Diversity and Distributions, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 349-363, March 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim Deforestation of the Atlantic Forest of eastern Paraguay has been recent but extensive, resulting in a fragmented landscape highly influenced by forest edges. We examined edge effects on multiple dimensions of small mammalian diversity. Location Forest fragments of eastern Paraguayan Atlantic Forest. Methods We trapped small mammal species

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 2059-2066, September 2022., 2022 Out of 13 samples, 69.2% (n = 9) were detected with Hepatocystis sp., while 15.4% (n = 2) were positive with Hepatozoon ophisauri. Two individuals had multiple infections from both species. This information is essential for the future prevention of zoonotic outbreaks and surveillance programmes.

Copulatory behavior of Calomys callosus [PDF]
Bulletin of the Psychonomic Society, 1979 A quantitative description of copulatory behavior in Calomys callosus (laucha de campo) was obtained under laboratory conditions. The copulatory pattern is characterized by intravaginal thrusting and multiple intromissions preceding ejaculation. Copulatory locks were rare.

The adjustment of Calomys callosus (Rodentia, Cricetidae) to food deprivation [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Zoologia, 1989 The adjustment of Calomys callosus (Rodentia, Cricetidae) to intermittent food deprivation was investigated. Animals subjected either to 24-hr or to 48-hr repeated periods of deprivation successfully compensated, showing (1) increases in post-fast intake relatively to the intake by control animals; (2) rapid recovery of the baseline levels of body ...

Animal Models for the Study of Rodent‐Borne Hemorrhagic Fever Viruses: Arenaviruses and Hantaviruses
BioMed Research International, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 Human pathogenic hantaviruses and arenaviruses are maintained in nature by persistent infection of rodent carrier populations. Several members of these virus groups can cause significant disease in humans that is generically termed viral hemorrhagic fever (HF) and is characterized as a febrile illness with an increased propensity to cause acute ...

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Trypanosoma cruzi infection was studied in mouse lines selected for maximal (AIRmax) or minimal (AIRmin) acute inflammatory reaction and for high (HIII) or low (LIII) antibody (Ab) responses to complex antigens. Resistance was associated with gender (females) and strain—the high responder lines AIRmax and HIII were resistant.
