Cultivation of Giardia duodenalis in Mongolian gerbils.
The Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus) is susceptible to infection with Giardia duodenalis trophozoites. Each animal was orally infected with 0.5 ml Diamond's TYIS-33 culture medium containing 10(6) trophozoites. Cysts were then collected and concentrated by sucrose gradient centrifugation. G. duodenalis cysts were first observed in feces on day 5 post-infection. The characteristic of G. ...

SCHNEIDER, J. R., A. M. VELTRI, W. A. DEGRAW AND J. A. FRENCH. Telemetered temperature monitoring in preweanling Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus). PHYSIOL BEHAV 57(I), 199-203, 1995.--Like most small mammals, Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) are born without the ability to maintain core body temperature (Tb). Breeding adults, juvenile alloparents, nest materials, and other lit...
متن کاملEffects of siblings on reproductive maturation and infanticidal behavior in cooperatively breeding Mongolian gerbils.
Mongolian gerbils living with their natal families undergo delayed reproductive maturation while helping to rear their younger siblings, whereas those housed away from their natal families may mature earlier but often respond aggressively to unfamiliar pups. We tested whether cohabitation with pups contributes to reproductive suppression and inhibition of infanticidal behavior, using young male...
متن کاملSocial suppression of female reproductive maturation and infanticidal behavior in cooperatively breeding Mongolian gerbils.
In several cooperatively breeding species, reproductively suppressed, nonbreeding females are attracted to infants and routinely provide alloparental care, while breeding females may attack or kill other females' infants. The mechanisms underlying the transition from alloparental to infanticidal behavior are unknown. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that this transition is associated wit...
