Investigation of the Bruce effect in the Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus).

The Effect of Diethylcarbamazine on Microfilariae of Brugia pahangi in Mongolian Jirds (Meriones unguiculatus)

Diethylcarbamazine (DEC) was effective in reducing microfilarial densities of Brugia pahangi in Mongolian jirds (Meriones unguiculatus) when it was administered intraperitoneally at the daily dosage of 300 mg/kg of body weight either for 5 consecutive days or every 3 days for 43 days with the total of 15 doses. The latter treatment scheme seemed to be more effective than the former, suggesting ...

Determination of Giardia lamblia cyst infective dose for the Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus).

The purpose of this study was to determine the 50% infective dose for Giardia lamblia (CDC:0284:1) cysts in Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus). The log10 50% infective dose results calculated by probit analysis and the Spearman-Karber method were 2.45 and 2.50, respectively.

The somatic chromosomes of the Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus).

Sequencing of cDNA encoding serum albumin and its extrahepatic synthesis in the Mongolian gerbil, Meriones unguiculatus.

We have sequenced serum albumin cDNA from liver of the Mongolian gerbil, Meriones unguiculatus. The deduced amino acid sequence showed 82.6% and 73.6% identity with the corresponding proteins from rats and humans, respectively. Identical cDNA was detected in pancreas by reverse transcription followed by polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Further amplification of cDNA by nested PCR revealed the...
