| borrelia japonica in nature: genotypic identification of spirochetes isolated from japanese small mammals. | spirochetes were isolated from earlobe tissues of shrews (sorex unguiculatus, sorex caecutiens, and crocidura dsienezumi), voles (clethrionomys rufocanus), and mice (apodemus argenteus and apodemus speciosus) captured in various localities in japan. the isolates were identified as borrelia japonica by rrna gene restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. the data suggest that these small mammals are candidates of reservoir hosts for b. japonica. | 1994 | 7869959 |
| pneumocystis carinii and helminth parasitism in shrews sorex araneus and sorex caecutiens. | the prevalence of pneumocystis carinii was compared in two species of shrews, sorex araneus and sorex caecutiens in finnish lapland. the overall prevalence of p. carinii in s. araneus was 70% and in s. caecutiens was 17%. the prevalence for s. araneus is the highest reported for wild animals. the interspecific differences in prevalence were significant for all sex and age groups except for adult males. based on multiway contingency tables (log-linear models), there was no dependence between sex ... | 1993 | 8487377 |

| seewis virus: phylogeography of a shrew-borne hantavirus in siberia, russia. | hantaviral antigens were originally reported more than 20 years ago in tissues of the eurasian common shrew (sorex araneus), captured in european and siberian russia. the recent discovery of seewis virus (swsv) in this soricid species in switzerland provided an opportunity to investigate its genetic diversity and geographic distribution in russia. | 2010 | 20426688 |
| a new nematode, soboliphyme ataahai sp. n. (nematoda: soboliphymidae) from laxmann's shrew, sorex caecutiens laxmann, 1788 in mongolia. | this report describes a new species of the soboliphymid nematode, soboliphyme ataahai sp. n. from laxmann's shrew, sorex caecutiens. this species is distinguished from the previously known congeners by the notched cephalic sucker with a thin circumoral membrane, relatively long vagina, cephalic papillae arranged in clusters, and bursa possessing papillae on inner and outer surfaces. also, soboliphyme ataahai differs from the congeners in other characters, such as position of vulva, number and di ... | 2003 | 12474042 |
| [developmental instability of the organism as a result of pessimization of environment under anthropogenic transformation of natural landscapes]. | the value of fluctuating asymmetry is considered to be an indicator of the developmental instability of the organism. the consequences of activities of the mining industry plants, which are characterized by alienation and transformation of large areas of natural landscapes, are analyzed as an anthropogenic factor. the objects of study were small mammals (northern red-backed (clethrionomys rutilus) and gray red-backed (clethrionomys rufocanus) voles, tundra vole (microtus oeconomus), laxmann's (s ... | 2015 | 25720274 |

| genetic diversity of artybash virus in the laxmann's shrew (sorex caecutiens). | although based on very limited m and l segment sequences, artybash virus (artv) was proposed previously as a unique hantavirus harbored by the laxmann's shrew (sorex caecutiens). to verify this conjecture, lung tissues from 68 laxmann's shrews, captured during 2006 to 2014 in eastern siberia, russia, and hokkaido, japan, were analyzed for artv rna using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr). artv rna was detected in six laxmann's shrews. pairwise alignment and comparison of pa ... | 2016 | 27172519 |
| morphometric distances and population structuring in the common shrew sorex araneus l. (lipotyphla: soricidae). | the skulls of shrews of genus sorex from eight samplings from the european part of russia and two from the vicinity of novosibirsk were compared. the characteristics were identified using 22 marks on the axial skull. it was found that the centroid size differs significantly in the common and laxmann's shrews s. caecutens and the pygmy shrew s. minutus, while for selected marks, the common and laxmann's, as well as pygmy, shrews were significantly different in form, but the differences were very ... | 2016 | 30226938 |
| [analysis of animal spatial patterns on the basis of marking on transects: an example of red-toothed shrews]. | the spatial patterns of individually marked juveniles of red-toothed shrews--the masked shrew (sorex caecutiens), common shrew (s. araneus), and pygmy shrew (s. minutus)--have been determined by comparing the ratio of traps visited by different numbers of animals (0, 1, 2, 3, etc.) with the poisson distribution and by using the index of relative variance sigma2/m. these tests characterize both the distribution of animal load over different points of the study area and the spatial pattern of indi ... | 2016 | 19198082 |

| highly divergent genetic variants of soricid-borne altai virus (hantaviridae) in eurasia suggest ancient host-switching events. | with the recent discovery of genetically distinct hantaviruses (family hantaviridae) in shrews (order eulipotyphla, family soricidae), the once-conventional view that rodents (order rodentia) served as the primordial reservoir hosts now appears improbable. the newly identified soricid-borne hantaviruses generally demonstrate well-resolved lineages organized according to host taxa and geographic origin. however, beginning in 2007, we detected sequences that did not conform to the prototypic hanta ... | 2019 | 31540127 |
| co-circulation of distinct shrew-borne hantaviruses in the far east of russia. | insectivores are the new emerging reservoir of hantaviruses. here, we describe lena virus (lenv), a novel hantavirus harbored by the laxmann`s shrew (sorex caecutiens), which is also the host of artybash virus (artv). genetic analysis of the complete genomic sequence shows that lenv is in distant relation to artv and other sorex-borne hantaviruses, suggesting that lenv has emerged from cross-species transmission. additionally, new genetic variant of artv, designated as artv-st, was identified in ... | 2019 | 31422116 |
| geographic distribution and phylogeny of soricine shrew-borne seewis virus and altai virus in russia. | the discovery of genetically distinct hantaviruses (family hantaviridae) in multiple species of shrews, moles and bats has revealed a complex evolutionary history involving cross-species transmission. seewis virus (swsv) is widely distributed throughout the geographic ranges of its soricid hosts, including the eurasian common shrew (sorex araneus), tundra shrew (sorex tundrensis) and siberian large-toothed shrew (sorex daphaenodon), suggesting host sharing. in addition, genetic variants of swsv, ... | 2021 | 34372492 |
