متن کاملDetection of Echinococcus granulosus infection in dogs
Cystic Echinococcosis is an important zoonosis in the sheep rising areas of Iran.

A selected PoAb was used for coproantigen detection in faecal samples obtained from animals naturally infected with Echinococcus...

متن کاملGeneric Revision in the Holarctic Ground Squirrel Genus Spermophilus
The substantial body of research on Holarctic ground squirrels amassed over the past century documents considerable variability in morphological, cytogenetic, ecological, and behavioral attributes in the genus Spermophilus F. Cuvier, 1825. Recent molecular phylogenetic studies suggest that the traditionally recognized genera Marmota Blumenbach, 1779 (marmots), Cynomys Rafinesque, 1817 (prairie ...
متن کاملNatural entrainment without dawn and dusk: the case of the European ground squirrel (Spermophilus citellus).
Observational data collected in the field and in enclosures show that diurnal, burrow-dwelling European ground squirrels (Spermophilus citellus) never were above ground during twilight at dawn or at dusk. The animals emerged on average 4.02 h (SD = 0.45) after civil twilight at dawn and retreated in their burrows on average 2.87 h (SD = 0.47) before civil twilight at dusk. Daily patterns of lig...
