Clinical, pathological, and molecular investigation of Mycoplasma pulmonis-induced murine respiratory mycoplasmosis in a rat (Rattus norvegicus) colony
Aim Mycoplasma pulmonis (MP) remains potentially important rodent pathogen causing murine respiratory mycoplasmosis (MRM) which may go undiagnosed due to its asymptomatic nature. In the present study, we carried out clinical, pathological, and molecular investigations of MP-induced MRM in a rat colony. Materials and Methods Two female Wistar rats were observed to be diseased in animal facilit...
متن کاملEvaluation of Mycoplasma Muris and Pulmonis infections in Genital and Respiratory Tracts
Abstract Mycoplasma pulmonis and muris infections have been associated with several diseases in conventionally housed laboratory rat and mice colonies. In naturally infected of mycoplasma pulmonis in mice and rat colonies, the respiratory organ appears to be the favored site of colonization; so, it was not surprising to see that infection spread from the site of urogenital tract to the respirat...
متن کاملA survey on helminthic infection in mice (Mus musculus) and rats (Rattus norvegicus and Rattus rattus) in Kermanshah, Iran
Parasitic infections of rodents can compromise scientific research as well as the health of the animals and humans. Based on previous studies, infection rate of parasitic helminths is different in various regions of Iran. The current survey was aimed to determine endoparasitic helminths infection in 138 trapped rodents of Kermanshah county, Iran. Mice and rats were trapped using metal snares fr...
متن کاملA Biorobotic Investigation of Norway Rat Pups (Rattus norvegicus) in an Arena
Biorobotics research typically focuses on simulating specific aspects of animal biomechanics, sensory systems, and computational abilities. We have developed a novel methodology for integrating the study of biorobotics and animal behavior. We describe several metrics for characterizing and comparing rat pup and robot behavior without presupposing behavioral goal states. In the rat pup and robot...
متن کاملInteractions between murine alveolar macrophages and Mycoplasma pulmonis in vitro.
In comparison to syngeneic fibroblasts, alveolar macrophages collected from Fischer 344 rats demonstrated a significant ability to decrease the growth rate of cell-associated Mycoplasma pulmonis, even in the absence of specific actimycoplasmal antibodies. However, when exposed to thallium acetate (a cytotoxic heavy metal), macrophages supported growth of mycoplasmas almost as well as did untrea...
