| a new species of chigger mite (acari: trombiculidae) from rodents in southwest china. | this paper describes a new species of chigger mite (acari: trombiculidae), gahrliepia cangshanensis n. sp., from rodents in southwest china. the specimens were collected from yunnan red-backed voles, eothenomys miletus (thomas, 1914), and a chinese white-bellied rat, niviventer confucianus (milne-edwards, 1871) in yunnan province. the new species is unique mainly in its number of dorsal setae (n=21), and it has the following features: ft (formula of palpotarsus)=4b (b=branched), fp (formula of p ... | 2014 | 24623884 |
| genetic analysis of a hantavirus strain carried by niviventer confucianus in yunnan province, china. | hantavirus genome sequences were recovered from lung tissues of chinese white-bellied rats (niviventer confucianus) captured in yunnan province, china. pairwise comparison of the nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of the entire s and partial m and l segments indicated that the newly discovered virus strain, which was designated as strain yn509, was very different from other rodent-borne hantaviruses. phylogenetic analysis showed that the new strain fit into a clade containing da bie sha ... | 2010 | 20600393 |
