant short-tailed field vole, microtus agrestis. | the morphology of the uterine wall in the virgin pregnant and postpartum short-tailed field vole (microtus agrestis) was studied with particular reference to the distribution of granulated metrial gland (gmg) cells. in comparison with the mouse, the changes which occur in the uterine wall during pregnancy and into the postpartum period are broadly similar. however, unlike in the mouse, gmg cells were a feature of the uterine wall in virgin mice and of the antimesometrial decidua in pregnancy. in ... | 1993 | 8509302 |
| [adrenocortical zonation in the laboratory japanese field vole (microtus montebelli)]. | adrenocortical zonation in the laboratory japanese field vole (microtus montebelli) was investigated histologically with special attention to the sex and species specific differences. the whole cortex and zona reticularis showed clear sex differences. they were thicker in females than in males. in this respect the vole was similar to the mouse and rat, but different from the syrian hamster and mastomys. male cortices were characterized by thick z. fasciculata and meagre z. reticularis, while bot ... | 1993 | 8519305 |
| in vitro cultivation of trypanosoma acomys: production of insect stages and bloodstream forms. | when trypanosoma acomys bloodstream forms were cultivated at 37 degrees c in schneider's drosophila medium supplemented with 20% (v/v) heat-inactivated foetal calf serum (fcs), with microtus agrestis embryonic fibroblasts in rpmi 1640 medium supplemented with 20% fcs or in baltz's medium supplemented with 10% fcs, the parasites transformed and largely remained as epimastigotes. epimastigotes were also usually the commonest stage observed when the parasites were co-cultivated with a mosquito cell ... | 1995 | 8570583 |
| oral transmission of trypanosomes of the subgenus herpetosoma from small mammals. | the rodents microtus agrestis, clethrionomys glareolus, apodemus sylvaticus and white bk rats were given either a single intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection, an intragastric (i.g.) inoculation or an oral (p.o.) inoculation of the culture forms, including metacyclic trypomastigotes, of trypanosoma microti, t. evotomys, t. grosi and t. lewisi, respectively. similar levels of parasitaemia were produced by each of the three routes of infection, although the prepatent period was 3-5 days shorter in the ... | 1995 | 8570586 |
| fluoride accumulation and toxicity in laboratory populations of wild small mammals and white mice. | a laboratory experiment was conducted to compare the toxicological response and metabolism of inorganic fluoride by three species of wild mammals and laboratory white mice (mus musculus l.). the experimental populations of the wild species--the short-tailed field vole (microtus agrestis l.), the bank vole (clethrionomys glareolus l.) and the the wood mouse (apodemus sylvaticus l.)--were laboratory reared from wild stock, and all test animals were exposed to 0, 40 or 80 microgram f per ml in thei ... | 1995 | 8603928 |

| evolution of the gonosomal heterochromatin of microtus agrestis: rapid amplification of a large, multimeric, repeat unit containing a 3.0-kb (gata)11-positive, middle repetitive element. | the sex chromosomes of microtus agrestis are extremely large due to the accumulation of constitutive heterochromatin. we have cloned and characterized a 2,999-bp (gata)n-positive sequence, following haeiii digestion, that is confined to the noncentromeric heterochromatin of the x chromosome. the cloned element exhibits an accumulation of certain oligomers, which are scattered throughout its entire length, and several copies of chi-related sequence motifs, which are thought to be implicated in re ... | 1996 | 8697802 |
| penetration by field vole spermatozoa of mouse and hamster zonae pellucidae without acrosome reaction. | spermatozoa of the field vole (microtus montebelli) that bound to the zona pellucida of field vole oocytes underwent the acrosome reaction before passing through it. in contrast, vole spermatozoa that bound to the zonae of mouse and hamster oocytes penetrated the zonae without any sign of the acrosome reaction. the presence or absence of proteinase/hyaluronidase inhibitors in the medium did not make any difference to zona penetration by acrosome-intact vole spermatozoa. these observations sugges ... | 1996 | 8699440 |
