| new host and locality records of coccidia (apicomplexa: eimeriidae) from rodents in the southwestern and western united states. | one hundred forty-seven murid and heteromyid rodents were collected from various sites in the southwestern and western united states (arizona, colorado, new mexico, texas, and utah) and baja california norte, mexico, and their feces were examined for coccidial parasites. of these, 53 (36%) were infected with at least 1 coccidian; 45 of 53 (85%) of the infected rodents harbored only 1 species of coccidian. infected rodents included: 10 of 22 (45%) neotoma albigula, 3 of 11 (27%) neotoma floridana ... | 1991 | 1779282 |
| yersinia philomiragia sp. n., a new member of the pasteurella group of bacteria, naturally pathogenic for the muskrat (ondatra zibethica). | a bacterium experimentally pathogenic for muskrats (ondatra zibethica), white mice, mountain voles (microtus montanus), and deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus) was isolated from the tissues of a sick muskrat captured on the bear river migratory bird refuge (brigham city, utah) and from four surface water samples collected within 15 miles of that point. in culture, the cells are chiefly coccoid, but in the tissues of muskrats and voles they resemble the bizarre forms of yersinia pestis, except for ... | 1969 | 5361214 |

| changes in sin nombre virus antibody prevalence in deer mice across seasons: the interaction between habitat, sex, and infection in deer mice. | we examined the impact of season and habitat on sin nombre virus (snv) seroprevalence in deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus) in utah's great basin desert from may 2002 through summer 2003. low mouse captures in 2002 limited analysis for that year. in two seasons during 2003, mouse density and sagebrush cover were positively linked (spring: r = 0.8, p = 0.01; summer: r = 0.8, p = 0.04). in the spring, seroprevalence was negatively correlated with density (r = -0.9, p< 0.01); male and female antibo ... | 2006 | 17255449 |
| seasonal variation in sin nombre virus infections in deer mice: preliminary results. | the proportion of deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus) with recently acquired sin nombre virus (snv) infections is an indicator of epizootic intensity and may be key in predicting outbreaks of hantavirus cardio-pulmonary syndrome in humans. we investigated whether incidence of recent infections was related to season, sex, reproductive status, or habitat disturbance. in may and september, 2006, we sampled 912 deer mice at six sites in utah. we determined snv antibody prevalence and estimated the nu ... | 2009 | 19395752 |
