phylogeography of the mole-shrew (anourosorex yamashinai) in taiwan: implications of interglacial refugia in a high-elevation small mammal.	to test the pleistocene interglacial refugia hypothesis with a high-elevation mammal, we studied the phylogeography of the mole-shrew (anourosorex yamashinai) using partial mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequences (737 bases). this shrew is endemic to taiwan. it is mainly distributed in the highlands from 1000 to 2500 m in elevation. we examined 103 specimens from 24 localities in three mountain ranges of taiwan and found 36 haplotypes. these haplotypes separated into two major phylogroups (nor ...	2006	16780429
genetic variants of cao bang hantavirus in the chinese mole shrew (anourosorex squamipes) and taiwanese mole shrew (anourosorex yamashinai).	to determine the genetic diversity and geographic distribution of cao bang virus (cbnv) and to ascertain the existence of cbnv-related hantaviruses, natural history collections of archival tissues from chinese mole shrews (anourosorex squamipes) and taiwanese mole shrews (anourosorex yamashinai), captured in guizho province, people's republic of china, and in nantou county, taiwan, in 2006 and 1989, respectively, were analyzed for hantavirus rna by rt-pcr. pair-wise alignment and comparison of t ...	2016	26921799
integrative taxonomic approach of trypanosomes in the blood of rodents and soricids in asian countries, with the description of three new species.	trypanosoma lewisi (kinetoplastea: trypanosomatida: trypanosomatidae) with a cosmopolitan distribution is the type species of the subgenus herpetosoma, which includes ca. 50 nominal species isolated mainly from rodents. since members of herpetosoma in different host species have an almost identical morphology of bloodstream forms, these trypanosomes are referred to as 't. lewisi-like', and the molecular genetic characterization of each species is necessary to verify their taxonomy. in the presen ...	2019	30353232
