| morphology and life cycle of schistosoma sinensium pao, 1959, from northwest thailand. | schistosoma sinensium pao, 1959, was first isolated from an unidentified snail in szechuan province, china, and was described on the basis of adult worms and eggs recovered from experimentally infected mice. we discovered snails, tricula bollingi davis, and rodents, rattus rattus (l.) and crocidura attenuata milne-edwards, infected with s. sinensium near fang in northwest thailand. adult worms were recovered from small veins immediately adjacent to the small intestine. eggs first appeared in the ... | 1989 | 2918446 |
| identification of novel bartonella spp. in bats and evidence of asian gray shrew as a new potential reservoir of bartonella. | many studies indicated that small mammals are important reservoirs for bartonella species. using molecular methods, several studies have documented that bats could harbor bartonella. this study was conducted to investigate the relationship of bartonella spp. identified in bats and small mammals living in the same ecological environment. during may 2009 and march 2010, a total of 102 blood specimens were collected. by whole blood culture and molecular identification, a total of 6 bats, 1 rodent a ... | 2011 | 22005177 |
| the complete mitogenome of asian gray shrews, crocidura attenuata (soricidae). | the asian gray shrews, crocidura attenuate, belongs to the family soricidae. this widespread asian species ranges from india and perhaps pakistan in the west of its range, through much of eastern china and mainland southeast asia. in this study, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of crocidura attenuata was determined. the mitogenome is 17,534 base pairs in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal rna genes, 22 transfer rna genes, and one control region, with a base comp ... | 2016 | 25541314 |
| taxonomic uncertainty and the loss of biodiversity on christmas island, indian ocean. | the taxonomic uniqueness of island populations is often uncertain which hinders effective prioritization for conservation. the christmas island shrew (crocidura attenuata trichura) is the only member of the highly speciose eutherian family soricidae recorded from australia. it is currently classified as a subspecies of the asian gray or long-tailed shrew (c. attenuata), although it was originally described as a subspecies of the southeast asian white-toothed shrew (c. fuliginosa). the christmas ... | 2014 | 24283832 |
| bones and genes: resolution problems in three vietnamese species of crocidura (mammalia, soricomorpha, soricidae) and the description of an additional new species. | recent investigations of southeast asian white toothed shrews belonging to the genus crocidura have revealed discrepancies between the results of morphological and molecular studies. the following study concerns three species of crocidura occurring in vietnam, namely crocidura attenuata, crocidura tanakae and crocidura wuchihensis, and an undescribed fourth species revealed by molecular analysis. for many years crocidura attenuata has been known to occur in vietnam but, until very recently, the ... | 2013 | 23840165 |
| white-toothed shrews (mammalia, soricomorpha, crocidura) of coastal islands of vietnam. | new findings of the white-toothed shrews (crocidura spp.) from offshore islands of vietnam are reported. the species identifications have been confirmed by the analysis of complete mitochondrial cytochrome b gene (1140 bp). crocidura phuquocensis is the only species found in the phu quoc island. crocidura fuliginosa has been recorded from two islands of the con dao archipelago (con son and bai canh). the occurrence of crocidura fuliginosa in vietnam has been genetically confirmed for the first t ... | 2012 | 22855639 |
| a revision of the geographical distributions of the shrews crocidura tanakae and c. attenuata based on genetic species identification in the mainland of china. | the taiwanese gray shrew (crocidura tanakae) and asian gray shrew (c. attenuata) are so similar in size and morphology that the taxonomic status of the former has changed several times since its description; c. tanakae has also been regarded as an endemic species of taiwan island. in recent years, molecular identification has led to several reports of c. tanakae being distributed in the mainland of china. in this study, we determine the geographical distribution of c. attenuata and c. tanakae ba ... | 2019 | 31413662 |
