[an experimental study of mixed tularemia and omsk hemorrhagic fever infection in muskrats].musk-rats were infected simultaneously and at three-day interval with tularemia and omsk hemorrhagic fever (ohf); the course of this mixed infection under the mentioned conditions were studied. virological, microbiological and morphological data indicated that infection of musk-rats with ohf and tularemia caused development of mixed infection in them. a more severe course of mixed infection was associated with enhanced vascular affections caused by the action of the ohf virus. an inhibition of t ...1975175620
[comparative study in structure of myoglobins in semiaquatic animals: castor fiber, ondatra zibethica, lutra lutra].a degree of similarity in the structure of myoglobins in the semiaquatic animals (beaver, muskrat, otter) is shown by the finger-print method with the determination of amino acids content in peptides. it is established that about 2/3 of the acid sequence in the investigated myoglobins are invariable. an assumption is advanced that these regions of the structure are of most importance in the functional respect.19751216340
selenium in fly ash.selenium, at concentrations exceeding 200 parts per million (ppm) (dry weight), has been found in white sweet clover voluntarily growing on beds of fly ash in central new york state. guinea pigs fed such clover concentrated selenium in their tissues. the contents of the honey stomachs of bees foraging on this seleniferous clover contained negligible selenium. mature vegetables cultured on 10 percent (by weight) fly ash-amended soil absorbed up to 1 ppm of selenium. fly ashes from 21 states conta ...19761251212
the primary structure of muskrat pancreatic ribonuclease.pancreatic ribonuclease from muskrat (ondatra zibethica) was isolated and its amino acid sequence was determined from tryptic digests of the performic acid-oxidized and the reduced and aminoethylated enzyme. the peptides have been positioned in the sequence by homology with other ribonucleases. this could be done unambiguously for all peptides except arg-arg (tentative position 32-33) and ser-arg (tentative position 75-76). the amino acid sequences of the peptides were determined by the dansyl-e ...19761279085
experimental chlamydiosis in wild and domestic lagomorphs.chlamydia psittaci (strain m56, the agent of epizootic chlamydiosis of muskrats and hares) was highly lethal for the snowshoe hare (lepus americans) following intravenous inoculation, whereas the agent was much less virulent for cottontail (sylvilagus floridanus) and albino domestic rabbits (oryctolagus cuniculus). tissue titres of strain m56 were generally higher after 96 hr in the snowshoe hare than in tissues of the other lagomorphs. spleen, liver and bone marrow were apparently the chief sit ...1976933312
[behavior and sociology of the muskrat (ondatra zibethicus l.)].this description of the behaviour of the muskrat is the result of observations made in open-air pens and during the rearing of young animals in direct contact with man. the approximately 100 muskrats observed came from southern lower saxony (population immigrated down the river elbe). as the same facilities of observation had been used to study brown rats, it was possible to compare the behaviour of both species which showed fundamental differences.1976986736
rodent leptospirosis in colorado.a study was conducted to evaluate leptospirosis in brown rats (rattus norvegicus), muskrats (ondatra zibethicus) and mice (mus musculus) in southeastern larimer county, colorado. leptospira serotype icterohaemorrhagiae was isolated from fourteen of 143 feral brown rats, an infection rate of 9.8%. serological evidence of infection with this stereotype was found in 66.4% of the rats. serological evidence of l. serotype ballum infection was present in three of 17 muskrats. leptospires were seen in ...197616498868
[parasitic fauna of the muskrat from the upper ob' pine forest].the gamasid mites laelaps multispinosus and hirstionyssus isabellinus, flea ceratophyllus (megabotris) rectangulatus, trematodes plagiorchis proximus, p. eutamiatis, p. obensis, p. multiglandularis, quinqueserialis quinqueserialis and opisthorchis felineus, cestodes aprostotandria macrocephala and alveococcus multilocularis, larvae, were found in 78 specimens of ondatra zibethica from water bodies of the upper ob pine forest. the mite l. multispinosus is reported as the most abundant ectoparasit ...1977593723
contribution to the pathology of strobilocercosis (strobilocercus fasciolaris) in the liver of man and some animals.tissue reactions with liver strobilocercosis were studied in man, pheasant and muskrat on the basis of histological examination. microscopical changes in the liver induced by completely developed and still quite vital strobilocerci are very similar in all these hosts and in all cysts the parasite was enveloped by a fibrous capsule consisting of two layers. the development of regressive changes and the character of tissue reaction during the death of the parasite are discussed. strobilocercus fas ...1977856684
tyzzer's disease in wild-trapped muskrats in british columbia.a diagnosis of tyzzer's disease (bacillus piliformis infection) was made in a group of recently-trapped muskrats (ondatra zibethica). the major lesions consisted of enteritis and focal necrosis of the liver, with organisms resembling b. piliformis in hepatocytes on the periphery of these foci. the outbreak was associated with recent capture, housing, and the use of sulfaquinoxaline-medicated feed.1977864842
tyzzer's disease in muskrats: occurrence in free-living animals.tyzzer's disease was diagnosed in four muskrats (ondatra zibethica) found dead over a 2 month period in a single feed-house in a saskatchewan marsh. no dead animals were found elsewhere in the marsh, although several hundred apparently healthy animals were trapped during this period. similarities in the pathology and epizootiology of tyzzer's and errington's diseases of muskrats support an hypothesis that these diseases are a single entity.1978691125
[first results of an investigation on trichinosis in wildlife in france (1976--1977) (author's transl)].201 red foxes, 18 brown rats, 1 muskrat, 1 red squirrel, 1 wood mouse, 8 hares, 3 rabbits, 2 wild boars, 4 roe deers, 1 chamois, 3 reindeers (for farming) were examined by peptic digestion to detect trichinosis. eight foxes captured in the east and south-east of france were found infested by this parasite.1978742806
