| chevrier's field mouse (apodemus chevrieri) and père david's vole (eothenomys melanogaster) in china carry orthohepeviruses that form two putative novel genotypes within the species orthohepevirus c. | hepatitis e virus (hev) is the prototype of the family hepeviridae and the causative agent of common acute viral hepatitis. genetically diverse hev-related viruses have been detected in a variety of mammals and some of them may have zoonotic potential. in this study, we tested 278 specimens collected from seven wild small mammal species in yunnan province, china, for the presence and prevalence of orthohepevirus by broad-spectrum reverse transcription (rt)-pcr. hev-related sequences were detecte ... | 2018 | 29500690 |
| disjunct distribution and distinct intraspecific diversification of eothenomys melanogaster in south china. | south china encompasses complex and diverse landforms, giving rise to high biological diversity and endemism from the hengduan mountains to taiwan island. many species are widely distributed across south china with similar disjunct distribution patterns. to explore the causes of these disjunct distribution patterns and their genetic consequences, we investigated the endemic species père david's chinese vole (eothenomys melanogaster) by integrating geological and ecological factors. we analysed t ... | 2018 | 29636000 |
| gene structure and sequence polymorphism of the coat color gene, mc1r, in the black-bellied vole (eothenomys melanogaster). | yung-chih lai, shiao-wei huang, and hon-tsen yu (2016) color polymorphism is a long-standing issue in ecological and evolutionary biology. the black-bellied vole (eothenomys melanogaster) with complete melanic and brown forms provides an outstanding opportunity to study the genetic polymorphism underpinning color variation. mutations in the coding region of melanocortin 1 receptor (mc1r) have been shown to cause color variation in a wide range of species. however, the contribution to color varia ... | 2016 | 31966171 |
| detection of bartonella species in small mammals from zhejiang province, china. | to estimate the prevalence of bartonella in small mammals of different species, during different seasons, and at different study sites, and to provide baseline data for the risk assessment of human bartonella infection, we captured small mammals using snap traps in zhejiang province, china. bartonella species were detected in small-mammal samples by polymerase chain reaction and positive amplicons were sequenced. bartonella dna was detected in 47% (90/192) of apodemus agrarius, 31% (14/45) of ra ... | 2010 | 20090031 |
| complete mitochondrial genome of the père david's vole, eothenomys melanogaster (rodentia: arvicolinae). | the père david's vole, eothenomys melanogaster belongs to subfamily arvicolinae. it is widespread in south china, and ranges into northern southeast asia. in this study, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of eothenomys melanogaster was determined. the mitogenome is 16,331 base pairs in length. the nucleotide sequence data of 12 heavy-strand protein-coding genes of e. melanogaster and other 17 rodents were used for phylogenetic analyses. tree constructed using bayesian phylogenetic method ... | 2016 | 26024146 |
