| molecular phylogeny of the subfamily gerbillinae (muridae, rodentia) with emphasis on species living in the xinjiang-uygur autonomous region of china and based on the mitochondrial cytochrome b and cytochrome c oxidase subunit ii genes. | rodents belonging to the subfamily gerbillinae and living in the xinjiang-uygur autonomous region of china were collected in field surveys between 2001 and 2003. we found four meriones species, including m. chengi m. liycus, m. meridianus, and m. tamariscinus, as well as related species from different genera, rhombomys opimus and brachiones przewaliskii for phylogenetic analyses of these gerbilline species, dna sequences of parts of the mitochondrial cytochrome b (cytb) and cytochrome c oxidase ... | 2010 | 20192696 |
| discovery and study of leishmania turanica for the first time in china. | reported are the results of multidisciplinary studies on leishmania turanica, which was isolated from the auricular tissues of naturally infected great gerbils in xinjiang, china. discussed are the biology of the parasite, its molecular biology, its pathogenicity in rodents and humans and its vectors. this was the first time that l. turanica had been reported in china. l. turanica is highly pathogenic in balb/c mice, with the resulting systemic infection being lethal, and it causes dermal lesion ... | 1995 | 8846493 |
