| effects of some factors on the susceptibility of peromyscus leucopus to infestation by larvae of cuterebra fontinella (diptera: cuterebridae). | two levels of 3 factors, (1) host age, (2) host dietary state in regard to vitamin a, and (3) previous infestation history, were tested individually and in combinations for their effects on the susceptibility of peromyscus leucopus to infestation by larvae of the rodent bot fly, cuterebra fontinella. previous infestation was the only significant single factor. previously uninfested (pu) mice usually were more susceptible to infestation than previously infested (pi) mice. interactions of age and ... | 1979 | 448615 |
| prevalence of cuterebrid parasitism among woodmice in virginia. | botfly infestation was analyzed in 1319 small mammals from varied habitats and elevations in upland virginia, 1972-1974. adult cuterebra fontinella were reared from bots infesting the woodmouse (peromyscus leucopus). of 651 woodmice, 199 (30.6%) were infested at least once. the season of bot infestation extended from may through november of all years, with peak prevalence (mean 42.2%) in august. infestation in woodmice was general over a 2000 km2 study area during peak months. significantly grea ... | 1976 | 933308 |
| warble development by the rodent bot cuterebra fontinella (diptera: cuterebridae) in the deer mouse. | warbles induced by the rodent bot fly larvae, cuterebra fontinella, developed over a period of 3.5-4 weeks in the deer mouse peromyscus maniculatus. warble location, structure and dynamics were examined. clustering of warbles occurred primarily within the inguinal region of the deer mouse with a significant number favoring the area between the anus and genital organ. no differences in warble production were found in hosts of either sex. on two occasions, a warble was encountered forming directly ... | 1991 | 1882496 |
| parasitic and phoretic arthropods of sylvatic and commensal white-footed mice (peromyscus leucopus) in central tennessee, with notes on lyme disease. | sixteen species of parasitic or phoretic arthropods were collected from 56 white-footed mice, peromyscus leucopus, live-trapped in central tennessee from april through november 1987. arthropod infestation was compared for mice taken from sylvatic (woodland) versus commensal (household) habitats. three species were recorded from hosts in both habitats: the sucking louse hoplopleura hesperomydis, the flea epitedia wenmanni, and the laelapid mite androlaelaps casalis. twelve of the 13 remaining art ... | 1991 | 2010854 |
| avian and mammalian hosts for spirochete-infected ticks and insects in a lyme disease focus in connecticut. | spirochetes and their vectors and reservoirs were studied in a lyme disease focus in east haddam, connecticut, from mid-may through september 1983. ixodes dammini subadults were comparable in number on white-footed mice (peromyscus leucopus) (means = 2.9 +/- 3.6 sd) to those on 27 different species of birds (means = 2.3 +/- 4.2 sd) representing 11 families within the order passeriformes. less commonly found ticks on birds (means less than or equal to 0.1) were immature ixodes dentatus and haemap ... | 1984 | 6516460 |

| migratory kinetics of cuterebra fontinella (diptera: cuterebridae) in the white-footed mouse, peromyscus leucopus. | larvae of the rodent botfly, cuterebra fontinella, follow a consistent migration route thorough their natural host, the white-footed mouse, peromyscus leucopus. larvae that enter the eye or nares spend about 48 hr in the nasal cavity and then follow a caudally oriented path that leads through the nasal passage, trachea, thoracic and abdominal cavities, and ends in the subcutaneous tissues of the posteroventral abdominal region. larvae that enter mice through the anus or by injection into the sub ... | 1981 | 7264830 |
| bot fly (cuterebra fontinella fontinella) parasitism of cotton mice (peromyscus gossypinus) on st. catherines island, georgia. | from february 1993 through october 1994, 382 cotton mice (peromyscus gossypinus) were live-trapped and examined for bot fly (cuterebra fontinella fontinella) larvae. thirty-nine (10%) of the mice were parasitized by a total of 44 bot fly larvae. all bots were situated in the inguinal or lower abdominal region of the mice. monthly data strongly suggested that this bot is bivoltine at this latitude with distinct summer and winter population peaks. prevalence of parasitism was highest in june 1994 ... | 1995 | 7472877 |
| molecular identification of two species of myiasis-causing cuterebra by multiplex pcr and rflp. | the myiasis-causing flies cuterebra grisea (coquillet) and cuterebra fontinella (clark) (diptera: oestridae) are normally parasites of mice, predominantly of the genus peromyscus. the morphological similarities of these species and the existence of intermediate morphotypes bearing characters of both species make the identification of adults problematic; furthermore the identification of larvae is apparently not possible. this study presents two molecular approaches to discriminate between these ... | 2004 | 15189241 |
| gonotrophic development in the rodent bot fly cuterebra fontinella (diptera: oestridae). | the gonotrophic development of cuterebra fontinella clark begins after the larval-pupal molt, the point at which winter diapause often occurs in many cuterebra spp. adult females emerge with their eggs at stage 3 and require an additional 5 d to complete oogenesis. other species of cuterebra also may have similar developmental sequences and require a period of several days after eclosion to complete development of their ova. | 1991 | 1875379 |
