| concentric lamellated psammoma-like bodies in the third ventricle of the european mole rat (spalax leucodon, nordmann 1840). | concentric lamellated bodies are described in the third ventricle of the european mole rat. these bodies show most staining characteristics of true psammoma bodies found in humans but were never calcified in the mole rat. | 1978 | 80912 |
| vacuolated pinealocytes in the hedgehog (erinaceus europaeus l.) and the mole (talpa europaea l.). | special cells in the hedgehog and mole pineal gland which are characterized by an enormous single vacuole were studied. the presence of secretory granules (in the hedgehog) and of paracrystalline structures (in the mole) in the cytoplasm of these cells indicates that they are pinealocytes. | 1975 | 167972 |
| a (comparative study on the nasal fossae of tupaia glis and four insectivores. | the macro- and microscopic anatomy of the nasal fossa of tupaia glis was compared with those of some insectivores. no significant group differences were found as far as the intranasal structures are concerned. since the number of receptor cells in the olfactory epithelium of tupaia glis and talpa europaea is smaller than in the other species studied, a slight reduction of the sense of smell is suggested. | 1977 | 416730 |
| morphogenesis of the fetal membranes of an american mole, scalopus aquaticus. | scalopus membranes are characterized by: superficial nidation; antimesometrial orientation of the embryonic disc; amniogenesis by folding; an extensive but transitory choriovitelline placenta; a large yolk sac with late and incomplete inversion; large persistent allantoic vesicle; a very broad, thin, villous, epitheliochorial chorioallantoic placenta of annular shape interrupted mesometrially, dotted with numerous areolae, and bordered by a nonvillous sparsely vascular chorioallantoic membrane c ... | 1979 | 463791 |
| the organization of testicular interstitial tissue and changes in the fine structure of the leydig cells of european moles (talpa europaea) throughout the year. | seasonal changes of the testicular interstitial tissue were studied by electron microscopy. during the breeding season in spring, clusters of leydig cells are surrounded by wide lymphatic sinusoids. in sexually quiescent moles, these sinusoids collapse, and the abundant leydig cells become closely packed and occupy most of the testis. during sexual activity, the leydig cells contain abundant smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ser), mitochondria with tubular cristae, and lipid droplets. some areas of ... | 1978 | 633202 |
| seasonal changes in testosterone levels and androgen-dependent organs in male moles (talpa europaea). | seasonal changes in testicular and plasma testosterone levels and in androgen-dependent organs were determined in moles breeding at 53 degrees n. although the testes contain up to 30 times more testosterone during spermatogenesis than during sexual quiescence, appreciable quantities of this hormone are present during late summer and early autumn. annual spermatogenesis lasts for only 2 months, but in some moles spermatozoa remain in the epididymis for up to 3 months after the testes have begun t ... | 1978 | 633203 |
| [the facial muscles of insectivora. i. erinaceus europaeus and talpa europaea]. | this investigation includes the area of n. facialis in erinaceus europaeus and talpa europaea. it is indicated that the topography of muscles diverges considerably from the equally conditions in rodentia, carnivora, and ungulata. the dorsal length musculature thus is an almost undivided mass of muscles in the 2 investigated species as also the laterally and ventrally situated musculature at certain points diverges from the conditions within other above mentioned animal groups. | 1978 | 689348 |
| apical protuberances of supporting cells in the regio olfactoria of the mole, talpa europaea, linnaeus, 1758 (insectivora, talpidae). | the regio olfactoria of the mole, talpa europaea, was studied by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. peculiar structural differentiations, i.e. ovoid-shaped, balloon-like protuberances were found on the surface of the supporting cells. the apical portion of these protuberances contained finely dispersed granular material, whereas in their central part vesicular extensions of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum were observed. | 1978 | 719712 |

