| two new species of nippostrongylinae (nematoda: trichostrongylina: heligmonellidae) from the grey leaf-eared mouse graomys griseoflavus (sigmodontinae) in argentina. | two new species of nippostrongylinae, hassalstrongylus puntanus n. sp., and stilestrongylus franciscanus n. sp. are described from the intestine of the grey leaf-eared mouse graomys griseoflavus (waterhouse, 1837) (sigmodontinae) from the province of san luis, argentina. hassalstrongylus puntanus n. sp. is distinguished from the most closely related species h. dollfusi (díaz-ungría, 1963), a parasite of mus musculus from venezuela by longer rays 2, shorter rays 4, proximal half of the dorsal ray ... | 2003 | 12669346 |
| epidemiology of argentine hemorrhagic fever. | present knowledge points to horizontal transmission as the most significant mechanism for junín virus maintenance in the main natural reservoirs, namely calomys musculinus and calomys laucha. the existence of naturally infected akodon azarae, both within and outside the endemic area, as well as the finding that other species, ecologically and phylogenetically related to the main reservoirs, such as akodon molinae and calomys callidus, can experimentally develop persistent infections with virus s ... | 1988 | 2841151 |
| junin virus activity in rodents from endemic and nonendemic loci in central argentina. | small mammals were trapped during a 21-month period at 27 farm sites in 15 localities within and beyond the known endemic area for argentine hemorrhagic fever (ahf). prevalence of junin virus (jv) was assessed by antigen-capture enzyme immunoassay (elisa) on samples of body fluids and/or organs from 3, 282 captured rodents. infection in rodent populations was variable (0-3.7%) among localities but, in all cases, was lower than previously reported rates. overall prevalence was 1.4% in the ahf epi ... | 1991 | 1650148 |
