| effect of swine hepatitis e virus on the livers of experimentally infected mongolian gerbils by swine hepatitis e virus. | previous studies have shown that hepatitis e virus (hev) can be transmitted between rats, pigs, cattle, rabbits, chicken, cats, and deer. because wild and domestic rodents have anti-hev antibodies, they are considered potential reservoirs of hev. in the current study, mongolian gerbils were experimentally infected with swine hepatitis e virus and the effects of this infection were investigated. after inoculation with hev, the liver-to-body weight ratio increased at 7 dpi. mongolian gerbils demon ... | 2015 | 26093307 |
| antigen detection and apoptosis in mongolian gerbil's kidney experimentally intraperitoneally infected by swine hepatitis e virus. | we examined the effect of hepatitis e virus (hev) on the renal tissue pathogenesis, morphological damages and related molecular mechanisms following swine hev suspension intraperitoneally inoculation in mongolian gerbils. the microscopic and ultramicroscopic analyses of kidney tissue structure were carried out at different points after inoculation of hev. the immunohistochemistry, real-time pcr and western blot were performed to explore the molecular mechanisms associated with hev presence in th ... | 2016 | 26724751 |
| experimental infection of mongolian gerbils by a genotype 4 strain of swine hepatitis e virus. | an ideal animal model for hepatitis e virus (hev) research is still unavailable. to assess the possibility of using mongolian gerbils as animal model, 28 gerbils were randomly assigned into two groups, 14 for each group. gerbils in group 1 were inoculated with a genotype 4 hev recovered from swine via the intraperitoneal route. group 2 was used as a negative control and inoculated with normal suspension of swine liver. sera and feces samples were collected once a week for 7 weeks. two gerbils fr ... | 2009 | 19623666 |