| seasonal incidence of ixodes ricinus ticks (acari:ixodidae) on rodents in western france. | data collected from a longitudinal survey carried out over 2 years on four farms in western france were used to assess the incidence and infestation of ixodes ricinus on rodents. once a month, on each farm, 25 sherman live traps were set in hedges bordering selected pastures. a total of 799 micromammals were examined, including apodemus sylvaticus, clethrionomys glareolus, microtus agrestis, microtus arvalis, and crocidura spp. larvae and nymphs of i. ricinus were found. small numbers of ixodes ... | 1996 | 8771769 |
| summer acclimatization in the short-tailed field vole, microtus agrestis. | we investigated the changes that occurred in basal and noradrenaline-induced metabolic rate, body temperature and body mass in short-tailed field voles, microtus agrestis, during exposure to naturally increasing photoperiod and ambient temperature. these parameters were first measured in winter-acclimatized voles (n = 8) and then in the same voles which had been allowed to seasonally acclimatize to photoperiod and ambient temperature (6 months later). noradrenaline induced metabolic rate, basal ... | 1996 | 8810068 |
| effect of hypotaurine on in vitro fertilization and production of term offspring from in vitro-fertilized ova of the japanese field vole, microtus montebelli. | the present study was proposed to establish new in vitro fertilization (ivf)-embryo transfer techniques for wild mammals. we demonstrated that ivf of the japanese field vole, microtus montebelli, is improved by hypotaurine, and that ivf vole embryos can develop to normal offspring after transfer to recipient females. the rate of ivf was significantly increased when 0.1 or 1 mm of hypotaurine was added during sperm preincubation and fertilization (p < 0.05). preincubation of spermatozoa with 1 mm ... | 1996 | 8835384 |
| effects of saturated fatty acids on amylase release from exocrine pancreatic segments of sheep, rats, hamsters, field voles and mice. | stimulatory effects of saturated fatty acids consisting of 4 (butyrate), 8 (octanoate), 12 (laurate) and 16 (palmitate) carbon atoms, as well as acetylcholine on pancreatic amylase release were assessed in tissue segments isolated from sheep, rats, hamsters, field voles and mice. the amount of amylase release induced by the fatty acids (1 mumol.l-1 to 10 mml.l-1) and by acetylcholine (10 nmol.l-1 to 100 mumol.l-1) increased in a concentration-dependent manner, and the maximum response in respons ... | 1996 | 8870261 |
| cowpox in british voles and mice. | serosurveys indicate that bank voles, field voles and woodmice are probably reservoir hosts of cowpox virus in western europe, although virus has not yet been isolated from these species. in this study, bank voles, field voles, woodmice and laboratory mice were shown to be susceptible to combined intradermal and subcutaneous inoculation with 3-20 plaque-forming units (pfu) of cowpox virus. bank and field voles, but not laboratory mice, were also susceptible to combined oral and nasal inoculation ... | 1997 | 9076598 |
| fluoride-induced lesions in the teeth of the short-tailed field vole (microtus agrestis): a description of the dental pathology. | the effect of fluoride on the appearance of the teeth of the short-tailed field vole, microtus agrestis, was investigated in both wild animals collected from field sites affected by different levels of industrial fluoride contamination and laboratory-reared animals consuming experimental grass diets of known fluoride concentration or with known fluoride concentrations in drinking water. the extent and severity of lesions on the surface and structure of both incisors and molars are described as s ... | 1997 | 9097466 |
| pneumocystis carinii of the common shrew, sorex araneus, shows a discrete phenotype. | we carried out an immunohistological and morphological study on pneumocystis carinii originating from the common shrew, sorex araneus. immunologic properties were studied by applying two commercially available immunofluorescence staining kits with differing developmental form specificity to a lung homogenate. the cyst form-specific staining kit reacted with cysts originating from s. araneus. ultrastructurally this particular antigen epitope specifically deposited on the electron-lucent middle la ... | 1997 | 9109260 |