| the pineal gland of the mole (talpa europaea l.). ii. ultrastructural variations observed in the pinealocytes during different parts of the sexual cycle. | changes of some ultrastructural parameters (paracrystalline structures, golgi apparatus, secretory granules) in mole pinealocytes were quantitatively studied during the various phases of the sexual cycle. an increase in quantity of paracrystalline structures and of the golgi appratuses was demonstrated during the period of high sexual activity in male pinealocytes and during oestrus, gestation and lactation in female pinealocytes. moreover, the appearance of vacuoles in female pinealocytes was o ... | 1975 | 1165488 |
| [comparative macro- and microscopic anatomy of the nasal cavity of european insectivores]. | the topography of the nasal fossa and its epithelium were studied in 4 european insectivores, sorex araneus l., crocidura russula (hermann), talpa europaea l. and erinaceus europaeus l. the following results were obtained: 1. the length of the nasal capsules is in relation to the length of the head in all 4 species the same. 2. the noses of all forms studies, except e. europaeus are very similar because of the trunk-shaped pars anterior nasi. 3. the numbers of turbinals are constant. 4. of all t ... | 1975 | 1241682 |
| the pineal gland of the mole (talpa europaea l.) iii. a fluorescence histochemical study. | the pineal gland of the mole, a mammal which lives in permanent darkness, has been studied using fluorescence histochemistry. an extensive catecholaminergic innervation is demonstrated. a yellow formaldehyde-induced fluorescence, characteristic of indoleamines, was not observed. if formaldehyde vapour treatment was omitted in the procedure, numerous cells containing yellow-orange autofluorescent material could be shown. the nature and possible function of this material is discussed. | 1976 | 1248027 |
| fine structural changes in the epididymal epithelium of moles (talpa europaea) throughout the year. | the epididymis of the european mole (talpa europaea) was studied by light and electron microscopy. in the sexually active animal, spermatozoa mature during their passage through the epididymis and the structure of the cells lining the duct suggests a clear regional division into initial, middle and terminal segments. numerous intra-epithelial vesicles were present in the distal part of the middle segment of sexually active moles and the lining epithelium in the terminal segment appeared to be se ... | 1976 | 1271373 |
| [immunohistochemical and ultrastructural study of endocrine cells from the pyloric region of the european mole (talpa europaea)]. | the distribution and the morphology of some endocrine cells (gastrin, somatostatin and 5-ht immunoreactive) in the pyloric region were studied in the talpa europaea, an insectivore representing one of the most primitive living eutherians. the immunohistochemical studies enabled us to identify and calculate the percentage of each cell type: the most numerous endocrine cells were gastrin immunoreactive; fairly numerous appeared somatostatin immunopositive; less numerous were 5-ht immunoreactive ce ... | 1991 | 1684697 |
| relation of the insular claustrum to the neocortex in insectivora. | the claustra of 9 species of insectivora (sorex araneus, sorex minutus, tenrec ecaudatus, solenodon paradoxus, neomys fodiens, erinaceus europaeus, talpa europaea, desmana moschata, potamogale velox) were investigated. in all examined animals we found two parts of the insular claustrum: the main part called by us the pars principalis and more medially situated lamina profunda claustri. in the "basal" insectivora the main part is in close contact with the layer via of the neocortex. in some more ... | 1990 | 1707077 |
| composition of the surface lipids from the european mole (talpa europaea). | the surface lipids of the european mole consist of squalene, monoester waxes, triglycerides and cholesterol. as shown by gc/ms analysis, the fatty acid moieties of both monoester waxes and triglycerides belong to saturated unbranched (omega-1)- and (omega-2)-methyl-substituted and unsaturated homologous series. double bonds are located at the 7/8- and 9/10-position. apart from the cis- also trans-isomers were found. the alcohol moieties of the monoester waxes consisted of saturated unbranched, ( ... | 2009 | 2039579 |
