Characterization of 15 tetranucleotide microsatellite markers in the ringtail (Bassariscus astutus).

چکیده
We characterized 15 polymorphic tetranucleotide microsatellite markers for the ringtail, Bassariscus astutus. We tested these loci in 21 individuals captured in Arizona and Texas and found six to 19 alleles per locus. Observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.381 to 1.000 and from 0.381 to 0.941, respectively. All loci were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, and none were in linkage disequilibrium. These markers may be used to investigate population genetics and mating patterns in this species.

Francisella tularensis ssp. holarctica in Ringtail Possums, Australia
The occurrence of Francisella tularensis outside of endemic areas, such as North America and Eurasia, has been enigmatic. We report the metagenomic discovery and isolation of F. tularensis ssp. holarctica biovar japonica from diseased ringtail possums in Sydney, Australia. This finding confirms the presence of F. tularensis in the Southern Hemisphere.
متن کاملQuantitative urinary excretion of unmetabolised N tau-[Me-14C] methylhistidine by the common ringtail possum (Pseudocheirus peregrinus) marsupialia.
Six common ringtail possums (Pseudocheirus peregrinus) were intravenously injected with a standard dose of radioactive 3-Methylhistidine (N tau-[Me-14C]MeH). The dose was rapidly and quantitatively excreted by the possums. More than 90% of radioactivity was recovered within 3 days. Thin layer chromatography and mass spectroscopy showed that 97% of recovered radioactivity was associated with unm...

1. The South American ringtail monkey, Cebus capucina, has been infected with the virus of poliomyelitis as found in ultracentrifuged concentrates from poliomyelitic human stools. 2. This species was also found susceptible to poliomyelitis virus found in rhesus and cynomolgus monkey cords, representing early generations of virus derived from two different human sources and from flies trapped in...
متن کاملLong-term dynamics of a fragmented rainforest mammal assemblage.
Habitat fragmentation is a severe threat to tropical biotas, but its long-term effects are poorly understood. We evaluated longer-term changes in the abundance of larger (>1 kg) mammals in fragmented and intact rainforest and in riparian "corridors" in tropical Queensland, with data from 190 spotlighting surveys conducted in 1986-1987 and 2006-2007. In 1986-1987 when most fragments were already...