| the origin and distribution of the lund y chromosome in microtus agrestis (rodentia, mammalia). | the lund y (lu-y) chromosome of the field vole (microtus agrestis) is distinguished from the standard y (st-y) by its much longer short arm. g-banding revealed that the lu-y originated by a pericentric inversion in the st-y. chromosome analysis of 297 male field voles from 92 localities in fennoscandia. germany, and england, in addition to data from the literature, made it possible to map the distribution area of the lu-y. it is restricted to the south-western parts of sweden. the question of wh ... | 1997 | 9175492 |
| [the distribution of leptospirae in the icterohaemorrhagiae serogroup]. | the capacity of leptospiras to get acclimated in the organism of unusual hosts has been studied. cultures of icterohaemorrhagiae from musquashes, house mice and field voles have been isolated of leptospirosis sources under intensive epizootics among rats. a possibility to reproduce leptospira carrying by the cultures of leptospirae of serogroup icterohaemorrhagiae in musquashes and water voles has been shown. one can conclude that under icterohemorrhagic leptospirosis musquashes and water voles ... | 1997 | 9221063 |
| basal metabolic rate in relation to body composition and daily energy expenditure in the field vole, microtus agrestis. | basal metabolic rate in the field vole (microtus agrestis) was studied in relation to body composition and daily energy expenditure in the field. daily energy expenditure was measured by means of doubly labelled water (d2 18o). in the same individuals, basal metabolic rate was subsequently derived from o2 consumption in an open-circuit system in the laboratory. body composition was obtained by dissecting the animals and determining fresh, dry, and lean dry mass of different organs. daily energy ... | 2013 | 9231410 |
| investigations of pneumocystosis among humans and rodents in lithuania. | pneumocystosis (pneumocystis carinii pneumonia) is a parasitic disease which in lithuania used to be diagnosed only with the use of pathohistological methods. the aim of our study was to determine prevalence of p. carinii antibodies among children and women, using immunochemical method (elisa) and to find out which groups of patients have higher antibody titres. we also addressed the question of infection with p. carinii among rodents. after investigating 9 species of rodents it was found that m ... | 1997 | 9259608 |
| spontaneous and radiation-induced micronuclei in erythrocytes from four species of wild rodents: a comparison with cba mice. | almost 100 animals of 4 different species of small wild rodents (bank vole, clethrionomys glareolus; field vole, microtus agrestis; yellow-necked mouse, apodemus flavicollis; and wood mouse, apodemus sylvaticus) were trapped in central sweden and used in experiments to determine the spontaneous and radiation-induced frequencies of polychromatic (fmpce) and normochromatic erythrocytes (fmnce) from bone marrow (bm) and peripheral blood (pb) using flow cytometric analysis. the results were compared ... | 1997 | 9357562 |
| the effect of cowpox virus infection on fecundity in bank voles and wood mice. | although epidemic infectious diseases are a recognized cause of changes in host population dynamics, there is little direct evidence for the effect of endemic infections on populations. cowpox virus is an orthopoxvirus which is endemic in bank voles (clethrionomys glareolus), wood mice (apodemus sylvaticus) and field voles (microtus agrestis) in great britain. it does not cause obvious signs of disease nor does it affect survival, but in this study we demonstrate experimentally that it can reduc ... | 1997 | 9364786 |
| disturbances of the mineral incorporation in various species of mice and shrews in the emission area of a phosphate plant. | the cd emission of a phosphate plant was clearly reflected by the cd status of herbivorous european wood mice and common field voles as well as of european shrews taking in mostly animal food. the antagonistic effect of the emitted cd and mo better available for plants with high ground ph most probably caused the deterioration in the cu status of the animals of both phases in the nutritional chain. the lower ca, p, and mg incorporation with european wood mouse and common field vole within the co ... | 1997 | 9404674 |
| pattern of x-y chromosome pairing in the japanese field vole, microtus montebelli. | pairing of x and y chromosomes at meiotic prophase in males of microtus montebelli was analyzed. the sex chromosomes form a synaptonemal complex at pachytene and end-to-end association at diakinesis-metaphase i in two species of the genus microtus (m. montebelli and m. oeconomus) only, while they do not pair at all in the other species of this genus that have been studied so far. these data confirm that m. montebelli and m. oeconomus are very closely related in their origin. it is suggested that ... | 1997 | 9449794 |