| developmental stages of cyclospora talpae in the liver and bile duct of the mole (talpa europaea). | the completed life-cycle of cyclospora talpae, an extra-intestinal coccidian (apicomplexa) of the liver of the mole (talpa europaea), is reported. oocysts sporulated within 12-14 days at room temperature (20-22 degrees c). both macro- and microgametocytes developed independently within the nucleus of epithelial cells lining the bile duct as demonstrated by both light and electron microscopy. merogony was seen in the mononuclear cells in the capillary sinusoids of the liver. merozoites showed the ... | 1990 | 2092291 |
| nucleus limitans thalami--comparative anatomical study. | cyto- and myeloarchitectonics as well as acetylcholinesterase activity of the nucleus limitans thalami--an important part of the nociceptive system--were studied in insectivora (sorex araneus, erinaceus europaeus, talpa europaeus), rat, rabbit, cat, monkey and man. our results suggest that nucleus limitans is phylogenetically a rather new structure. in insectivora and in the rat we could not find any evident group of neurons resembling nucleus limitans. in the rabbit and cat nucleus limitans is ... | 1989 | 2511740 |
| alpha, mu and pi glutathione s-transferases: species (talpa europaea) differences in their expression. | 1. tissue cytosols from talpa europaea were examined for their glutathione s-transferase isoenzyme content by chromatofocusing, inhibition and immunological techniques and the results compared with data from adult human tissue cytosols. 2. two sets of glutathione s-transferase isoenzymes were found in liver cytosol of talpa europaea, they demonstrated similar properties to human alpha and mu isoforms. 3. there was no evidence of expression of the pi isoenzyme set in any of the tissues studied an ... | 1989 | 2512050 |
| the testes of moles (talpa europaea) retain a considerable microsomal capacity for androgen synthesis during seasonal regression. | seasonal changes in testicular histology and steroidogenesis were investigated in the mole (talpa europaea). androgen synthesis was examined by incubating [4-14c]pregnenolone (p) and [4-14c]dehydroepiandrosterone (dha) with testicular minces in a static incubation system. the metabolites formed were characterized by thin-layer chromatography. morphological changes were studied by routine histological methods. during sexual quiescence spermatogenesis was arrested. the regressive seminiferous tubu ... | 1989 | 2531692 |
| ontogeny of relationship of middle ear and temporomandibular (squamomandibular) joint in mammals. ii. morphology and ontogeny in insectivores. | the ontogeny of the mandibular joint and the middle ear region was studied in erinaceus europaeus, sorex araneus, talpa europaea and elephantulus rozeti. during development, a passage connection was found between the mandibular condyle and meckel's cartilage that is produced by the primordium of the lateral pterygoid muscle. the articular disk is formed apart and it appears later in development. | 1989 | 2718717 |
| urine analysis of european moles talpa europaea and white rats rattus norvegicus kept on a carnivore's diet. | 1. the urine compositions of the european mole talpa europaea and of the white rat rattus norvegicus (albino) kept on a carnivore's diet were compared. 2. the urine of moles contained bicarbonate while that of rats kept on a carnivore's diet did not. 3. urine volume per 100 g body mass over 24 hr was significantly higher in the mole than in the rat. 4. the results of this study suggest that the mole, like other subterranean mammals on the one hand and caecal fermenters on the other, may use its ... | 1987 | 2890465 |
| golgi study of the isocortex in an insectivore: the common european mole (talpa europaea). | in the common european mole (talpa europaea) the isocortex is a six-layered structure representing about 50% of the total cerebral cortex. the internal granular layer is narrow in the occipital region, however, probably reflecting a poorly developed visual system in an animal adapted to life in a subterranean environment. golgi impregnation of projection cells and most local-circuit neurons of layers iii-vi suggests a relatively well-developed isocortex in this insectivore. the presence of extra ... | 1986 | 3036298 |
| a contribution to the parasite fauna in winter nests of the common mole (talpa europaea l.) and incidence of its infection with tick-borne encephalitis virus (tbe) and rickettsia coxiella burnetii. | a total of 45 winter nests of the common mole (talpa europaea l.) from the záhorska lowland (western slovakia) were investigated in january through march during the years 1981-1985. seven species of fleas with the eudominant species ctenophthalmus assimilis were found in them, the other species were subrecedent. the acarinium of the mole winter nests was composed of 19 mite species. predominant were euryphagous species haemogamasus nidi, h. hirsutus, eulaelaps stabularis and androlaelaps fahrenh ... | 1988 | 3169646 |

