Anaesthetic effects for DPOAE of Meriones unguiculatus.

Effects of crowding and intermittent isolation on gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus).

HULL, E. M., E. CHAPIN AND C. KASTANIOTIS. Effects of crowding and intermittent isolation on gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus). PHYSIOL. BEHAV. 13(6) 723-727, 1974. Gerbils were reared from weaning to adulthood in mixedsex paired, crowded or isolate-crowded conditions, the latter consisting of placing crowded animals into individual boxes for 2 hr per day. Paired males exhibited more ventral mark...

The somatic chromosomes of the Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus).

Exploring binaural hearing in gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) using virtual headphones

The Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus) has become a key species in investigations of the neural processing of sound localization cues in mammals. While its sound localization has been tested extensively under free-field stimulation, many neurophysiological studies use headphones to present signals with binaural localization cues. The gerbil's behavioral sensitivity to binaural cues, howev...

Tyrosinase (Tyr) Gene Mutation in Albino Mongolian Gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus)

Tyrosinase is encoded by the Tyr (c or albino) locus and is the key enzyme in pigment biosynthesis. Loss of function of this enzyme caused by gene mutation results in albinism. Most cases of albinism are caused by missense mutations of tyrosinase. Albino mutations in Tyr have been identified in various animals, including human, mouse, rat, rabbit, cattle, cat, and ferret, but not in gerbil. We ...

Effects of artemisinin and Artemisia extracts on Haemonchus contortus in gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus).

Haemonchus contortus is a blood-sucking abomasal parasite of small ruminants that is responsible for major losses to producers worldwide. Resistance of this nematode to commercial anthelmintics has produced a demand for alternative control methods. Plants in the genus Artemisia have traditionally been used as anthelmintics and whole plants and plant extracts have demonstrated activity against g...
