cyclodontostomum purvisi (syn. ancistronema coronatum) (nematoda: strongyloidea: chabertiidae) from rats of kalimantan and sulawesi, indonesia.	cyclodontostomum purvisi adams, 1933 (nematoda: strongyloidea: chabertiidae) was collected from the ceca of maxomys whiteheadi, leopoldamys sabanus, and niviventer cremoniventer of east kalimantan and eropeplus canus, paruromys dominator, and rattus hoffmanni (rodentia: muridae: murinae) in south sulawesi, indonesia. kalimantan and sulawesi are new localities for this nematode, and each of the sulawesian rats are new hosts. presence of the external corona radiata consisting of 8 bifid elements w ...	1994	8064538
[structural characteristics of certain rodents spines (rodentia: myomorpha, hystricomorpha)].	the architectonics of spines and hair was studied in neacomys spinosus, arvicanthis somalicus, leopoldamys sabanus, l. edwardsi, maxomys moi, m. surifer, niviventer fulvescens, n. confucianus, n. cremoriventer, acomys cahirinus, a. somalica, hystrix indica, h. cristata, atherurus macrourus, erethizon dorsatum, proechimys steerei, and lonchotrix emiliae. the presence of a dorsal longitudinal furrow covered by a modified cuticle is a common structural feature of spines in all studied species excep ...	2016	11525125
helminth infections in small mammals from ulu gombak forest reserve and the risk to human health.	a survey for small mammal parasites carried out in a secondary forest of ulu gombak, selangor, peninsula malaysia yielded the following animals: rattus bowersi (7), rattus tiomanicus jalorensis (2), maxomys rajah (12), maxoyms whiteheadi (3), leopoldamys sabanus(13), sundamys muelleri(10), lariscus insignis (1), sundasciurus tenuis (1) and tupaia glis (2). the following nematodes: capillaria hepatica, hepatojarakus malayae, trichostrongylus sp. and streptopharagus sp., the following cestodes: hy ...	2005	16883287
movement trajectories and habitat partitioning of small mammals in logged and unlogged rain forests on borneo.	1. non-volant animals in tropical rain forests differ in their ability to exploit the habitat above the forest floor and also in their response to habitat variability. it is predicted that specific movement trajectories are determined both by intrinsic factors such as ecological specialization, morphology and body size and by structural features of the surrounding habitat such as undergrowth and availability of supportive structures. 2. we applied spool-and-line tracking in order to describe mov ...	2006	16922857
diverse mhc iib allele repertoire increases parasite resistance and body condition in the long-tailed giant rat (leopoldamys sabanus).	genes of the major histocompatibility complex (mhc) code for key functions in the adaptive immune response of vertebrates and most of them show exceptionally high polymorphism. this polymorphism has been associated with the selection by diverse and changing parasite communities. we analysed mhc class iib diversity, gastrointestinal parasite load and body condition in the wild ranging tropical rat leopoldamys sabanus (thomas, 1887) under natural selection conditions in a highly variable rainfores ...	2009	19930637
ectoparasites of small mammals in four localities of wildlife reserves in peninsular malaysia.	field surveys of ectoparasites on rodents and scandents were conducted in four localities of wildlife reserves in peninsular malaysia from october 2008 to november 2009. a total of 16 animals comprising 5 species of hosts were caught and examined for ectoparasites. the hosts examined were maxomys rajah, maxomys whiteheadi, leopoldamys sabanus, lariscus insignis and tupaia glis. of these hosts, 9 genera, consisting of 14 species of ectoparasites were extracted. three species of ticks (ixodidae), ...	2011	22299462
acarine ectoparasites of panti forest reserve in johore, malaysia.	to identify the presence of acarine ectoparasites and determine whether there is any potential public health risk in panti forest reserve, johore, malaysia.	0	23569714
establishment of a molecular tool for blood meal identification in malaysia.	to establish a polymerase chain reaction (pcr) technique based on cytochrome b (cytb) gene of mitochondria dna (mtdna) for blood meal identification.	2012	23569902
diversity and composition of volant and non-volant small mammals in northern selangor state park and adjacent forest of peninsular malaysia.	volant and non-volant small mammals from three forest reserves, located inside and outside selangor state park, malaysia, were trapped and documented. a total of five-line transects, each 200 m long and a total of 100 collapsible cage traps, three harp traps and ten mist nets were deployed at each study site to capture rodents and bats species. the presence of 47 species of volant and non-volant mammals was documented with the highest abundant species being leopoldamys sabanus (n = 61). the fami ...	2020	32317855
