HEMATOLOGICAL FINDINGS IN THE GOLDEN HAMSTER (CRICETUS AURATUS)

Hematological Findings in the Golden Hamster (cricetus Auratus)

Values for hemoglobin, erythrocytes, volume of packed cells, leucocytes, and their distribution, and red blood cell diameter are presented as determined on a group of 114 hamsters of both sexes and of various ages.

The ultrastructure of implantation in the golden hamster (Cricetus auratus).

Previous work on the early development of the golden hamster includes the investigation of Ochs (1908), Graves (1945) and Ward (1948), all at the level of the light microscope. Austin (1963) has examined the ultrastructure of the oocytes of the golden hamster while Enders & Schlafke (1965) have observed the pre-implantation stages of pregnancy. The ultrastructure of implantation has been studie...

The ossification of the middle and internal ear of the golden hamster (Cricetus auratus).

The Experimental Transmission of Rat Leprosy to the Golden Hamster (cricetus Auratus)*

Histological reactions produced by experimental inoculation of Mycobacterium leprae murium into the golden hamster (Cricetus auratus).

Experimental inoculation of Mycobact erium lepme murium into the golden hamster, first done by Balfour-Jones, produces a generalized infection of slow but progressive evolution, with lesions in various organs (2,4,14,15). The Chinese hamster, however, is apparently not susceptible to this infection (13). Observations on this infection of the hamster have been mainly from the bacteriological poi...