| postnatal development of the masseter muscles in the japanese field vole microtus montebelli, with special attention to differentiation of the fast-twitch oxidative fiber. | postnatal development and differentiation of the masseter muscles consisting only of fast-twitch oxidative (fo) fibers in the adult japanese field vole microtus montebelli were studied using histochemical and electron microscopic techniques. the masseter muscles were composed of myotubes and muscle fibers at day 0 (birth day). most muscle cells showed the strong reaction for myosin atpase after both alkaline and acid preincubations. for nadh-dehydrogenase (nadh-dh), small granular diformazan dep ... | 1997 | 9450394 |
| serosurvey for orthopoxviruses in rodents and shrews from norway. | two hundred and twenty one blood samples representing eight different rodent species and the common shrew (sorex araneus), collected in norway between 1993 and 1995, were examined for anti-orthopoxvirus antibodies by a competition enzyme linked imunnosorbent assay (elisa) and, when possible, an indirect immunofluorescence assay. the serological results indicated that the bank vole (clethrionomys glareolus), woodmouse (apodemus sylvaticus) and norway lemming (lemmus lemmus) may be reservoir speci ... | 1998 | 9577770 |
| effects of a soft diet and hypothyroidism on the oxidative capacity of the masseter muscle fibers of the young japanese field vole microtus montebelli. | effects of a soft diet (reduction in mastication activity: an exogenous factor) and hypothyroidism (endogenous factors) on the oxidative capacity of the masseter muscles in the young japanese field vole microtus montebelli, consisting only of fast-twitch oxidative (fo) fibers in the adult vole, was investigated histochemically and electron microscopically. oxidative enzyme activity and mitochondrial development in the muscle fibers were not affected by a soft diet, while they were suppressed by ... | 1998 | 9615621 |
| beta-heterochromatin in mammals: evidence from studies in microtus agrestis based on the extensive accumulation of l1 and non-l1 retroposons in the heterochromatin. | the heterochromatin of microtus agrestis contains two retroposons, one l1 and one non-l1, which were cloned and analyzed with respect to their structure and genomic organization. these sequences have accumulated in the heterochromatin and exhibit a complex interspersed organization of relatively recent origin. in contrast, the pericentromeric heterochromatin is composed of simple, repetitive, tandemly organized elements. from the underlying sequences, the dinucleotide frequencies, the sequence o ... | 1998 | 9678352 |
| spatial asynchrony and periodic travelling waves in cyclic populations of field voles. | we demonstrate evidence for the presence of travelling waves in a cyclic population of field voles in northern britain by fitting simple, empirical models to spatially referenced time series data. population cycles were broadly synchronous at all sites, but use of mantel correlations suggested a strong spatial pattern along one axis at a projection line 72 degrees from north. we then fitted a generalized additive model to log population density assuming a fixed-form travelling wave in one spatia ... | 1998 | 9744104 |

| interspecific and intraspecific competition as causes of direct and delayed density dependence in a fluctuating vole population. | a 3- to 5-year cycle of vole abundances is a characteristic phenomenon in the ecology of northern regions, and their explanation stands as a central theoretical challenge in population ecology. although many species of voles usually coexist and are in severe competition for food and breeding space, the role of interspecific competition in vole cycles has never been evaluated statistically. after studying community effects on the population dynamics of the gray-sided vole (clethrionomys rufocanus ... | 1999 | 9927680 |
| seasonal dynamics of pneumocystis carinii in the field vole, microtus agrestis, and in the common shrew, sorex araneus, in finland. | seasonal dynamics of pneumocystis carinii in the field vole, microtus agrestis, and in the common shrew, sorex araneus, were investigated in southern and central finland by microscopical examination of methenamine silver-stained tissue sections. in both host species at both localities the number of p. carinii cyst forms was highest in late autumn (november). in s. araneus, prevalence was higher than in m. agrestis during all seasons. none of the animals was heavily infected or apparently ill, an ... | 1999 | 10070655 |
