DNA Barcoding of Sigmodontine Rodents: Identifying Wildlife Reservoirs of Zoonoses
Species identification through DNA barcoding is a tool to be added to taxonomic procedures, once it has been validated. Applying barcoding techniques in public health would aid in the identification and correct delimitation of the distribution of rodents from the subfamily Sigmodontinae. These rodents are reservoirs of etiological agents of zoonoses including arenaviruses, hantaviruses, Chagas ...
متن کاملNectomys squamipes microsatellites and homologous loci in sigmodontine rodents.
Three monomorphic and four highly polymorphic microsatellites of Nectomys squamipes were isolated and characterised in a sample of 141 specimens from eight different Brazilian localities. These seven microsatellites and four others previously described in this species were tested in seven other nonfocus sigmodontine species. At least three loci were successfully amplified in every species, but ...
متن کاملTransmission study of Andes hantavirus infection in wild sigmodontine rodents.
Our study was designed to contribute to an understanding of the timing and conditions under which transmission of Andes hantavirus in Oligoryzomys longicaudatus reservoir populations takes place. Mice were caged in test habitats consisting of steel drums containing holding cages, where seronegative rodents were exposed to wild seropositive individuals by freely sharing the same cage or being se...
متن کاملCompositional and phylogenetic dissimilarity of host communities drives dissimilarity of ectoparasite assemblages: geographical variation and scale-dependence.
We tested the hypothesis that compositional and/or phylogenetic dissimilarity of host assemblages affect compositional and/or phylogenetic dissimilarity of parasite assemblages, to different extents depending on scale, using regional surveys of fleas parasitic on small mammals from 4 biogeographical realms. Using phylogenetic community dissimilarity metric, we calculated the compositional and p...
متن کاملPhylogenetic history of LINE-1 among arvicolid rodents.
The extent of restriction fragment sharing among arvicolid rodents was examined following Southern blotting with a reverse transcriptase region probe from long interspersed nuclear element 1 (LINE-1 or L1). DNAs from 30 species belonging to nine genera were digested with 11 restriction endonucleases. Following hybridization discrete bands were scored with respect to their presence or absence an...