| immunocytochemical localization of actin in the sperm head of talpa europaea (insectivora). | actin in the sperm head of talpa europaea was observed by immunofluorescence and immunoelectron microscopy. the indirect immunofluorescence technique, using both anti-actin and dnase anti-dnase methods, showed a shining fluorescent band around the sperm head in some spermatozoa, whereas in others the fluorescence was found in the postacrosomal region. since no labeling was detected in sperms treated with nbd-phallacidin, it is likely that mature mole sperms contain g-actin but not f-actin. the r ... | 1986 | 3519305 |
| a coccidian in haemogamasid mites; possible vectors of elleipsisoma thomsoni franca, 1912. | haemogamasinae/laelapidae mites (haemogamasus hirsutus, h. nidi and eulaelaps stabularis) collected from nests of the mole (talpa europaea) contained developmental stages (isosporan-type oocysts and independently developing macro-and microgametocytes) of a coccidian. these stages were observed in the haemocoele of living infected mites, in wet preparations of crushed mites, and in histological sections of paraffin wax embedded mites. they included both unsporulated and sporulated oocysts; sporul ... | 1987 | 3592490 |
| evolution of crystallins: expression of lens-specific proteins in the blind mammals mole (talpa europaea) and mole rat (spalax ehrenbergi). | the mole (talpa europaea; insectivora) and the mole rat (spalax ehrenbergi; rodentia) both have degenerated eyes as a convergent adaptation to subterranean life. the rudimentary eye lenses of these blind mammals no longer function in a visual process. the crystallin genes, which display a lens-specific expression pattern, were studied in these blind mammals and in related species with normal eyes by hybridizing their genomic dnas with probes obtained from cdna clones for alpha a-, alpha b-, and ... | 1985 | 3870862 |

| a brief note on the morphological and histochemical features of the duodenal glands in 5 species of insectivore. | the duodenal glands of the insectivores studied form a narrow, compact glandular collar immediately distal to the pyloric sphincter. the duodenal glands generally empty into overlying intestinal glands however, in 2 species, suncus murinus and talpa europaea, they may empty directly into the intestinal lumen. the glands of all 5 species consist of coiled secretory tubules that show frequent distal branchings. cells of the secretory tubules are pyramidal in shape and show numerous apical secretor ... | 1980 | 7457897 |
| [toxoplasmosis causing death in a mole (talpa europaea)]. | pathologic lesions caused by toxoplasma gondii in a juvenile male common mole are described. main degenerative lesions are localized in liver, heart and lung combined with excessive proliferation of the typical microparasitic cysts. besides of this a moderate coccidiosis in the mucosa of bile ducts was diagnosed. | 1995 | 8593144 |
| genetic conflicts and the paradox of sex determination: three paths to the evolution of female intersexuality in a mammal. | that sex determining systems ever change is paradoxical but can be explained by noting that conflict between selfish elements and their modifiers will often cause a shift in sex determining strategy. the evolution of the novel sex determining system of moles (talpa europaea and t. occidentalis) may, we argue, be an example of just such a process. three different models for the evolution of female intersexuality are presented. these all attempt to account for (1) the fact that a few years ago pop ... | 1996 | 8762333 |
| females of four mole species of genus talpa (insectivora, mammalia) are true hermaphrodites with ovotestes. | we studied the anatomical, histological, and genetic features of the sexual tract in four european mole species of the genus talpa (insectivora, mammalia): t. occidentalis, t. europaea, t. romana, and t. stankovici. all xy individuals had a normal male phenotype, whereas all xx individuals in all four species had features that identified them as intersexes. these individuals were nonetheless presumed to be functionally fertile females. intersexuality was manifested mainly as gonadal hermaphrodit ... | 1996 | 8858598 |