| immunocytochemical study of parafollicular (c) cells of the thyroid in some wild rodents. | studies were done on 3 wild species of rodents: field voles (microtus agrestis, linnaeus 1761), bank voles (clethrionomys glareolus, schreber 1780), and forest mice (apodemus flavicollis, melchior 1834). immunocytochemical reactions were used to detect calcitonin (ct), calcitonin gene-related peptide (cgrp), neuron-specific enolase (nse), chromogranin a (cga) in the thyroid parafollicular (c) cells in all species examined. antisera to human ct, rat cgrp, bovine cga, rat nse and human nse give pr ... | 1999 | 10332521 |

| cowpox: reservoir hosts and geographic range. | it is generally accepted that the reservoir hosts of cowpox virus are wild rodents, although direct evidence for this is lacking for much of the virus's geographic range. here, through a combination of serology and pcr, we demonstrate conclusively that the main hosts in great britain are bank voles, wood mice and short-tailed field voles. however, we also suggest that wood mice may not be able to maintain infection alone, explaining the absence of cowpox from ireland where voles are generally no ... | 1999 | 10459650 |
| male short-tailed field voles (microtus agrestis) build better insulated nests than females. | nest construction is an extremely widespread behaviour. in small endotherms the nest serves primarily to provide insulation, and thereby retard heat loss of the constructor, or its offspring. in arctic and temperate regions many small mammals build nests to protect themselves from low ambient temperatures. we measured the physical properties of nests built by short-tailed field voles microtus agrestis that were kept in captivity under cold conditions. the most important factor influencing nest i ... | 1999 | 10633563 |
| disease patterns in field and bank vole populations during a cyclic decline in central finland. | declining field vole (microtus agrestis) and bank vole (clethrionomys glareolus) populations were sampled (117 field voles and 34 bank voles) in south-central finland during the winter of 1988-89. the last surviving field voles were caught in april and bank voles in february. a subsample (16) of the april field voles were taken live to the laboratory for immunosuppression. the histopathology of the main internal organs and the presence of aerobic bacteria and certain parasites were studied. in t ... | 2000 | 10670697 |
| genetic and morphological heterogeneity in small rodent whipworms in southwestern europe: characterization of trichuris muris and description of trichuris arvicolae n. sp. (nematoda: trichuridae). | genetic and morphological variability of whipworms trichuris roederer, 1761 (nematoda: trichuridae), parasites of small rodents in southwestern europe, was studied. isozyme patterns of natural populations of nematodes parasitizing rodent species of the muridae (apodemus sylvaticus, apodemus flavicollis, mus musculus) and arvicolidae (clethrionomys glareolus, microtus agrestis, microtus arvalis) were analyzed at 6 putative loci. two diagnostic loci were found in t. muris from muridae and from arv ... | 2000 | 10864238 |
| effect of long-term cold exposure on antioxidant enzyme activities in a small mammal. | aerobic organisms continually face exposure to reactive oxygen species (ros) and many have evolved sophisticated antioxidant systems to effectively remove them. any increase in ros production or weakening in this defense system may ultimately lead to oxidative stress and cellular damage. we investigated whether long-term cold exposure, which is known to lead to an elevation in metabolic rate, increased the activities of the ros-scavenging enzymes, catalase (cat), selenium-dependent glutathione p ... | 2000 | 10889458 |
| role of small mammals in the persistence of louping-ill virus: field survey and tick co-feeding studies. | louping-ill (li) is a tick-borne viral disease of red grouse, lagopus lagopus scoticus lath. (tetraonidae: galliformes), and sheep, ovis aries l. (bovidae: artiodactyla), that causes economic loss to upland farms and sporting estates. unvaccinated sheep, grouse and mountain hares, lepus timidus l. (leporidae: lagomorpha), are known to transmit li virus, whereas red deer, cenrus elaphus l. (cervidae: artiodactyla), and rabbits, oryctolagus cuniculus l.

