| mites of the subgenus neotomobia n. subg. (acariformes: myobiidae: radfordia), parasites of the subfamily neotominae (rodentia: cricetidae). | a new subgenus neotomobia n. subg. (acariformes: myobiidae: radfordia) is established for species parasitising rodents of the subfamily neotominae (rodentia: cricetidae): radfordia subuliger ewing, 1938 (type-species), radfordia eremici fain & bochkov, 2002, radfordia neotomae jameson & whitaker, 1975 and radfordia hamiltoni jameson & whitaker, 1975. three new species are described: radfordia peromyscus n. sp. from peromyscus megalops merriam from mexico, radfordia onychomys n. sp. from onychomy ... | 2014 | 25204596 |
| ecology of hantaviruses in mexico: genetic identification of rodent host species and spillover infection. | in our recent epidemiological survey conducted in mexico for hantavirus infection, we identified three distinct viruses circulating in mexican wild rodents, namely montano virus (mtnv), huitzilac virus (huiv), and carrizal virus (carv). to gain a detailed understanding of hantavirus epidemiology and its associated hosts, 410 rodents were captured at eight collecting points in morelos and guerrero, mexico, and examined for hantavirus seroprevalence, the presence of viral rna, and rodent host spec ... | 2012 | 22750131 |
| the effect of heterochromatin on synapsis of the sex chromosomes of peromyscus (rodentia, cricetidae). | the pairing behavior of the sex chromosomes in male and female individuals representing seven species of peromyscus was analyzed by electron microscopy of silver-stained zygotene and pachytene configurations. six species possess submetacentric or metacentric x chromosomes with heterochromatic short arms. sex-chromosome pairing in these species is initiated during early pachynema at an interstitial position on the x and y axes. homologous synapsis then progresses in a unidirectional fashion towar ... | 1991 | 2004557 |
