[possible atypical course of tularemia (persistence) in the common vole microtus arvalis pall].the possibility of the atypical course of tularemia with the prolonged persistence of francisella tularensis in common voles (m. arvalis), the twin species of east european voles (m. rossiaemeridionalis), was studied. experiments were made on 33 animals grown in the laboratory. f. tularensis strain 165 was used. the animals were infected by feeding them according to the previously developed scheme. 7 out of 33 voles showed the atypical course of tularemia: in 3 voles the disease took a prolonged ...19873296576
[changes in the synthesis of the virion antigen of the tick-borne encephalitis virus after passage through ixodid ticks and small mammals].large-plaque strains of tick-borne encephalitis (tbe) virus possess a high peripheral activity, and in acute infection in continuous pig embryo kidney cells (pek) synthesize a virion antigen (va) whose subpopulations differ in their mobility in agarose gel electrophoresis: the bulk portion of va moves towards the cathode and a small one towards the anode. after long-term passages of these strains in ixodid ticks they lose their peripheral activity and produce only small plaques. in reproduction ...19873318134
isolation of members of the haemophilus-pasteurella-actinobacillus group from feral rodents.46 feral rodents, including a common vole (microtus arvalis), house mice (mus musculus), muskrats (ondatra zibetica), house rats (rattus rattus) and brown rats (r. norvegicus) were examined for bacteria of the haemophilus-pasteurella-actinobacillus group. haemophilus spp. (only m. musculus examined) were not obtained. all animal species were found contaminated by p. pneumotropica and/or actinobacillus spp. almost all m. musculus (96%) and most rattus spp. (76%) were contaminated by p. pneumotrop ...19863512906
the hair of the common hare (lepus europaeus pall.) and of the common vole (microtus arvalis pall.) as indicator of the environmental pollution.we made the inaa of hair of the common hare (lepus europaeus pall.) and of the common vole (microtus arvalis pall.) living in the emission zones. both the hare and the vole are almost exclusively herbivores; they consume relatively large amounts of contaminated food and mirror reliably the contamination degree of the respective ecosystem. the use of free-living animals for the control of the environmental quality may complete effectively the information obtained by examination of habitants. thou ...19863517159
[intermediate hosts of echinococcus multilocularis in northeastern france. description of lesions found in 3 naturally infested rodent species].the authors describe lesions of echinococcus multilocularis larvae found in one of 476 clethrionomys glareolus and one of 16 arvicola terrestris examined from lorraine and in four microtus arvalis from jura. the receptivity of each of these host-species is discussed.19863524402
[external structure of cuticle injuries and larval mouth parts of the chiggers euschoengastia rotundata and neotrombicula vulgaris (trombiculidae)].when e. rotundata larvae parasitize the abdominal part of the body of their host (clethrionomys glareolus), capsules with round terminal opening are formed from which hind part of the mite's body projects forwards. organization of the capsules shows that their walls are formed by a substance (probably by larval saliva) which differs from host's tissues. at the bottom of the capsules there are larval adhesive sites with openings in the proximal parts of stylostomes which resemble in their structu ...20073528991

[increased risk of infection by echinococcus multilocularis for people in the endemic "schwaebische alb" region?].the infestation by the larva of echinococcus multilocularis, also known as alveolar echinococcosis, is the most dangerous parasitic disease of man in middle europe. this is due to the location in the liver but still more so because of the proliferative and infiltrating growth of the larval tissue. the basic infective cycle of the parasite is a zoonosis between foxes as final hosts and small rodents such as common voles as intermediate hosts. man can be a false intermediate host and thus a carrie ...19853901604
[towards a strategy for the epidemiological study of alveolar echinococcosis. apropos of cases of infestation seen in microtus arvalis p. in the doubs (france)].the aim of the authors is to give some precisions about the relationship between the cycle of echinococcus multilocularis and the dynamics of the different potential hosts (rodents and carnivorous) existing on the area under study (sept-fontaines, doubs, france), by analysing the results of rodents trapping operation (mainly on microtus arvalis) some of it are infested by the parasite. for this purpose they include the parasite in a prey-predator system and show how the behavioural pattern of th ...19853909889
[1st cases of adiaspiromycosis observed in small mammals in turkey. 3 new host species].the authors examine the lungs of 193 small mammals caught in different places in west turkey and belonging to 11 different species. six species have one or many adiaspores in their lungs. those are microtus arvalis, apodemus flavicollis and a. sylvaticus already found parasited by chrysosporium parvum in many countries particularly france. these are m. guentheri, pitymys majori and a. mystacinus which have never been mentioned before this day having adiaspiromycosis.19853986950