| can non-shivering thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue following na injection be quantified by changes in overlying surface temperatures using infrared thermography? | we aimed to investigate whether infra red thermography (irt) can be used to measure and quantify non-shivering thermogenesis (nst) in the short-tailed field vole microtus agrestis, by directly comparing it with a standard method, i.e. metabolic response following noradrenaline injection (na). mean skin surface temperature overlying brown adipose tissue (bat) depot was 0.82 degrees c higher than mean surface temperature that did not overly bat. the difference in temperature increased by 1.26 degr ... | 2001 | 11163923 |
| differences in the meiotic pairing behavior of gonosomal heterochromatin between female and male microtus agrestis: implications for the mechanism of heterochromatin amplification on the x and y. | it is generally thought that pairing and recombination between the x and y chromosome in eutherian mammals is important for the occurrence of normal meiotic division and the production of functional gametes. microtus agrestis is one of the examples whose giant and heterochromatin-rich sex chromosomes fail to establish a durable association at any stage of the first meiotic division in males. in contrast, in females, synapsis starts in the euchromatic short arm and pairing progresses unidirection ... | 2000 | 11173866 |
| hypothalamo-neurohypophysial magnocellular neuroendocrine system of field voles after acute heat or cold stress. | hypothalamo-neurohypophysial magnocellular neuroendocrine system (h-nh mc nes) of field voles was described in normal conditions and after acute heat or cold stress. 60 mature males of field voles were used for examinations after 2 weeks of adaptation to stable conditions of laboratory keeping. 10 animals were the controls. another group of 25 field voles were subjected to sudden cold of -15 degrees c for 3 hours. the third group of 25 field voles were subjected to sudden heat of +32 degrees c f ... | 2000 | 11712427 |
| generation of periodic waves by landscape features in cyclic predator-prey systems. | the vast majority of models for spatial dynamics of natural populations assume a homogeneous physical environment. however, in practice, dispersing organisms may encounter landscape features that significantly inhibit their movement. we use mathematical modelling to investigate the effect of such landscape features on cyclic predator-prey populations. we show that when appropriate boundary conditions are applied at the edge of the obstacle, a pattern of periodic travelling waves develops, moving ... | 2002 | 11886619 |
| bisphenol a affects endocrine physiology and biotransformation enzyme activities of the field vole (microtus agrestis). | bisphenol a (bpa), an environmental estrogen, was given subcutaneously for 4 days to 48 field voles at three doses (10, 50, or 250 mg kg(-1) day(-1)). plasma sex steroids, thyroxine, weight-regulatory hormones, and liver biotransformation enzymes were determined. there was no mortality in the control group but the mortality in the bpa-exposed animals was significant. bpa increased the plasma testosterone concentrations at 250 mg bpa kg(-1) day(-1). the plasma ghrelin levels measured from pooled ... | 2002 | 12030774 |
| antioxidant enzyme activities, lipid peroxidation, and dna oxidative damage: the effects of short-term voluntary wheel running. | we examined the effect of voluntary exercise on antioxidant enzyme activities (catalase, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase) in skeletal muscle (hind- and forelimb) and heart of a model small mammal species: short-tailed field vole microtus agrestis. in addition, dna oxidation was determined in lymphocytes and hepatocytes using the comet assay and lipid peroxidation estimated in hindlimb muscle by measurement of thiobarbituric-acid-reactive substances. voles (approximately 6 weeks old) ... | 2002 | 12054476 |
| the consequences of acute cold exposure on protein oxidation and proteasome activity in short-tailed field voles, microtus agrestis. | during cold exposure, animals upregulate their metabolism and food intake, potentially exposing them to elevated reactive oxygen species (ros) production and oxidative damage. we investigated whether acute cold (7 +/- 3 degrees c) exposure (1, 10, or 100 h duration) affected protein oxidation and proteasome activity, when compared to warm controls (22 +/- 3 degrees c), in a small mammal model, the short-tailed field vole microtus agrestis. protein carbonyls and the chymotrypsin-like proteasome a ... | 2002 | 12106821 |
