| murine immune responses and immunization against polyplax serrata (anoplura: polyplacidae). | mice with restricted grooming capabilities were infested with the solenophagous louse, polyplax serrata (burmeister). louse burdens on cox/swiss and c3h/hesn mice increased for approximately 1 mo, reaching burden/host weight ratios of 1.14 and 1.26 mg/g, respectively, followed by a steady decline. fifty days after initial ectoparasite contact, both strains were resistant to lice. resistance was anamnestic, lasting several months with second infestation weights reduced by 98 and 78% on cox/swiss ... | 1990 | 2280382 |

| host specificity and genealogy of the louse polyplax serrata on field mice, apodemus species: a case of parasite duplication or colonisation? | the genealogy, population structure and population dynamics of the sucking louse polyplax serrata were analysed across four host species of the genus apodemus. an analysis of 126 sequences of cytochrome c oxidase subunit i using phylogenetic approaches and haplotype networking revealed a clear structure of european samples, forming three distinct and genetically distant clades with different host specificities. although a clear connection was detected between the host and parasite genealogies/ph ... | 2008 | 18021782 |

| immunomodulatory parasites and toll-like receptor-mediated tumour necrosis factor alpha responsiveness in wild mammals. | immunological analyses of wild populations can increase our understanding of how vertebrate immune systems respond to 'natural' levels of exposure to diverse infections. a major recent advance in immunology has been the recognition of the central role of phylogenetically conserved toll-like receptors in triggering innate immunity and the subsequent recruitment of adaptive response programmes. we studied the cross-sectional associations between individual levels of systemic toll-like receptor-med ... | 2009 | 19386086 |
| [occurrence of lice (anoplura) in rodents from lover silesia]. | the data on the lice of small mammals, which can be the vectors of some human pathogens, are rather scarce in poland. | 2005 | 16913503 |
| [anoplura of rodents (rodentia) in northern poland]. | anoplura of rodents (rodentia) in northern poland. above 100 rodents belonging to 6 species (clethrionomys glareolus, microtus agrestis, m. arvalis, apodemus flavicollis, a. sylvaticus, mus musculus) caught in the various habitations were examined. the parasites found represented three species of anoplura: hoplopleura acanthopus, h. affinis and polyplax serrata. h. acanthopus appeard to be the most common parasite; it was found in all examined hosts, while mostly on the bank vole. | 2004 | 16859044 |
| impaired discrimination of and aversion to parasitized male odors by female oxytocin knockout mice. | a major cost of social behavior is the increased risk of exposure to parasites, with animals utilizing social information to recognize and avoid infected conspecifics. in mice, females can discriminate between infected and uninfected males on the basis of social cues, displaying aversive responses to the odors of infected males. in the present study, using female mice whose gene for oxytocin (ot) has been selectively deleted (ot knockout mice (otko)), we show that at least one normal allele for ... | 2003 | 12953788 |

| [lice (anoplura) of small mammals in the volga-kama preserve]. | 18 068 small mammals belonging to 15 species were examined, 25 059 lice of 7 species (hoplopleura acanthopus, h. edentula, h. affinis, h. longula, polyplax serrata, p. borealis, neohaematopinus laeviusculus) were collected from 2355 animals of 14 species. information is given on the species composition, occurrence and abundance for lice on shrews and rodents. 50 per cent of collected animals belong to clethrionomys glareolus and about 85 per cent of lice--to hoplopleura edentula. frequent cases ... | 1981 | 6452609 |
| arthropod transmission of eperythrozoon coccoides in mice. | the association of eperythrozoon coccoides infection in laboratory mice, with commonly encountered external parasites, was examined. transmission of e. coccoides was achieved by infesting recipient mice with as few as 10 live polyplax serrata immediately after they were obtained from donor mice infected with e. coccoides. polyplax serrata removed from such hosts and fasted for 24 hours also were able to initiate e. coccoides infections in recipient mice. transovarial transmission of e. coccoides ... | 1988 | 3184845 |

| occurrence of ectoparasitic arthropods associated with rodents in hail region northern saudi arabia. | ectoparasitic arthropods are a diverse element of the saudi fauna. due to this, a survey of ectoparasites associated with rodents was conducted as a preliminary study in five districts of hail region of northern saudi arabia for the first time. ectoparasites extracted from 750 rodents were sampled and identified by recording their frequency of appearance. results revealed that 1,287 ectoparasites infested 316 of the captured rodent hosts. these ectoparasites parasitized on four species of rodent ... | 2014 | 24838257 |
| characterisation of microsatellite loci in two species of lice, polyplax serrata (phthiraptera: anoplura: polyplacidae) and myrsidea nesomimi (phthiraptera: amblycera: menoponidae). | polymorphic microsatellite loci were characterised for two louse species, the anopluran polyplax serrata burmeister, 1839, parasitising eurasian field mice of the genus apodemus kaup, and the amblyceran myrsidea nesomimi palma et price, 2010, found on mocking birds endemic to the galápagos islands. evolutionary histories of the two parasites show complex patterns influenced both by their geographic distribution and through coevolution with their respective hosts, which renders them prospective e ... | 2015 | 25960560 |
| legionella becoming a mutualist: adaptive processes shaping the genome of symbiont in the louse polyplax serrata. | legionellaceae are intracellular bacteria known as important human pathogens. in the environment, they are mainly found in biofilms associated with amoebas. in contrast to the gammaproteobacterial family enterobacteriaceae, which established a broad spectrum of symbioses with many insect taxa, the only instance of legionella-like symbiont has been reported from lice of the genus polyplax. here, we sequenced the complete genome of this symbiont and compared its main characteristics to other legio ... | 2017 | 29069349 |
