| high prevalence of rickettsia spp. infections in small mammals in taiwan. | surveillance for rickettsia spp. is urgently needed due to the recent emergence of many novel rickettsioses around the globe, but previous studies in taiwan have been limited to small areas and no investigation of infections in vertebrate hosts has ever been attempted. we surveyed rickettsial infections systematically in small-mammal hosts trapped between 2006 and 2010 throughout taiwan. fragments of ompb and glta genes in the liver, spleen, and kidney of mammals were targeted by nested polymera ... | 0 | 25629776 |
| prevalence of sftsv among asian house shrews and rodents, china, january-august 2013. | to evaluate the role of small mammals as hosts of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (sftsv), we tested serum samples from rodents and shrews in china, collected in 2013. sftsv antibodies and rna were detected, suggesting that rodents and shrews might be hosts for sftsv. | 0 | 25418111 |

| ovarian hormone: lack of effect on reproductive structures of female asian musk shrews. | uterine and vaginal weights and histologies are not altered by ovariectomy or estrogen treatment in the asian musk shrew (suncus murinus). in addition, ovariectomized shrews mate. thus, the role of ovarian hormones in the control of the reproductive status of this species does not conform to the accepted mammalian pattern. | 1977 | 887921 |
| fine structure of spermatozoa of the asiatic musk shrew, suncus murinus. | the fine structure of spermatozoa of the asian musk shrew, suncus murinus, has been investigated using air-dried and critical-point-dried replicas in addition to freeze-fractured specimens. asymmetry in the structure of the head, notable the acrosome, can be recognized in critical-point-dried replicas as a slight dorsoventral convexity not apparent in air-dried specimens. freeze-etching reveals a dense accumulation of intramembranous particles just anterior to the posterior ring, but relatively ... | 1977 | 879041 |

| comparative cytoarchitectonic study of gudden's tegmental nuclei in some mammals. | the structure and location of the dorsal and ventral tegmental nuclei of gudden were studied in brains of 12 species of mammals. the ventral tegmental nucleus of gudden is composed of oval or polygonal, medium-sized, well-stained cells, and includes the pars principalis situated ventral to the fasciculus longitudinalis medialis, and the pars suprafascicularis in the central gray matter dorsal to the fasciculus longitudinalis medialis (in the golden hamster, mouse, vole, and house shrew). the dor ... | 1983 | 6345599 |
| [length and weight of gastrointestinal tracts of pikas, suncus, millardias, mice and rats]. | the length and weight of gastrointestinal tracts including contents of ten week old male pikas (ochotona rufescens rufescens) and suncus (suncus murinus) were measured and they were investigated and compared with those of millardias, icr-mice and wistar-rats. the length from the duodenum to the anus of pikas was much longer and the weight from the stomach to the anus was about 16g per 100g of body weight. the weight of cecum was about 7g per body weight and they were heavier than those of other ... | 1983 | 6852120 |
| some observations on the structure of suncus liver with special reference to the vitamin a-storing cell. | the structure of the liver of the thick-tailed shrew (suncus murinus) was studied with special reference to the vitamin a-storing cell. the macroscopic arrangement of hepatic lobes was the same as those of rodents. connective tissues of glisson's sheath were not prominent. there were gradual differences in the size and the cytoplasmic contents of hepatocytes among perihepatic, intermediate, and periportal regions. these correspond to the acinar zones 3, 2, and 1 of rappaport, respectively. the u ... | 1983 | 6613904 |

| mammary growth and plasma progesterone level during pregnancy in the house musk shrew, suncus murinus linnaeus. | the process of growth of the mammary gland and change in the plasma concentration of progesterone were investigated throughout the course of pregnancy (30 days) in the home musk shrew, suncus murinus l. development of the mammary gland of the musk shrew was limited during the first half of pregnancy. extensive branching of ducts and conspicuous alveolar formation and a marked increase in the dna content of the gland started between day 15 and 20 of pregnancy, and continued until term. milk synth ... | 1983 | 6671463 |

| an androgen-dependent pilosebaceous tumor spontaneously developed in the japanese house musk shrew suncus murinus. | following administration of [3h]testosterone to castrated male japanese house musk shrews (suncus murinus), radioactive metabolites were detected in sidegland nuclei and the major one of them was dihydrotestosterone (dht). the androgen binding capacity of the cytoplasmic fraction of sideglands was measured in vitro by the use of [3h]r1881 as a ligand. the binding showed a high affinity for r1881 (kd = 6.2 x 10(-10) m) and a low capacity (bmax = 22 fmol/mg protein). sucrose density gradient centr ... | 1983 | 6604195 |
| osteology of the musk shrew (suncus murinus). | in the present study using 29 adult musk shrew of both sexes, most findings were identified to be similar to those by sharma (1958) on the osteology , and there was no remarkable difference between skeletal structure of wild musk shrew in india and that of breeding species in japan except the number of the vertebra lumbalis and existance of the dens caninus . however, it was elucidated that the os articulare coccygis like h-letter in shape is characteristic for this animal, and shows 17 componen ... | 1984 | 6721174 |
| fine structure of the lutein cell in the house musk shrew, suncus murinus. | the ultrastructure of lutein cells during pregnancy and the post partum period was examined by transmission electron microscopy in the house musk shrew, suncus murinus. lutein cells on day 13 of pregnancy contained an extensive system of anastomosing tubules or cisternae of smooth er and many enlarged mitochondria with numerous tubulovesicular cristae. from day 13 on, the number of small granules, possibly lysosomes, increased gradually. between day 20 and 25, the loss of smooth er began and elo ... | 1984 | 6525615 |
| the median and lateral substantia gelatinosa in the cervical cord of the musk shrew (suncus murinus) and its synaptic composition. | the extent and laminar arrangement of the substantia gelatinosa (sg) were examined in the cervical spinal cord of the shrew. between c1 and c6 or c7 the three dorsal layers on either side of the gray matter were confluent at the commissura posterior grisea in shrews of both sexes. lamina i was thin with no large marginal cells. lamina ii comprised the major part of the sg, consisting of outer cellular and inner neuropil layers. lamina iii was composed of a meshwork of axon terminals, dendritic p ... | 1984 | 6476406 |
| genetic variants found in plasma alpha-amylase and erythrocyte carbonic anhydrase in the musk shrew (suncus murinus). | genetic variants of plasma alpha-amylase and erythrocyte carbonic anhydrase in the musk shrew (suncus murinus) were found by electrophoreses using cellulose acetate plates. it was demonstrated that phenotypic differences of alpha-amylase are controlled by two codominant alleles (amy-1a and amy-1b) at a single autosomal locus (amy-1). the segregation data of the carbonic anhydrase phenotypes in the progeny supported the genetic theory of two codominant alleles (car-1a and car-1b) at a single auto ... | 1984 | 6432562 |
