predictive modelling in paleoenvironmental reconstruction: the micromammals of manot cave, israel.this paper describes the micromammalian remains and paleoenvironment of the upper paleolithic sequence of manot cave (46-34 ka), southern levant. micromammal remains were identified from ahmarian (46-42 ka), levantine aurignacian (38-34 ka) and post-levantine aurignacian (34-33 ka) layers. to identify taphonomic agents, molar digestion was modelled for seven local raptor species, and model predictions were compared with observed digestion scores in the manot cave material. raptor species differe ...201931623862
giardia microti in pet microtus guentheri: evidence of a parasite never detected in italy.the genus giardia includes several species distinguished by morphological, biological and molecular features. currently, eight species within the genus are retained as valid. in italy no identification of giardia species other than giardia duodenalis has been so far reported. fecal samples were collected from two günther's voles (microtus guentheri) positive to giardia cysts by microscopic investigation and immunofluorescence. the voles were born in milan (northern italy) from two gravid females ...202033059116
pattern of x-y chromosome pairing in microtine rodents.pairing of x and y chromosomes at meiotic prophase in 14 species of the subfamily microtinae (clethrionomys rufocanus, c. rutilus, c. glareolus, arvicola terrestris, microtus guentheri, m. socialis, m. afghanus, m. bucharicus, m. oeconomus, m. arvalis, m. rossiaemeridionalis, m. kirgisorum, m. transcaspicus, m. (pitymys) majori) was analysed in relation to their taxonomic position and variation in the morphology of their sex chromosomes. the sex chromosomes formed a synaptonemal complex (sc) at ...19958598341
[optimization of elisa and immunoblot methods for the detection of igg antibodies against old world hantaviruses in wild rodents].hantaviruses infect humans via inhalation of viral particles in infected rodents' secretions such as saliva, urine and faeces or via direct contact with infected rodents. the rodent species that are known as the carriers of dobrava (dobv), puumala (puuv), saaremaa (saav), tula (tulv) and seoul (seov) viruses are found in our country. the presence of specific antibodies against hantaviruses have been demonstrated in rodents collected from black sea and aegean regions of turkey in 2004 for the fir ...201627175497
a newly emerged cutaneous leishmaniasis focus in northern israel and two new reservoir hosts of leishmania major.in 2006/7, 18 cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) were reported for the first time from sde eliyahu (pop. 650), a village in the beit she'an valley of israel. between 2007-2011, a further 88 cl cases were diagnosed bringing the total to 106 (16.3% of the population of sde eliyahu). the majority of cases resided in the south-western part of the village along the perimeter fence. the causative parasite was identified as leishmania major yakimoff & schokhor, 1914 (kinetoplastida: trypanosomatidae ...201323437408

thermoregulatory responses of mesic and xeric rodent species to photoperiod manipulations.thermoregulatory mechanisms in rodents were found to respond to photoperiod manipulations. in desert adapted species, non-shivering thermogenesis nst-capacity (the ratio between the maximal vo2 response to noradrenaline injection and rmr, measured 1 degree c below the lower critical point) increased, as due to long scotophase acclimation. the aim of the present study is to compare the thermoregulatory responses of mesic rodents with those of desert ones, to photoperiod manipulations. heat produc ...19989773501
cultivation of besnoitia besnoiti and evaluation of susceptibility of laboratory animals to cultured parasites.cultivation of besnoitia besnoiti on five mammalian cell types showed that vero (green monkey kidney), l929 (mouse fibroblasts) and bek (bovine embryo kidney) cells were highly susceptible and were almost destroyed after 5 days of incubation, while mdbk (madin-darby bovine kidney) and bl (theileria annulata-infected bovine lymphoid) cells were less affected. intraperitoneal infection with culture-derived endozoites was fatal for gerbils (meriones tristrami) and sand rats (psammomys obesus). rabb ...19873105163
[helminths of birds and mammals from israel. vi. the taxonomy and ecology of trichostrongylid nematodes (author's transl)].thirteen species of trichostronglyloid nematodes have so far been recorded from wild birds and mammals in israel and surrounding territories. three species were found in birds: amidostomum fulicae (rudolphi, 1819) in fulica atra l., 1758, a. acutum (lundahl, 1848) in anas crecca l., 1758 and amidostomum sp. in ceryle rudis l., 1758. ten species, 3 of which are new, were found in small mammals: trichostrongylus colubriformis (giles, 1892) in hystrix indica kerr, 1792; tenorastrongylus josephi n. ...1975776059
heavy metal accumulation and genotoxic effects in levant vole (microtus guentheri) collected from contaminated areas due to mining activities.heavy metal contamination is a serious environmental problem commonly monitored in various organisms. small wild rodents are ideal biological monitors to show the extent of environmental pollution. the aim of this study was to evaluate the adverse effects of marble and stone quarries on the levant vole, microtus guentheri, inhabiting some polluted sites. in this context, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (icp-ms) was used to analyze distribution of thirteen heavy metals (fe, al, zn, c ...202031662243
cytogenetic study on microtus guentheri (danford and alston, 1880) (mammalia: rodentia) from turkey: constitutive heterochromatin distribution and nucleolar organizer regions.conventionally stained, c- and ag-nor banded karyotypes of guenther's vole, microtus guentheri were studied from turkey. the species possesses a karyotype of 2n = 54, nfa = 52 and nf = 54 in specimens from kahramanmaraş and gaziantep provinces, whereas nf = 56 in females and nf = 55 in males were found in individuals from kirikkale and nevşehir provinces. the x chromosome was a large acrocentric (nf = 54) or submetacentric (nf = 55, 56) while the y chromosome was a small telocentric in all speci ...201121614965
serological survey for viral pathogens in turkish rodents.wild rodents (n = 330) were trapped around the villages of altindere and coşandere (maçka, trabzon province), ayder, ortan, and yolkiyi (camlihemşin, rize province), and bozdag (odemiş, izmir province) in northeastern and western turkey during april 2004. samples were tested for arenavirus, hantavirus, and cowpox virus (family poxviridae, genus orthopoxvirus, cpxv) antibodies by using immunofluorescence assays (ifas). antibodies against arenaviruses were found in eight of 330 (2.4%) rodents. are ...200617092901
spatial learning and memory in the blind mole-rat in comparison with the laboratory rat and levant vole.studies dealing with spatial orientation in mammals have mostly dealt with surface-dwelling species. we studied the ability of a subterranean rodent to orient in space and compared it with two species of rodents that spend most of their lives above ground. the solitary blind mole-rat, spalax ehrenbergi, inhabits an extensive, branching tunnel system that it digs itself and in which it spends its entire life. we examined its ability to learn and remember a winding path towards a goal in a multipl ...200111170707