| comparison of antihemorrhagic activities in skeletal muscle extracts from various animals against bothrops jararaca snake venom. | antihemorrhagic activities of skeletal muscle extracts from various animals were compared in inhibiting the hemorrhagic activity of bothrops jararaca venom. the muscle extracts of the european hedgehog (erinaceus europaeus) exhibited the strongest activity, followed by those of other insectivores such as the shrew (crocidura russula) and mole (talpa europaea). the antihemorrhagic activities of muscle extracts from experimental animals such as mice, rats, guinea-pigs, hamsters and rabbits were ne ... | 1998 | 9620591 |
| testis-like steroidogenesis in the ovotestis of the european mole, talpa europaea. | the female european mole (talpa europaea) presents a vivid paradox in relation to our contemporary understanding of mammalian sexual differentiation. these animals are exceptional among female mammals in that they possess bilateral ovotestes. the ovotestis contains a morphologically normal ovarian component that develops during the spring breeding season and a histologically defined testicular region, the interstitial gland, which enlarges during autumn when the ovarian component decreases in si ... | 1999 | 9916009 |
| are the semicircular canals of the european mole, talpa europaea, adapted to a subterranean habitat? | the mechanical sensitivity of vertebrate semicircular canals is directly influenced by the canal dimensions. three key canal parameters, whose dimensions have been shown to be critical in determining the mechanical sensitivity of semicircular canals, are the streamline length, the cross-sectional area of the canal lumen and the plane area. these parameters were measured in ten specimens of adult t. europaea and compared with the dimensions of the same parameters in r. norvegicus. the major deter ... | 1999 | 10425737 |
| the phylogenetic position of the talpidae within eutheria based on analysis of complete mitochondrial sequences. | the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of the mole talpa europaea was sequenced and included in phylogenetic analyses together with another lipotyphlan (insectivore) species, the hedgehog erinaceus europaeus, and 22 other eutherian species plus three outgroup taxa (two marsupials and a monotreme). the phylogenetic analyses reconstructed a sister group relationship between the mole and fruit bat artibeus jamaicensis (order chiroptera). the talpa/artibeus clade constitutes a sister clade of the ce ... | 2000 | 10666706 |
| molecular phylogeny of east asian moles inferred from the sequence variation of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene. | taxonomic analysis has previously revealed that the species of moles that inhabit japan are characterized by exceptional species richness and a high level of endemism. here, we focused on the evolutionary history of the four japanese mole species of the genera euroscapter and mogera, examining mitochondrial cytochrome b (cyt b) gene sequences and comparing them with those of continental mogera wogura (korean and russian populations), m. insularis from taiwan, and talpa europaea and t. altaica fr ... | 2000 | 10846617 |
| tissue, sex and age specific accumulation of heavy metals (zn, cu, pb, cd) by populations of the mole (talpa europaea l.) in a central urban area. | heavy metal accumulation was studied in urban populations of moles, talpa europaea l. (insectivora) at three sites along the "donaukanal" in vienna. kidneys, liver, lung, gonads, spleen, pancreas, femur, stomach + content, heart and skin were analysed for zn, cu, pb and cd contents. female moles showed higher zn concentrations in spleen, gonads and skin, higher cd concentrations in femur and stomach and lower cu content in kidneys compared to males. age classes were determined using teeth sectio ... | 2000 | 11057686 |
| a myxozoan-like parasite causing xenomas in the brain of the mole, talpa europaea l., 1758 (vertebrata, mammalia). | light and transmission electron microscopy revealed pericytes of brain capillaries of moles (talpa europaea l., 1758) as parasitized intracellularly. these host cells were enlarged and of globular or ellipsoid shape, and incorporated a cell-within-cell sequence of primary, secondary and, rarely found, tertiary developmental stages of an eukaryotic organism. other stages like spores were not discovered either in brain or in other organs. due to the vertebrate host, and the parasitic cells showing ... | 2000 | 11128799 |
