| ticks and fleas of shrews in appalachian georgia and north carolina. | ticks (acari: ixodidae) and fleas (insecta: siphonaptera) were recovered from 8 smoky shrews, sorex fumeus miller, and 9 northern short-tailed shrews, blarina brevicauda (say), trapped at elevations of 720-1,310 m in macon and jackson counties in western north carolina and union county in northern georgia from april 1994 to august 1995. the ticks ixodes angustus neumann and ixodes woodi bishopp, and the flea corrodopsylla curvata (rothschild), were recovered from smoky shrews. the same 2 tick sp ... | 1996 | 8691385 |
| lung parasites of shrews from pennsylvania. | we examined lung parasites of three species of soricids, sorex cinereus (n = 58), sorex fumeus (n = 23) and blarina brevicauda (n = 45) collected from pennsylvania (usa), from 1990 to 1995. yeast-like cells of hisfoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum were found in lung sections stained with grocott's modification of gomori's methenamine silver, periodic acid-schiff, giemsa, and hematoxylin-eosin in two (3%) s. cinereus, eight (35%) s. fumeus and two (4%) b. brevicauda. the number of spores of h. c ... | 1997 | 9131560 |

| blood parasites of shrews from pennsylvania. | we examined 30 sorex cinereus, 5 sorex fumeus, and 21 blarina brevicauda collected from pennsylvania in 1995 for blood parasites. trypomastigotes of trypanosoma sp. were visible in 13% of the s. cinereus. ten percent of s. cinereus, 20% of s. fumeus, and 14% of b. brevicauda were infected with bartonella sp. (or spp.). in s. cinereus, we detected no concurrent trypanosoma and bartonella infections. | 1998 | 9920338 |

| evolution of mtdna d-loop sequences and their use in phylogenetic studies of shrews in the subgenus otisorex (sorex: soricidae: insectivora). | mtdna d-loop sequences were examined in shrews of the genus sorex. all specimens possessed an array of tandem repeats in which each repeat was 78 to 80 base pairs (bp) in length. each specimen also possessed a 76-bp imperfect copy of the tandem repeats. three observations are consistent with the tandem repeats being the product of concerted evolution: (1) the repeats are capable of forming secondary structures; (2) there was minimal sequence divergence between tandem repeats within individuals; ... | 1994 | 8025728 |
