Seasonal changes in thermoregulatory responses to hypoxia in the Eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus).
Mammalian heterotherms are known to be more tolerant of low oxygen levels than homeotherms. However, heterotherms demonstrate extreme seasonality in daily heterothermy and torpor expression. Because hypoxia depresses body temperature (T(b)) and metabolism in mammals, it was of interest to see if seasonal comparisons of normothermic animals of a species capable of hibernation produce changes in ...
متن کاملNaturally acquired rabies in an eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus).
Rabies in an Eastern chipmunk was detected by fluorescent-antibody testing and mouse inoculation. The results were independently confirmed, and the virus was recovered from tissue culture.
متن کاملCutaneous epitheliotropic T-cell lymphoma with dissemination to the liver in an eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus).
Cutaneous epitheliotropic T-cell lymphoma with liver metastasis was diagnosed in a 10-year-old eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus). Physical findings included intracutaneous swellings, ulcerated plaques and nodules, hypotrichosis and erythema of the skin. Fine needle aspiration from the skin lesions showed a population of large lymphocytes and lymphoblasts, and was helpful in establishing the di...
متن کاملMovement Patterns of Eastern Chipmunks (tamias Striatus) near Roads
Previous studies suggest that eastern chipmunks (Tamias striatus) avoid roads, but it is unclear whether vehicle traffic plays a role in this avoidance. The purpose of this study was to determine whether road avoidance in chipmunks increases with traffic. We tracked the movements of 68 chipmunks released near roads with widely varying volumes of traffic. Our results suggest that chipmunks respo...
متن کاملWest Nile Virus Viremia in Eastern Chipmunks (Tamias striatus) Sufficient for Infecting Different Mosquitoes
In eastern chipmunks (Tamias striatus) inoculated intramuscularly with 101.5 to 105.7 PFU of West Nile virus (WNV), serum titers developed sufficient to infect Aedes triseriatus (Say), Ae. vexans (Meigen), and Culex pipiens (L.). Mean titers (95% confidence interval) of 8 chipmunks were 103.9(3.3-4.5), 106.7(6.4-7.0), and 105.8(4.1-7.5) PFU/mL on days 1-3 postinoculation (p.i.) and 105.8 PFU/mL...
