| new species of the fleas farhangia and nestivalius, from endemic rodents in sulawesi, indonesia. | the fleas (siphonaptera: pygiopsyllidae) farhangia quattuordecimdentata sp. n. and farhangia sedecimdentata sp. n. are described from pygmy squirrels (prosciurillus spp.), and nestivalius sulawesiensis sp. n. from murine rodents, all from sulawesi, indonesia. both new species of farhangia were collected in central sulawesi (sulawesi tengah); f. quattuordecimdentata sp. n. was recovered mainly from p. murinus, whereas f. sedecimdentata sp. n. was recovered mainly from p. leucomus. these new speci ... | 2003 | 12680929 |
| [macrostylophora kinabaluae n. sp. (insecta: siphonaptera: ceratophyllidae), a new flea from sabah (borneo, eastern malaysia)]. | this species, known only by a single male, is described from mount kinabalu and thus is recorded from the same area as macrostylophora borneensis (jordan, 1926), teste traub (1972). it is distinguished from its congeneric and characterized by the absence of eriged setae on the thorax and first abdominal tergits, as well as by the shape of terminal segments and the phallosom. macrostylophora kinabaluae was found to parasitize the sciurid rodent callosciurus prevostii that is widespread throughout ... | 2005 | 16218211 |
| first description of natural echinococcus multilocularis infections in chinchilla (chinchilla laniger) and prevost's squirrel (callosciurus prevostii borneoensis). | this report describes for the first time the occurrence of alveolar echinococcosis in two exotic rodent species in europe. a pet chinchilla (chinchilla laniger) was euthanized due to a painful enlargement of the abdominal cavity, and a prevost's squirrel (callosciurus prevostii borneoensis) was found dead in the enclosure of a zoo. at necropsy, extended liver lesions consisting of small vesicles and cysts were observed in the livers of both animals. histological examination revealed that these c ... | 2007 | 17768640 |
| rnase 1 genes from the family sciuridae define a novel rodent ribonuclease cluster. | the rnase a ribonucleases are a complex group of functionally diverse secretory proteins with conserved enzymatic activity. we have identified novel rnase 1 genes from four species of squirrel (order rodentia, family sciuridae). squirrel rnase 1 genes encode typical rnase a ribonucleases, each with eight cysteines, a conserved ckxxntf signature motif, and a canonical his(12)-lys(41)-his(119) catalytic triad. two alleles encode callosciurus prevostii rnase 1, which include a ser(18)<-->pro, analo ... | 2009 | 19771477 |
| survey of hymenolepis spp. in pet rodents in italy. | we carried out the first survey of hymenolepis spp. infection in pet rodents in italy. fresh fecal samples were collected from 172 pet rodents as follows: guinea pigs (cavia porcellus; n = 60), squirrels (callosciurus finlaysonii, callosciurus prevosti, tamias striatus, tamias sibiricus, sciurus calorinensis; n = 52), hamsters (phodopus campbelli, mesocricetus auratus; n = 30), chinchillas (chinchilla lanigera; n = 13), rats (rattus norvegicus; n = 10), and mice (mus minutoides; n = 7). these an ... | 2015 | 26290218 |
| multiple detection of zoonotic variegated squirrel bornavirus 1 rna in different squirrel species suggests a possible unknown origin for the virus. | the recently discovered variegated squirrel bornavirus 1 (vsbv-1) caused the death of three squirrel breeders in germany. subsequent first screening of squirrels with in vivo collected swab samples and a vsbv-1-specific rt-qpcr revealed not only variegated squirrel infections (sciurus variegatoides), but also prevost's squirrels (callosciurus prevostii) as positive for vsbv-1 genome. in this study, 328 squirrels were tested using the established rt-qpcr assays. in 16 individual animals vsbv-1 rn ... | 2017 | 28593419 |

| distribution of zoonotic variegated squirrel bornavirus 1 in naturally infected variegated and prevost's squirrels. | recently, the zoonotic capacity of the newly discovered variegated squirrel bornavirus 1 (vsbv-1) was confirmed in humans with a lethal encephalitis. transmission to humans occurred by variegated and prevost's squirrels as presumed reservoir hosts but possible ways of virus shedding and the route of infection still need to be elucidated. thus, the tissue distribution of vsbv-1 antigen and rna was investigated in detail via immunohistochemistry (ihc) in six variegated and eight prevost's squirrel ... | 2019 | 31388038 |
| occupation-associated fatal limbic encephalitis caused by variegated squirrel bornavirus 1, germany, 2013. | limbic encephalitis is commonly regarded as an autoimmune-mediated disease. however, after the recent detection of zoonotic variegated squirrel bornavirus 1 in a prevost's squirrel (callosciurus prevostii) in a zoo in northern germany, we retrospectively investigated a fatal case in an autoantibody-seronegative animal caretaker who had worked at that zoo. the virus had been discovered in 2015 as the cause of a cluster of cases of fatal encephalitis among breeders of variegated squirrels (sciurus ... | 2018 | 29774846 |
| genomic and micro-evolutionary features of mammalian 2 orthobornavirus (variegated squirrel bornavirus 1, vsbv-1). | mammalian 2 orthobornavirus (vsbv-1) is an emerging zoonotic pathogen discovered in several exotic squirrel species and associated with fatal human encephalitis. the dynamics of vsbv-1 spread and evolution in its presumed natural hosts are unknown. here, we present the phylogeny, micro-evolution, cross-species transmission and spread of vsbv-1 at a temporal and spatial resolution within the limits of animal husbandry. the results showed that vsbv-1 can be classified into six distinct groups and ... | 2021 | 34070673 |
| introduction and spread of variegated squirrel bornavirus 1 (vsbv-1) between exotic squirrels and spill-over infections to humans in germany. | the variegated squirrel bornavirus 1 (vsbv-1) is a recently discovered emerging viral pathogen which causes severe and eventually fatal encephalitis in humans after contact to exotic squirrels in private holdings and zoological gardens. understanding the vsbv-1 epidemiology is crucial to develop, implement, and maintain surveillance strategies for the detection and control of animal and human infections. based on a newly detected human encephalitis case in a zoological garden, epidemiological sq ... | 2021 | 33706665 |
