| a fatal enteric syndrome in mystromys albicaudatus (white tailed rat) following topical antibiotic treatment. | heavy death losses (59%) occurred in adult mystromys 3--14 days after muscle biopsies were taken from their rear legs. clinical signs included anorexia, depression, and rough hair coat. predominant necropsy findings were hrmorrhagic typhlitis and colitis. results of studies evaluating the roles of the anesthetic and the tropical antibiotic ointment suggested that the deaths were caused by ingestion of the topically applied antibiotic. | 1978 | 214636 |
| organ weights and organ:body weight ratios of the african white-tailed rat (mystromys albicaudatus). | fifty-three adult female and 51 adult male white-tailed rats (mystromys albicaudatus) were killed with ether and weighed; the spleen, kidneys, liver, heart, lung, pancreas, brain and gonads were dissected free of adhering tissue and weighted. the mean absolute organ weight and organ:body weight ratios by sex and organ were calculated and compared. the male rats were significantly (p less than or equal to 0.05) heavier. the mean weight of the males was 110.0 +/- 23.8 g versus 82.9 +/- 16.1 g for ... | 1979 | 439848 |
| viraemic transmission of crimean-congo haemorrhagic fever virus to ticks. | in order to determine the way in which vertebrates infected with crimean-congo haemorrhagic fever (cchf) virus and potential ixodid tick vectors interact in nature, immature and adult ticks of several species were fed on viraemic mammals and then assayed for virus content at varying times after feeding. cchf virus was not isolated from ticks of six species tested after feeding as adults and immature forms on sheep with viraemia of 10(2.5-3.2) ld 50/ml, nor from larval ticks fed on guinea-pigs an ... | 1991 | 1902186 |
| viremia and antibody response of small african and laboratory animals to crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever virus infection. | eleven species of small african wild mammals, laboratory rabbits, guinea pigs, and syrian hamsters were infected with crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever (cchf) virus. low-titered viremia followed by development of antibody was observed in scrub hares (lepus saxatilis), cape ground squirrels (xerus inauris), red veld rats (aethomys chrysophilus), white tailed rats (mystromys albicaudatus), bushveld gerbils (tatera leucogaster), striped mice (rhabdomys pumilio), and guinea pigs. the maximum viremic t ... | 1989 | 2499205 |
| experimentally induced tyzzer's disease in the african white-tailed rat (mystromys albicaudatus). | tyzzer's disease was induced experimentally in nonimmunosuppressed, weanling mystromys albicaudatus by oral inoculation with bacillus piliformis spores. focal areas of necrosis bordered by cells containing b. piliformis were observed first in the tunica muscularis of the intestine and in the periportal region of the liver 3 days post-inoculation, in the ventricular myocardium 7 days post-inoculation and in the brainstem 9 days post-inoculation. healing in the tunica muscularis, liver and myocard ... | 1986 | 3773459 |

| vaccination of the african white-tailed rat, mystromys albacaudatus, with sonicated leishmania braziliensis panamensis promastigotes. | the usefulness of sonicated leishmania braziliensis panamensis promastigotes for vaccination was evaluated in mystromys albacaudatus, the african white-tailed rat. thirty-two animals received three intradermal injections of 2 x 10(6) sonicated promastigotes derived from l. braziliensis panamensis at weekly intervals. one month after completion of the immunization schedule, the experimental group of animals was challenged in vivo with 2 x 10(6) live l. braziliensis panamensis promastogotes. at th ... | 1982 | 7072888 |

| the thermal biology of the white-tailed rat mystromys albicaudatus, a cricetine relic in southern temperate african grassland. | this study examines the hypothesis that mystromys albicaudatus, a cricetine relic in southern africa, has thermal characteristics typical of a rodent adapted to a cold temperature regime. metabolic rate (oxygen consumption) of m. albicaudatus was measured using open-flow respirometry at ambient temperatures ranging from 5 degrees c to 35 degrees c. lowest specific oxygen consumption was 1.352 +/- 0.089 ml o2 g-1hr-1 (n = 8; body mass = 93.78 +/- 6.27 g) at 25 degrees c, equivalent to 121.8% of t ... | 1995 | 7866776 |
