The Effects of Splenectomy on Pattern of Nitric Oxide Induction and Pathogenesis of Rodent Malaria Caused by Plasmodium berghei Infection
Background and Aims: The aim of this study is to clarify nitric oxide (NO)-production by spleen and the importance of spleen in malaria infection in murine model. Materials and Methods: Thirty outbred NMRI female mice were divided into four groups, Group I: No intervention (Healthy control), Group II: With splenectomy (Healthy test), Group III: No intervention, Inoculation of contaminated bloo...
متن کاملMuroid rodent phylogenetics: 900-species tree reveals increasing diversification rates
We combined new sequence data for more than 300 muroid rodent species with our previously published sequences for up to five nuclear and one mitochondrial genes to generate the most widely and densely sampled hypothesis of evolutionary relationships across Muroidea. An exhaustive screening procedure for publically available sequences was implemented to avoid the propagation of taxonomic errors ...
متن کاملQuantifying Damage Potential of Three Rodent Species on Sugarcane
Cotton rats, roof rats, and rice rats collectively inflict significant damage to sugarcane crops in the Everglades Agricultural Area; however, the relative damage inflicted by each species is unknown. A feeding trial experiment showed that some differences existed in the grams of sugarcane consumed per gram of body mass among species (male cotton rats: 0.39 ± 0.03g; female cotton rats: 0.34 ± 0...
متن کاملThe relationship between species diversity and environmental factors in Chahar Bagh mountain rangelands
Background and objectives: In order to properly manage rangeland ecosystems, it is necessary to study the relationship between ecological factors in nature such as elevation, climate and soil factors with vegetation and living organisms. In this regard, the present study was conducted to investigate the relationship between species diversity and environmental factors (Physical and chemical char...
متن کاملDirected seed dispersal towards areas with low conspecific tree density by a scatter-hoarding rodent.
Scatter-hoarding animals spread out cached seeds to reduce density-dependent theft of their food reserves. This behaviour could lead to directed dispersal into areas with lower densities of conspecific trees, where seed and seedling survival are higher, and could profoundly affect the spatial structure of plant communities. We tested this hypothesis with Central American agoutis and Astrocaryum...
