| multiple infections of rodents with zoonotic pathogens in austria. | rodents are important reservoirs for a large number of zoonotic pathogens. we examined the occurrence of 11 viral, bacterial, and parasitic agents in rodent populations in austria, including three different hantaviruses, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, orthopox virus, leptospira spp., borrelia spp., rickettsia spp., bartonella spp., coxiella burnetii, and toxoplasma gondii. in 2008, 110 rodents of four species (40 clethrionomys glareolus, 29 apodemus flavicollis, 26 apodemus sylvaticus, and ... | 2014 | 24915446 |
| molecular survey of zoonotic agents in rodents and other small mammals in croatia. | croatia is a focus for many rodent-borne zoonosis. here, we report a survey of 242 rodents and small mammals, including 43 myodes glareolus, 131 apodemus flavicollis, 53 apodemus agrarius, three apodemus sylvaticus, six sorex araneus, four microtus arvalis, one microtus agrestis, and one muscardinus avellanarius, collected at eight sites in croatia over an 8-year period. multiplex masstag polymerase chain reaction (pcr) was used for detection of borrelia, rickettsia, bartonella, babesia, ehrlich ... | 2016 | 26711522 |
| prevalence of toxoplasma gondii in small mammals from the ardennes region, france. | serum samples from 218 small mammals trapped in forest and grassland in the ardennes region (north-eastern france) were tested for antibodies to toxoplasma gondii. using the modified agglutination test, positive results were found in 4/92 apodemus sp., 3/64 clethrionomys glareolus, 0/26 microtus agrestis, 0/4 micromys minutus, 3/5 sorex sp., 2/9 arvicola terrestris, and 7/18 talpa europaea. toxoplasma gondii was not isolated from the heart of seropositive individuals after bioassay in mice. sero ... | 2007 | 18303774 |
| small rodents as paratenic or intermediate hosts of carnivore parasites in berlin, germany. | rodents are important intermediate and paratenic hosts for carnivore parasites, including the important zoonotic agents toxoplasma, echinococcus and toxocara. monitoring of such parasites in rodents can be used to detect increasing risks for human and veterinary public health. rodents were trapped at four sites in berlin, two near the city center, two at the periphery. pcrs were conducted to detect coccidia (target its-1) and specifically toxoplasma gondii (repetitive element) in brain and ascar ... | 2017 | 28278269 |
