| identification and characterization of a novel rodent bocavirus from different rodent species in china. | members in the genus bocaparvovirus are closely related to human health and have a wide host range. the diverse hosts raise the possibility of crossing species barrier, which is a feature of emerging viruses. among the mammalian hosts, rodents are generally acknowledged to be important reservoirs of emerging viruses. here, rodent samples collected from six provinces and autonomous regions of china (liaoning, inner mongolia, tibet, xinjiang, guangxi and yunnan) were used to investigate the preval ... | 2018 | 29593218 |
| faunistic study of the rodents of north khorasan province, north east of iran, 2011-2013. | rodents are one of the most important hosts for some zoonotic diseases and also act as a reservoir of some ectoparasites and endoparasites. they cause damage to the farms and inflict public health. the aim of this study was to investigate the faunal composition of rodent in north khorasan province, northeast of iran. | 2018 | 30123806 |
| identification and characterization of jingmen tick virus in rodents from xinjiang, china. | jingmen tick virus (jmtv) is a recently identified virus which provides an unexpected connection between segmented and unsegmented rna viruses. recent investigations reveal that jmtv including jmtv-like virus (alongshan virus) could be associated with human disease, suggesting the significance of jmtv in public health. to better understand the genetic diversity and host range of jmtv, a total of 164 rodents representing 8 species were collected in qapqal xibe county of xinjiang uygur autonomous ... | 2020 | 32531517 |
| rodent-borne diseases and their public health importance in iran. | rodents are reservoirs and hosts for several zoonotic diseases such as plague, leptospirosis, and leishmaniasis. rapid development of industry and agriculture, as well as climate change throughout the globe, has led to change or increase in occurrence of rodent-borne diseases. considering the distribution of rodents throughout iran, the aim of this review is to assess the risk of rodent-borne diseases in iran. | 2018 | 29672510 |
| review of leishmaniasis in the middle east and north africa. | cutaneous and visceral forms of leishmaniasis are the most important protozoan infection in the middle east and north africa (mena). | 2019 | 31148958 |
| the potential role of humans in the transmission cycle of leishmania major (kinetoplastida: trypanosomatidae), the causative agent of the old world zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis. | zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (zcl) due to leishmania major (yakimoff and schokhor, 1914) is known as a neglected tropical disease, transmitted by phlebotomus papatasi (scopoli, 1786) in north africa and the middle east. the main reservoirs of zcl are desert gerbils and the role of humans as a reservoir host of the disease is not clearly defined and is therefore investigated in this study. in order to achieve this objective, ph. papatasi sand flies were allowed to take blood through indirect ... | 2018 | 30124876 |
| differences in the number of oxytocin, vasopressin, and tyrosine hydroxylase cells in brain regions associated with mating among great, midday, and mongolian gerbils. | neurotransmitters, such as oxytocin (ot), vasopressin (avp), and dopamine (da), within the mesolimbic system have deeply conserved roles in regulating mating-related behaviors. however, comparative studies among monogamous and polygamous animals focus mainly on microtus; very little research has been done in gerbils. here, we measured body weight, body length, tail length, serum hormone concentrations, and the immunoreactive (ir)-cells of ot, avp, and tyrosine hydroxylase (th) in the brain of th ... | 2020 | 32001244 |
| the genome of the great gerbil reveals species-specific duplication of an mhcii gene. | the great gerbil (rhombomys opimus) is a social rodent living in permanent, complex burrow systems distributed throughout central asia, where it serves as the main host of several important vector-borne infectious pathogens including the well-known plague bacterium (yersinia pestis). here, we present a continuous annotated genome assembly of the great gerbil, covering over 96% of the estimated 2.47-gb genome. taking advantage of the recent genome assemblies of the sand rat (psammomys obesus) and ... | 2020 | 31971556 |
| modeling spatial distribution of rhombomys opimus as the main reservoir host of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis in northeastern iran. | zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (zcl) is among the most endemic zoonotic diseases in golestan province of iran. the aim of this study was to find the high risk areas of this infection by considering the distribution of reservoirs and human infection. | 2019 | 30997890 |
| first molecular report of hydatigera krepkogorski (schulz and landa, 1934) in abdominal cavity of gerbil (rhombomys opimus) in iran. | a polycephalic larva of taeniidae family isolated from abdominal cavity of a great gerbil (rhombomys opimus) from golestan province, northern iran, was subjected to molecular analysis. genomic dna from the larva was obtained using a dna extraction tissue kit. polymerase chain reaction was performed for amplification of the partial 12s rrna, cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) and nadh dehydrogenase 1 (nad1) mitochondrial genes. blast analysis of dna sequencing indicated 99.00% homology in 12s ... | 2018 | 30713617 |
| epidemiology and control of leishmaniasis in the former ussr: a review article. | all types of the old world's leishmaniasis were endemic on the territory of the south regions of ex-ussr. epidemiological situation was well under control during the ussr era, due to implementation of complex anti-leismaniasis measures. these interventions were dramatically stopped as a result of the collapse of the ussr. | 2020 | 30483324 |
| field evaluation of a 0.005% fipronil bait, orally administered to rhombomys opimus, for control of fleas (siphonaptera: pulicidae) and phlebotomine sand flies (diptera: psychodidae) in the central asian republic of kazakhstan. | plague (yersinia pestis) and zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (leishmania major) are two rodent-associated diseases which are vectored by fleas and phlebotomine sand flies, respectively. in central asia, the great gerbil (rhombomys opimus) serves as the primary reservoir for both diseases in most natural foci. the systemic insecticide fipronil has been previously shown to be highly effective in controlling fleas and sand flies. however, the impact of a fipronil-based rodent bait, on flea and san ... | 2018 | 30044788 |
| modeling spatial risk of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis in central iran. | zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (zcl) is one of the endemic diseases in central part of iran. the aim of this cross-sectional study was to find the areas with a higher risk of infection considering the distribution of vector, reservoir hosts and human infection. passive data recorded the positive cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis in yazd province health center were collected for 10 years, from 2007 to 2016 at the county level. considering all earlier studies conducted in yazd province, records o ... | 2018 | 29920233 |
| detecting plague-host abundance from space: using a spectral vegetation index to identify occupancy of great gerbil burrows. | in kazakhstan, plague outbreaks occur when its main host, the great gerbil, exceeds an abundance threshold. these live in family groups in burrows, which can be mapped using remote sensing. occupancy (percentage of burrows occupied) is a good proxy for abundance and hence the possibility of an outbreak. here we use time series of satellite images to estimate occupancy remotely. in april and september 2013, 872 burrows were identified in the field as either occupied or empty. for satellite images ... | 2018 | 29399006 |