| comparison of glycoprotein hormone alpha-subunits of laboratory animals. | the common alpha-subunit of glycoprotein hormones (cgalpha) is a core protein shared by follicle-stimulating hormone (fsh), luteinizing hormone (lh), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (tsh). in order to obtain a molecular basis for an efficient superovulation technique applicable to a wide range of animal species and to discuss the phylogenetic aspect based on molecules related to the reproductive system, we determined cdna sequences of cgalpha in seven laboratory animals: the guinea pig, mongolia ... | 2002 | 12112597 |
| mycobacterium microti infection (vole tuberculosis) in wild rodent populations. | mycobacterium microti (vole tuberculosis) infections in small wild mammals were first described more than 60 years ago in several populations in great britain. few studies of vole tuberculosis have been undertaken since then, and little is known about the relationship between m. microti isolates originating from different populations or at different times or of the prevalence of this infection in wild rodent populations, despite human cases of m. microti infections being increasingly reported. i ... | 2002 | 12202566 |
| rodent host specificity of european hantaviruses: evidence of puumala virus interspecific spillover. | in order to investigate rodent host specificity of european hantaviruses, experimental infection of colonized and wild-trapped rodents was performed. in addition to the natural rodent reservoir, clethrionomys glareolus, puumala hantavirus (puuv) could infect colonized microtus agrestis and lemmus sibiricus, but not syrian hamsters or balb/c mice. neither c. glareolus, nor m. agrestis, could be readily infected by tula hantavirus (tulv). wild-trapped apodemus flavicollis and a. agrarius, the natu ... | 2002 | 12376967 |
| demographic, mechanistic and density-dependent determinants of population growth rate: a case study in an avian predator. | identifying the determinants of population growth rate is a central topic in population ecology. three approaches (demographic, mechanistic and density-dependent) used historically to describe the determinants of population growth rate are here compared and combined for an avian predator, the barn owl (tyto alba). the owl population remained approximately stable (r approximately 0) throughout the period from 1979 to 1991. there was no evidence of density dependence as assessed by goodness of fit ... | 2002 | 12396509 |
| copy and paste: the impact of a new non-l1 retroposon on the gonosomal heterochromatin of microtus agrestis. | mobile elements are most abundant in the mammalian genome, comprising at least 40-50% of the dna. they are differentiated into two most prominent families: the line elements, which are preferentially located in the g-bands, and sines, which are clustered in the r-bands. we report here a novel mammalian non-l1-retroposon, which invaded the genome of microtus agrestis in a very short time from an evolutionary viewpoint. no relevant sequence homology could be demonstrated to known sequences in the ... | 2002 | 12438796 |
| phylogeography of field voles (microtus agrestis) in eurasia inferred from mitochondrial dna sequences. | in a distribution-wide phylogeographic survey of the field vole (microtus agrestis), 75 specimens from 56 localities across eurasia were examined for dna sequence variation along the whole 1140 base pair (bp) mitochondrial (mt) cytochrome b gene. the species is subdivided into three main mtdna phylogeographic groups - western, eastern and southern - with largely allopatric distributions. the western phylogeographical group is found in west and central europe and spread most probably from a glaci ... | 2002 | 12453244 |
| proliferating cell nuclear antigen (pcna) expression in tooth primordia in the field vole (microtus agrestis, rodentia). | cell proliferation in developing tooth germs has been studied particularly using bromodeoxyuridine (brdu) incorporation into growing tooth primordia and by counting and three-dimensional (3d) reconstruction of mitoses in serial sections of developing teeth. pcna has been proposed as an alternative marker of proliferation activity. the aim of our study was to detect immunohistochemically locations of pcna-positive cells in developing tooth germs of microtus agrestis (rodentia). pcna expression co ... | 2002 | 12489149 |
| the lateral enamel lamina--component of tooth primordia in selected mammalian species. | the lateral enamel lamina (lel) is a part of the enamel organ, which is probably not involved in tooth formation. it represents, besides the "stalk" of the tooth primordium, a second interconnection between enamel organ and oral epithelium or vestibular lamina. we detected the lel in the sheep (ovis aries), the dolphin (stenella attenuata), and the vole (microtus agrestis) by light microscopy and computer-aided three-dimensional reconstruction. the lel could be found in cap to bell stage tooth p ... | 2002 | 12494916 |
