| immunosuppression in experimental trypanosomiasis: effects of trypanosoma equiperdum on the pathogenesis of influenza virus infection in deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus). | the effects of trypanosoma equiperdum infections on the immunological and pathological responses of deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus) to influenza virus exposure were investigated. mice carrying a 5 week trypanosome infection along with an age- and sex-matched trypanosome-free control group were simultaneously exposed to influenza ao (wsn) virus. t. equiperdum infection significantly (p less than 0.01) converted a sub-lethal virus attack into a fatal pneumonic process in a small proportion of a ... | 1985 | 3002002 |
| effects of experimental infection of the deer mouse (peromyscus maniculatus) with mouse hepatitis virus. | three deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus) given 10(4) tcid50 of mouse hepatitis virus -s intranasally all had significant serum neutralization titers to mouse hepatitis virus -s 3 weeks later. ten other deer mice were given 10(3) tcid50 of mouse hepatitis virus -3 intranasally and placed with sentinel laboratory mice (cf1, c3h/rv, and nu/nu) and uninoculated deer mice. one inoculated deer mouse died, but mouse hepatitis virus was not isolated. no other inoculated or uninoculated animals exhibited ... | 1982 | 6285078 |
| food hoarding and ingestion in the deer mouse, peromyscus maniculatus: selective responses to mu and kappa opiate agonists. | the feeding behavior of the deer mouse, peromyscus maniculatus, includes food hoarding as well as ingestion. administration of the prototypical mu opiate agonist, morphine sulfate, 1-20 mg/kg, produced over three hours a significant dose-dependent stimulation of hoarding by free feeding deer mice. the specific kappa opiate agonist, u-50,488h, 0.10-10 mg/kg, markedly increased ingestion without having any augmentatory effects on hoarding. the mixed mu and kappa opiate agonist, ketocyclazocine hyd ... | 1986 | 3022306 |
| experimental infection and horizontal transmission of modoc virus in deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus). | deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus) were inoculated with a sublethal dose of a field strain of modoc virus to determine patterns of viral persistence, shedding, and transmission. blood, serum, urine, fecal, and oral swab samples were collected at selected intervals until 63 days postinoculation (pi) after which lung, liver, spleen, kidney, and salivary glands were explanted. viral assays were conducted by intracranial inoculations of suckling mice and antibody titers were determined by the micro- ... | 1987 | 3035240 |
| reservoirs of giardia spp. in southwestern alberta. | a survey of potential hosts of giardia spp. was carried out during 1982 and 1983 in the kananaskis valley and banff national park, alberta, canada. diagnosis was based mainly on fecal analysis but a few animals were examined at necropsy and scrapings from the small intestine analyzed. a total of 304 specimens was examined from humans (homo sapiens l.) and a variety of animal species. cysts and/or trophozoites of giardia were found in 10.5% of the specimens examined. positive samples were found f ... | 1984 | 6397598 |
| influence of photoperiod, ambient temperature and melatonin on testosterone synthesis and release during reproductive maturation in male deer mice. | four experiments were designed to investigate the influence of photoperiod and other environmental factors on androgen production and reproductive maturation in deer mice. male prairie deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus), born in a light/dark cycle of 6l:18d, either remained in this short photoperiod or were switched to a long day regimen of 16l:8d at weaning. in a cross-sectional experiment, the deer mice were killed between 3 and 8 weeks of age for measurement of serum testosterone concentratio ... | 1988 | 3346178 |
| identification of p-450alc in microsomes from alcohol dehydrogenase-deficient deermice: contribution to ethanol elimination in vivo. | isozyme 3a of rabbit hepatic cytochrome p-450, also termed p-450alc, was previously isolated and characterized and was shown to be induced 3- to 5-fold by exposure to ethanol. in the present study, antibody against rabbit p-450alc was used to identify a homologous protein in alcohol dehydrogenase-negative (adh-) and -positive (adh+) deermice, peromyscus maniculatus. the antibody reacts with a single protein having an apparent molecular weight of 52,000 on immunoblots of hepatic microsomes from u ... | 1988 | 3395117 |
