A survey on intestinal parasites of golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) in the northeast of Iran.

The aims of this study were to provide baseline knowledge about gastrointestinal parasites in golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) that inhabit the Mashhad area, and to analyze possible independent variable from October 2011-August 2012. To determine the prevalence of intestinal parasites in golden hamster, faecal samples were tested specifically for nematode eggs, protozoan oocysts and sporoc...

Need of luteinizing hormone for early pregnancy in the golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus).

Hypophysectomy performed at any stage of pregnancy has been reported to be deleterious for maintenance of gestation in the hamster (Greenwald, 1967). On the basis of his observation that a combination of follicle stimulating hormone (fsh) and prolactin could maintain pregnancy in hypophysectomized pregnant hamsters, Greenwald (1967) suggested that the luteotrophic complex in this animal is made...

Blood cell factors and tumor growth in the cheek pouch of the golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus).

Retinotopic organization of striate and extrastriate visual cortex in the golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus).

The visual topography within striate and lateral extrastriate visual cortices was studied in adult hamsters. The cortical areas 17 and 18a in the left hemisphere were electrophysiologically mapped upon stimulation of the right eye, correlating receptive field positions in the visual field with cortical recording sites. Reference lesions were placed at selected cortical sites. Like in rats and o...
