| pharmacokinetics of terbinafine in little brown myotis (myotis lucifugus) infected with pseudogymnoascus destructans. | objective to determine the pharmacokinetics of terbinafine in little brown myotis (myotis lucifugus) infected with pseudogymnoascus destructans. animals 123 bats from a p destructans-infected hibernation site in virginia. procedures 3 bats were euthanized and necropsied to confirm the presence of p destructans within the population. the remaining 120 bats were systematically assigned to 6 groups (20 bats/group). bats in each of 3 groups received 6, 20, or 60 mg of terbinafine/kg, sc, once daily ... | 2017 | 28029293 |
| white-nose syndrome and wing damage index scores among summer bats in the northeastern united states. | white-nose syndrome (wns) adversely affects millions of bats hibernating in caves of the eastern united states. beginning in 2009, the us fish and wildlife service supported use of a wing damage index (wdi) scoring system (scale of 0 to 3, or no damage to severe) to assess wing damage of bats captured during summer. based on bat captures at 459 mist net sites in pennsylvania, new york, maryland, virginia, and new jersey, usa, we questioned whether wdi scores varied by species group, date, and di ... | 2011 | 21269995 |
| organochlorine residues in three bat species from four localities in maryland and west virginia, 1973. | in 1973, 119 bats of three species were collected from four localities in maryland and west virginia. the collection included 43 big brown bats (eptesicus fuscus), 43 little brown brown bats (myotis lucifugus), and 33 eastern pipistrelles (pipistrellus subflavus). the bats were collected from round top mountain, washington co., md.; trout cave, pendleton co., w. va.; montpelier barn, prince georges co., md. residues of sigmaddt were highest in carcasses of bats from round top mountain, which is ... | 1976 | 826874 |
| mercury in little brown bat (myotis lucifugus) maternity colonies and its correlation with freshwater acidity in nova scotia, canada. | insectivorous little brown bats are exposed to elevated concentrations of mercury (hg) through their preference for aquatic-based prey. here we investigated spatial patterns of total hg (thg) in fur from 10 little brown bat maternity colonies across nova scotia, and assessed relationships with the acidity of nearby lakes and rivers. total hg concentrations were measured in fur samples from 149 adult female little brown bats. values showed significant variation among colonies (mean range 3.76-27. ... | 2015 | 25591047 |
| genetic structure of little brown bats (myotis lucifugus) corresponds with spread of white-nose syndrome among hibernacula. | until recently, the little brown bat (myotis lucifugus) was one of the most common bat species in north america. however, this species currently faces a significant threat from the emerging fungal disease white-nose syndrome (wns). the aims of this study were to examine the population genetic structure of m. lucifugus hibernating colonies in pennsylvania (pa) and west virginia (wv), and to determine whether that population structure may have influenced the pattern of spread of wns. samples were ... | 2014 | 24591103 |
| elevated mercury exposure and neurochemical alterations in little brown bats (myotis lucifugus) from a site with historical mercury contamination. | despite evidence of persistent methylmercury (mehg) contamination in the south river (virginia, usa) ecosystem, there is little information concerning mehg-associated neurological impacts in resident wildlife. here we determined mercury (hg) concentrations in tissues of insectivorous little brown bats (myotis lucifugus) collected from a reference site and a mehg-contaminated site in the south river ecosystem. we also explored whether neurochemical biomarkers (monoamine oxidase, mao; acetylcholin ... | 2012 | 22331394 |