| the molecular organization of the beta-globin complex of the deer mouse, peromyscus maniculatus. | recombinant dna clones have been isolated that contain 80 kb of the beta-globin complex from the deer mouse, peromyscus maniculatus. comparisons of this complex with that from the laboratory mouse, mus domesticus (with an order 5'-hbby, hbb-bho, hbb-bhl, hbb-bh2, hbb-bh3, hbb-bl, hbb-b2 3') highlight organizational trends in the beta-globin complex since the two species diverged. unlike other mammals studied thus far, the deer mouse possesses three adult genes. partial sequence analysis indicate ... | 1987 | 3447002 |
| atropine esterase status of laboratory mice. | fifty eight inbred strains of laboratory mice and two species of wild mice [mus castaneus (inbred) and peromyscus maniculatus bairdii (closed colony)] were tested for the presence of atropine esterase by the microhematocrit tube test of tucker and beattie. the results show clearly that laboratory mice do not have significant levels of atropine esterase as determined either by the microhematocrit tube test or by the agar plate test, and therefore that under these conditions atropine esterase is n ... | 1984 | 6482377 |
| industrial lead contamination of an illinois wildlife refuge and indigenous small mammals. | deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus) were trapped from a sand prairie at various distances from an adjacent battery lead reclamation plant. analysis of liver, kidney, and bone for lead concentrations showed an increase of tissue lead concentrations over controls to a distance of approximately 400 m. soil and plant lead concentrations roughly correlated with the findings in deer mouse tissues. at higher tissue lead concentrations, acid-fast staining intranuclear inclusions within renal tubular epit ... | 1984 | 6511573 |
| pathogenesis of trypanosoma brucei infection in deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus). v. macrophage ultrastructure and function. | macrophage numbers increased in the spleen, liver, testes, heart, and kidney of deer mice infected for seven to ten weeks with trypanosoma brucei eatro 110. the macrophages were activated as indicated by their increased size and significant increases in numbers of cell organelles including profiles of rough endoplasmic reticulum (which also increased in length), mitochondria, primary and secondary lysosomes, bundles of golgi's apparatus, and free lysosomes compared to macrophages from control mi ... | 1983 | 6636469 |
| platinum coat color locus in the deer mouse. | platinum coat color in the deer mouse, peromyscus maniculatus, is an autosomal recessive trait marking a locus, pt, distinct from silver (si), albino (c), blonde (bl), brown (b), and agouti (a). platinum deer mice are conspicuously pale, with light ears and tail stripe. the pewter trait is allelic with and phenotypically identical to platinum, and represents an independent recurrence of this mutant. the rate of recoveries of coat color mutations from wild deer mice is consistent with available d ... | 1987 | 3611714 |
| influence of feeding chlorocholine chloride and glyphosine on selected immune parameters in deer mice, peromyscus maniculatus. | exposure to the plant growth regulators, chlorocholine chloride (ccc) and glyphosine (gps), resulted in significant immunomodulatory effects after feeding to deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus) for 28 days. cyclophosphamide (cp) and saline controls were included. both ccc and gps feeding levels were equivalent to 1, 10, 20, 40 and 80 mg/kg mouse/day. the parameters assessed were: spleen plaque forming cell (pfc) assays, hemolysin titers, white blood cell counts, bone marrow cellularity, hematocri ... | 1984 | 6710535 |
| neurons in the suprachiasmatic area are labelled after intravenous injections of horseradish peroxidase. | intravenous injections of horseradish peroxidase (hrp) produced labelled neurons in the suprachiasmatic area of house mice (mus musculus), deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus bairdi), and white-footed mice (peromyscus leucopus). in the two species of peromyscus, a significant proportion of the labelled cells was found within the suprachiasmatic nucleus (scn). these results suggest that when hrp is injected in the eyes to trace retinal inputs to the hypothalamus, some of the reaction product seen i ... | 1987 | 3622673 |
