| [the epizootological and virological characteristics of a natural hantavirus infection focus in the subtropic zone of the krasnodarsk territory]. | a natural focus of hantavirus infection was detected and examined during the studies conducted in 2000-2002 around the sochi (the western spurs of the great caucasus ridge, which descended to the black sea (the krasnodar territory of russia). at least 4 rodent species, such as microtus majori, a. (s.) ponticus, a. agrarius, a. (s.) ciscaucasicus, were shown to participate in the circulation of hantaviruses. a comparative analysis of the nucleotide sequences of genomic s- and m-segments of hantav ... | 2005 | 16078428 |
| [distribution of carotenoids in the tissues of high altitude rodents]. | carotenoid distribution has been investigated in the organs of the ground squirrels citellus suslicus and c. pygmaeus, as well as of the vole microtus majori inhabiting high mountain regions. it was shown that with the increase of the altitude of habitat the level of carotenoids in the brain and liver increases in the ground squirrels, whereas the vole exhibits the increase of carotenoid content in the spleen, lungs and heart. it is suggested that carotenoids are involved in the intracellular ac ... | 2006 | 790866 |
| adler hantavirus, a new genetic variant of tula virus identified in major's pine voles (microtus majori) sampled in southern european russia. | although at least 30 novel hantaviruses have been recently discovered in novel hosts such as shrews, moles and even bats, hantaviruses (family bunyaviridae, genus hantavirus) are primarily known as rodent-borne human pathogens. here we report on identification of a novel hantavirus variant associated with a rodent host, major's pine vole (microtus majori). altogether 36 hantavirus pcr-positive major's pine voles were identified in the krasnodar region of southern european russia within the years ... | 2015 | 25433134 |
