Occurrence and treatment of the mange mite Notoedres muris in marsh rats from South America.
The mange mite Notoedres muris is reported from a new host, the marsh rat (Holochilus brasiliensis) from Argentina.

The naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber) is one of the most promising models used to study genome maintenance systems, including the effective repair of damage to DNA. The naked mole-rat is the longest lived rodent species, which is extraordinarily resistant to cancer and has a number of other unique phenotypic traits. For at least 80% of its lifespan, this animal shows no signs of aging or a...
متن کاملMystromys albicaudatus – White-tailed Rat
Taxonomic notes: Originally described in the genus Otomys, molecular studies have confirmed that Mystromys belongs in the Nesomyidae family and represents a separate ancient lineage (the Mystromyinae) divergent from the Cricetomyinae, Dendromurinae, Petromyscinae and Nesomyinae (Jansa et al. 1999). This genus is monotypic and only one species is presently recognized, so this species is a phylog...