| disruption of ejaculates by male copulation in deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus). | six experiments were conducted to analyze possible disruption of sperm transport occurring when one male deer mouse copulates soon after another male ejaculates. when a second male mated soon after the first, females had significantly fewer uterine sperm 1 hr later than when a delay of 7 or 15 min was imposed between males. however, it was impossible to detect any effect of such disruption on pregnancy initiation. similarly, artificial stimulation soon after an ejaculation was ineffective in dis ... | 1987 | 3685153 |
| oral infection of peromyscus maniculatus with borrelia burgdorferi and subsequent transmission by ixodes dammini. | we determined if deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus) could be infected by borrelia burgdorferi and develop sufficient spirochetemia to infect larval ixodes dammini. ten p. maniculatus were infected orally with 0.05 ml phosphate buffered saline containing approximately 400 b. burgdorferi. on days 21 or 28 after infection (ai) larval i. dammini were fed on the deer mice. each of the p. maniculatus developed antibodies (up to 7 log2) to b. burgdorferi and b. burgdorferi was isolated from the blood o ... | 1987 | 3826500 |
| effects of laryngeal denervation on ultrasound production and male sexual behavior in rodents. | adult male house mice (mus musculus) and deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus bairdi) were used to investigate the effects of partial denervation of the larynx on ultrasound production. in addition the masculine sexual behavior of vocalizing and muted males was assessed on tests with receptive females. for both species, unilateral transections of the inferior laryngeal nerve (iln) significantly reduced the proportion of males that emitted ultrasonic vocalizations. however, the inability to vocalize ... | 1985 | 4059379 |
| modoc viral infections in the deer mouse peromyscus maniculatus. | the pathogenesis of modoc virus and its mechanism of transmission were investigated in peromyscus maniculatus gambeli (deer mouse) as a model to understand the natural history of this virus. animals were readily infected by the intranasal or subcutaneous route of inoculation. virus could be detected by direct isolation techniques in many organs and body fluids during the first 7 to 9 days after intranasal inoculation. increases in viral titers were detectable first in lungs and then the spleen, ... | 1974 | 4215763 |
| experimental infection with western equine encephalomyelitis virus in wild rodents indigenous to kern county, california. | six species of rodents from kern county, california, were inoculated subcutaneously with western equine encephalomyelitis (wee) virus to determine their susceptibility to infection and their potential as natural hosts. ammospermophilus nelsoni, citellus beecheyi, dipodomys heermanni, dipodomys nitratoides, peromyscus maniculatus, and sciurus griseus were readily infected. infection was usually fatal in dipodomys species, c. beecheyi, and s. griseus, but was clinically inapparent in other species ... | 1974 | 4426699 |
| yersinia philomiragia sp. n., a new member of the pasteurella group of bacteria, naturally pathogenic for the muskrat (ondatra zibethica). | a bacterium experimentally pathogenic for muskrats (ondatra zibethica), white mice, mountain voles (microtus montanus), and deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus) was isolated from the tissues of a sick muskrat captured on the bear river migratory bird refuge (brigham city, utah) and from four surface water samples collected within 15 miles of that point. in culture, the cells are chiefly coccoid, but in the tissues of muskrats and voles they resemble the bizarre forms of yersinia pestis, except for ... | 1969 | 5361214 |
| cestode in north dakota: echinococcus in field mice. | field mice (microtus pennsylvanicus and peromyscus maniculatus) are naturally infected with echinococcus multilocularis. thus, the sylvatic cycle (fox to field mice to fox) has been established in north dakota. this cestode is expected to extend its range to other agricultural regions of the continental united states where similar conditions favorable for the completion of its life cycle exist. | 1965 | 5891703 |
