| biology of cuterebra lepusculi townsend (diptera: cuterebridae) in cottontail rabbits in idaho. | cuterebra lepusculi townsend parasitize cottontail rabbits (sylvilagus nuttallii) in southern idaho. peak parasitism was 69% in mid-september. mean development time in the host was 27 days. the species is univoltine in idaho. partially developed larvae were transferred from freshly killed to living hosts and the resulting larvae matured normally. developing pupae were cooled or warmed to retard or speed development and synchronize adult emergence. | 1983 | 6644919 |
| iodine-129 in rabbit thyroids near a nuclear fuel reprocessing plant in idaho. | thyroids were collected from rabbits on and near the idaho national engineering laboratory (inel) site in southeastern idaho and analyzed for 129i and stable iodine, 127i. the 129i/127i atom ratios in rabbits collected on the inel site were larger than ratios in rabbits from a control area. maximum 129i/127i atom ratios (9.1 x 10(-4)) occurred near the idaho chemical processing plant (icpp). based on rabbit thyroid concentrations, the 129i appeared to be deposited primarily in the direction of t ... | 1982 | 7129881 |
| the serologic prevalence of q fever (coxiella burnetii) complement-fixing antibodies in the peninsular bighorn sheep of southern california. | q fever is a rare illness in the southern california desert. during the past 34 years only 6 patients have been diagnosed with the disease at the eisenhower medical center, a referral center for much of the desert and surrounding mountains. in all but 2 instances, q fever was identified in patients who have been in contact with imported domestic sheep who are brought to the desert to graze and lamb in the fall and winter. the sheep are sent back to idaho, wyoming, and montana in the spring. with ... | 2006 | 16896140 |
| rapid species identification of pygmy rabbits (brachylagus idahoensis) from faecal pellet dna. | the pygmy rabbit (brachylagus idahoensis) is a small lagomorph of the western united states that specializes in sagebrush (artemisia spp.) habitat. intensive habitat loss and modification have increased the vulnerability of pygmy rabbit populations, but the current geographic distribution and population status remain unclear. to aid in detection and population monitoring, we developed a species identification test that uses mitochondrial dna species-specific primers to distinguish among six symp ... | 2011 | 21518302 |
