| further study on physaloptera clausa rudolphi, 1819 (spirurida: physalopteridae) from the amur hedgehog erinaceus amurensis schrenk (eulipotyphla: erinaceidae). | in the present study, light and scanning electron microscopy (sem) were used to further study the detailed morphology of physaloptera clausa rudolphi, 1819, based on the material collected from the amur hedgehog e. amurensis schrenk in china. the results revealed a few previously unreported morphological features and some morphological and morphometric variability between our specimens and the previous studies. the present supplementary morphological characters and morphometric data could help u ... | 2017 | 29035865 |
| complete mitochondrial genome of the amur hedgehog erinaceus amurensis (erinaceidae) and higher phylogeny of the family erinaceidae. | we sequenced and characterized the complete mitogenome (kx964606) of the amur hedgehog erinaceus amurensis to provide more data for comparative mitogenomics of the genus erinaceus (erinaceidae). the mitogenome of e. amurensis is a circular molecule 16,941 bp long, consisting of a control region and a conserved set of 37 genes containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 trna genes, and two rrna genes (12s rrna and 16s rrna). the mitogenome of e. amurensis is at-biased, with a nucleotide composition of ... | 2017 | 28198504 |
| identification of a novel betacoronavirus (merbecovirus) in amur hedgehogs from china. | while dromedaries are the immediate animal source of middle east respiratory syndrome (mers) epidemic, viruses related to mers coronavirus (mers-cov) have also been found in bats as well as hedgehogs. to elucidate the evolution of mers-cov-related viruses and their interspecies transmission pathway, samples were collected from different mammals in china. a novel coronavirus related to mers-cov, erinaceus amurensis hedgehog coronavirus hku31 (ea-hedcov hku31), was identified from two amur hedgeho ... | 2019 | 31653070 |
| detection of intestinal parasites and genetic characterization of enterocytozoon bieneusi in hedgehogs from china. | microsporidia are a group of unicellular and opportunistic intestinal parasites in which enterocytozoon bieneusi is a frequent species causing microsporidial infections in humans. many domesticated and wild animals have been shown to be hosts of e. bieneusi and other microsporidia. the role of hedgehogs in the ecology of microsporidia is unclear; therefore, we investigated the prevalence and genetic diversity of e. bieneusi, cryptosporidium, and blastocystis spp. in hedgehogs (erinaceus amurensi ... | 2020 | 33170090 |
| occurrence and genotyping of coxiella burnetii in hedgehogs in china. | coxiella burnetii is the causative agent of query fever (q fever), and distributes broadly in environment. livestock are identified as main reservoirs, which may infect people through their contaminative urine, feces, milk, and birth products. wild animals can also be the potential carriers and transmitters of c. burnetii. to understand the geographic distribution and host species of c. burnetii in china, we investigated the prevalence of c. burnetii in hedgehogs (erinaceus amurensis) in hubei p ... | 2020 | 32301684 |
| monitoring of environmental persistent organic pollutants in hair samples collected from wild terrestrial mammals of primorsky krai, russia. | persistent organic pollutants (pops) constitute a wide range of chemicals. their release into the environment has raised great concern due to their potentially harmful impact in humans and wildlife species. the aim of this current study was to detect selected pops in hair samples of wild terrestrial mammals from primorsky krai, russia, so as to assess potential environmental exposure. the tested wild species were leopard cat, musk deer, wolf, amur hedgehog, and raccoon dog. the targeted organoch ... | 2019 | 30666573 |