| feeding pattern in peromyscus maniculatus: the response to periodic food deprivation. | the prairie deermouse (peromyscus maniculatus bairdi) is strongly nocturnal on a 12:12 ld-cycle with a bimodal, dusk-dawn feeding pattern. it has been suggested for the rat that the dusk peak is more dependent on the animal's immediate energy needs while the dawn peak has an anticipatory function in storing food. the present study investigates this pattern in terms of the feeding response of deermice following periodic food deprivation. it was found that the response is not uniform within the d- ... | 1982 | 7079329 |
| hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase found in human liver. | starch-gel electrophoresis of extracts of human liver revealed the presence of a new hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase that was slower-moving at ph 8.6 than the sex-linked glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. when the gel plate was stained, galactose-6-phos phate being used as a substrate, this enzyme band stained intensely, but the sex-linked glucose-6-phosphate dehydro genase failed to stain. this new human enzyme may well be homologous with the autosomally inherited glucose-6-phosphate dehydroge ... | 1966 | 5917551 |

| experimental colorado tick fever virus infection in colorado mammals. | one hundred and twenty-four small mammals of six species were inoculated with three strains of colorado tick fever (ctf) virus to define viremia and neutralizing (n) antibody responses. adult eutamias minimus and eutamias embrinus, and juvenile peromyscus maniculatus and spermophilus lateralis, were highly susceptible to development of viremic infection. adult s. lateralis and p. maniculatus were moderately susceptible (greater than or equal to 50% viremic). five sylvilagus nuttalli did not beco ... | 1981 | 6259958 |
| experimental trypanosoma brucei infection in deer mice: splenic changes. | forty deer mice (peromyscus maniculatus) were infected with trypanosoma brucei organisms and were killed 33 to 83 days after inoculation (average, 63). the outstanding lesion was infiltration of plasma cells in various tissues. these cells caused disruption of the periarteriolar lymphocytic sheaths and thickening of red pulp cords in the spleen. the lymph node was almost completely replaced by plasma cells. the spleen and lymph nodes also had marked hyperplasia of germinal centers and granulomat ... | 1980 | 7361379 |
| the ecology of colorado tick fever in rocky mountain national park in 1974. ii. infection in small mammals. | field studies of colorado tick fever (ctf) in small mammals in rocky mountain national park (rmnp) in 1974 established that eutamias minimus and spermophilus lateralis were the most important hosts for ctf virus and were the source of virus for immature stages of the tick vector, dermacentor andersoni. other species (peromyscus maniculatus, spermophilus richardsonii, eutamias umbrinus) are secondary hosts. the intensity of viral activity in rodents varied greatly from locality to locality. highe ... | 1981 | 6263122 |
| medroxyprogesterone, immunosuppression, and conceptus size in peromyscus. | effects of exogenous medroxyprogesterone acetate (mpa) on skin transplant retention and conceptus size were studied in the deer mouse, peromyscus maniculatus, and the oldfield mouse peromyscus polionotus. daily injections of 2 mg mpa significantly prolonged survival of allografts in p. maniculatus and transspecific grafts between p. maniculatus and p. polionotus. allografts were retained significantly longer than transspecific grafts (17.2 vs 12.4 days) on mpa-treated p. maniculatus. near-term f ... | 1983 | 6345716 |
| non-alcohol dehydrogenase-mediated metabolism of methylazoxymethanol in the deer mouse, peromyscus maniculatus. | the concept that alcohol dehydrogenase (adh) is involved in the metabolism of methylazoxymethanol (mam) was examined in a model consisting of two strains of the deer mouse, peromyscus maniculatus, one of which has a normal complement of the enzyme [adh(+)], and the other, which completely lacks it [adh(-)]. both the adh(+) and the adh(-) strains rapidly metabolized [14c]mam, administered in the form of the acetic acid ester, [14c] mamoac , to 14co2, and the rates and extents of metabolism were v ... | 1984 | 6372998 |
