| zoonotic bartonella species in wild rodents in the state of mato grosso do sul, brazil. | several rodent-associated bartonella species cause disease in humans but little is known about their epidemiology in brazil. the presence of bartonella spp. in wild rodents captured in two municipalities of the mato grosso do sul state was assessed by polymerase chain reaction (pcr). fragments of heart tissue from 42 wild rodents were tested using primers targeting the bartonella 16s-23s intergenic transcribed spacer (its) region and citrate synthase glta gene. the wild rodents were identified b ... | 2016 | 26344604 |
| oecomys catherinae (sigmodontinae, cricetidae): evidence for chromosomal speciation? | among the oryzomyini (sigmodontinae), oecomys is the most speciose, with 17 species. this genus presents high karyotypic diversity (2n = 54 to 2n = 86) and many taxonomic issues at the species level because of the presence of cryptic species and the overlap of morphological characters. for these reasons the real number of species of oecomys may be underestimated. with the aim of verifying if the taxon oecomys catherinae is composed of more than one species, we made comparative studies on two pop ... | 2017 | 28727788 |