| wildlife disease reservoirs: the epidemiology of mycobacterium bovis infection in the european badger (meles meles) and other british mammals. | mycobacterium bovis infection has been confirmed in a wide range of mammals hosts throughout the world. the european badger (meles meles) and the brushtail possum (trichosurus vulpecula) are implicated as significant sources of infection for domestic cattle in the uk and new zealand respectively. the risk of transmission of infection between a wildlife population and domestic animals will be determined by both the epidemiology of the disease and the ecology of the host. in the uk, surveys by the ... | 2001 | 11463223 |

| accumulation of heavy metals in the mole in finland. | metal concentrations (cu, ni, zn, cd, cr, hg, pb and mo) were analysed from the liver and kidneys of moles, talpa europaea l. (insectivora), trapped in southern finland on both contaminated and rural areas. in rural areas the concentrations of cd, cu, zn, pb and mo were lower in juveniles (individuals in their first summer), except for zn in the liver, which was lower in adults. when the animals were divided into annual classes (0-6 years), cd and mo concentrations in the liver increased signifi ... | 1993 | 15091866 |
| placentation in an american mole, scalopus aquaticus. | in 1938 mossman reported that epitheliochorial placentation occurred in an insectivore, the eastern mole. this led to a radical change in his thinking about placental evolution, yet 40 years would pass before the appearance of a definitive description. unpublished papers in the mossman collection at the university of wisconsin zoological museum tell a fascinating story about this delay. the scalopus material was studied by mossman's graduate student, m.r.n. prasad, who concluded that the placent ... | 2015 | 16085038 |
| the mole's thumb -- evolution of the hand skeleton in talpids (mammalia). | osteological specimens representing 15 out of the 16 currently recognized talpid genera were examined and scored for seven discrete morphological characters of the hand. the phylogenetic distribution of these characters was studied in the context of alternative hypotheses of talpid relationships, using three species of shrews and a hedgehog as outgroups. all talpids show a similar number and arrangement of carpal bones. the most obvious differences concern the presence of additional sesamoid bon ... | 2005 | 16351950 |
| effect of extracts from the chinese and european mole cricket on wound epithelialization and neovascularization: in vivo studies in the hairless mouse ear wound model. | until the end of world war ii, oily extracts from the european mole cricket, gryllotalpa gryllotalpa linné, were used for treating nonhealing wounds and burns. in traditional chinese medicine, extracts from the chinese mole cricket, gryllotalpa africana beauvois, have been used to treat boils, abscesses, and ulcers successfully for over two centuries and are still being used today. the aim of this study was twofold: first, to measure the effect mole cricket extracts have on wound epithelializati ... | 2006 | 16630103 |
| scanning electron microscopy study of the lingual papillae in the european mole (talpa europea, l., talpidae). | the tongue in the adult european mole (talpa europea l.) was examined by scanning electron microscope. the elongated tongue with a rounded apex is about 12-13 mm in length and 3-4 mm in width. on the apex the shallow median groove is present. on the dorsal surface of the lingual mucosa two types of mechanical papillae and two types of gustatory papillae were observed. mechanical papillae are represented by numerous filiform papillae with a single process, covering the whole surface of the apex a ... | 2006 | 16677215 |
| early skeletal development in talpa europaea, the common european mole. | an ontogenetic series of 22 cleared and double-stained prenatal specimens was used to study the sequence of ossification of selected postcranial skeletal elements of talpa europaea. results were compared with nine other therian mammals, with alligator, chelydra, and lacerta as outgroups. using the event-pairing method, shifts in the onset of ossification in t. europaea, sus, and homo were identified. in t. europaea, the ossification of the cervical vertebrae starts before the metatarsals. in hom ... | 2006 | 16766861 |
