| isolation of leishmania (l.) mexicana from wild rodents and their possible role in the transmission of localized cutaneous leishmaniasis in the state of campeche, mexico. | leishmania parasites were isolated from four of seven small rodent species captured in the state of campeche, mexico. signs and/or symptoms of leishmanial infection were restricted to the tail of the mice. peromyscus yucatanicus endemic to the peninsula of yucatan and oryzomys melanotis were added to the list of carriers of leishmania. leishmania (l.) mexicana, characterized by an indirect immunofluorescence antibody method using monoclonal antibodies, was identified in one sigmodon hispidus and ... | 1995 | 7677214 |
| comparison of small mammal prevalence of leishmania (leishmania) mexicana in five foci of cutaneous leishmaniasis in the state of campeche, mexico. | in the yucatan peninsula of mexico, 95% of the human cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis are caused by leishmania (leishmania) mexicana with an incidence rate of 5.08 per 100,000 inhabitants. transmission is limited to the winter months (november to march). one study on wild rodents has incriminated ototylomys phyllotis and peromyscus yucatanicus as primary reservoirs of l. (l.) mexicana in the focus of la libertad, campeche. in the present study, the prevalence of both infection and disease caused ... | 2009 | 19390737 |
| the occurrence of the larval cestode cysticercus fasciolaris in rodent populations from the cuxtal ecological reserve, yucatan, mexico. | cysticercus fasciolaris is the larval stage of the cestode taenia taeniaeformis, whose definitive hosts are mainly cats. this larval stage uses a wide variety of small rodents, and occasionally birds and humans, as intermediate hosts. in the yucatan, there are no reports of the presence of this cestode in animal populations. the aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of c. fasciolaris in rodent populations from the cuxtal ecological reserve, yucatan, mexico. trapping of rodents was con ... | 2011 | 21208511 |
| identification of bartonella species isolated from rodents from yucatan, mexico, and isolation of bartonella vinsonii subsp. yucatanensis subsp. nov. | bartonella species are highly endemic among wild rodents in many parts of the world. blood and/or blood clot cultures from 38 rodents, including 27 yucatan deer mouse (peromyscus yucatanicus), 7 gaumer's spiny pocket mouse (heteromys gaumeri), 2 black rats (rattus rattus) and 2 big-eared climbing rats (ototylomys phyllotis) captured near merida, yucatan, mexico, led to the isolation in 3-4 days of small gram-negative bacilli, which were identified as bartonella spp. based on colony morphology. d ... | 2016 | 27626126 |