climatic variability and body size variation in the muskrats (ondatra zibethicus) of north america.patterns of geographic variation in nine morphological characters of adult muskrats (ondatra zibethicus) are investigated by multiple regression and canonical correlation analysis. three variables describing the annual precipitation regimen account for 16 to 33% of the variance in each of the skeletal measurements. highly variable precipitation patterns result in low rates of germination and survivorship for preferred aquatic food plants which in turn reduces average total food availability for ...197828309223
tyzzer's disease in muskrats: re-examination of specimens of hemorrhagic disease collected by paul errington.organisms typical of those seen in tyzzer's disease of muskrats (ondatra zibethica) were found in tissue sections from two muskrats found dead in iowa in 1947 by paul errington. these findings support further the hypothesis that errington's and tyzzer's diseases of muskrats are a single entity.1979522221
the initiation and maintenance of bradycardia in a diving mammal, the muskrat, ondatra zibethica.1. the cardiac and respiratory responses shown by muskrats in both unrestrained and restrained dives have been compared with responses elicited by stimulation of a number of cardio-depressant receptor inputs, in an attempt to determine which are most important in initiating and maintaining diving bradycardia. 2. in unrestrained voluntary dives heart rate fell from 310 +/- 3 to 54 +/- 3 beats min-1 in 1 to 2 sec, which was significantly below that seen in dives by restrained unanaesthetized or an ...1979469759
reduction of aquatic vegetation following the colonization of a northern swedish lake by the muskrat, ondatra zibethica.the muskrat (ondatra zibethica (l.)) utilizes emergent hydrophytes both for housebuilding and for food. the impact of these activities on stands of equisetum fluviatile l. in a northern swedish lake was investigated. the areas of open water created by the muskrats were estimated from infrared air photographs, taken in july, on three occasions during a five-year period. during the first three years, with low muskrat densities, the areas of open water were estimated to represent removal of about o ...197928309074

microsporidal encephalitis in muskrats.microsporida similar morphologically to encephalitozoon cuniculi were found in granulomatous foci in the brain of 5 of 29 wild-caught muskrats (ondatra zibethica) held in captivity for various periods of time, but not in any of 36 free-living muskrats examined. the significance and possible source of this infection are discussed.1979501846
the amino acid sequence of hamster pancreatic ribonuclease.the amino acid sequence of golden hamster pancreatic ribonuclease was determined by analysis of tryptic, chymotryptic, thermolytic, and cnbr peptides and by automatic sequence analysis of the intact protein. like all rnases with an asn-met-thr sequence at positions 34-36, hamster rnase is glycosylated at position 34 with a complex-type carbohydrated chain. val-17, ala-18, his-55, his-76 and ala-90 have never been observed in other pancreatic rnases. ala-90 replaces ser-90, which had been invaria ...1979518928
survey of q-fever agglutinins in birds and small rodents in northern california, 1975-76.serum samples from 15 species of rodents and 33 species of birds were tested for agglutinins against coxiella burnetii by the microagglutination test. of 759 rodents tested, 21 (3%) were seropositive. antibody positive rodents included muskrats, ondatra zebethica, (11%), rattus spp. (10%), beechey ground squirrels, otospermophilus beecheyi, (6%), wood rats, neotoma fuscipes, (5%), and peromyscus spp. (2%). of 583 birds tested, 118 (20%) were seropositive. this included white crowned sparrows, zo ...1979522220

a hammondia-like coccidian with a mink-muskrat life cycle.a tissue cyst-forming coccidian morphologically resembling the known species hammondia has a mink-muskrat life cycle. cysts are found in skeletal muscle of muskrats (ondatra zibetheca). mink (mustela vison) fed infected muskrat carcasses shed oocysts for 4 to 6 days after a prepatent period of 6 to 8 days. the oocysts, 99% of which are unsporulated in mink feces, measure 11.5 to 12 microns x 10 to 11 microns. sporulated oocysts have 2 sporocysts, each with 4 sporozoites. the present work was ins ...19827047765
comparison of the response of muskrat, rabbit, and guinea pig heart muscle to hypoxia.papillary muscles were removed from anesthetized muskrats and rabbits and mounted in a muscle chamber maintained at 29 degrees c. muscles were stimulated at a rate of 12/min and subjected to 30 min of hypoxia followed by 30 min of reoxygenation. peak tension in muskrats declined less than peak tension in rabbits during oxygen deprivation. during reoxygenation, peak tension in muskrats rapidly returned to control levels and then exceeded control, whereas peak tension in rabbits never recovered. t ...19827051862
[quantity of foods, weight of anatomic structures and body weight in the muskrat (ondatra zibethicus, l., 1766)].weights of skeletons, several viscera (heart, lungs, empty stomach and intestine, liver, spleen, kidneys) and muscles of 80 muskrats were taken. the data were analyzed and compared versus four classes of ages and sexes: adult males, adult females, sub-adult males and sub-adult females. the weight of the muscles is 47 to 50% of the live-weight in the four classes studied. the weight of the viscera is approximately 10 to 12% of the live-weight. thus, the weight of edible matters varies, in the mus ...19826758070
terminal dives in mink, muskrat and beaver.monitoring of eeg, ekg and overt behavior of mink, muskrat, and beaver caught in leg hold traps in an aquatic tank, showed marked differences by species. death by co2 induced narcosis (submersion asphyxia) was evident in beaver, about 50 percent of muskrat but "wet" drowning occurred in mink. bradycardia was evident in all three species but was most pronounced in the beaver. times to cessation of struggle, brain activity and heart activity indicated that the terminal dives of mink and muskrat, b ...19827048357
