Morphometry and acetylcholinesterase activity of the myenteric plexus of the wild mouse Calomys callosus [PDF]
The myenteric plexus of the digestive tract of the wild mouse Calomys callosus was examined using a histochemical method that selectively stains nerve cells, and the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) histochemical technique in whole-mount preparations. Neuronal density was 1,500 +/- 116 neurons/cm2 (mean +/- SEM) in the esophagus, 8,900 +/- 1,518 in the ...

Acquired and Congenital Ocular Toxoplasmosis Experimentally Induced in Calomys callosus (Rodentia, Cricetidae) [PDF]
An experimental model for acquired and congenital ocular toxoplasmosis as well as a model to induce experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) was investigated in Calomys callosus. Toxoplasma gondii, ME-49 strain, was used to infect males and pregnant- and not pregnant-females while S-antigen, a major glycoprotein of the retinal photoreceptor cell, was used

Study of the social hierarchy and territoriality of Calomys callosus Rengger, 1830 (Rodentia: Cricetidae) [PDF]
The genus Calomys comprises a lot of species distributed throughout South America. The species C. callosus Rengger, 1830 occur in Brazil, been often used in laboratory experiments. This work involved a study of aggressive behavior and dominance, which are aspects related to hierarchy and territoriality, among C. callosus males kept in a laboratory. The

Modulation of parasitemia and antibody responce to Trypanosoma cruzy by cyclophosphamide in Calomys callosus (Rodentia, Cricetidae) [PDF]
Calomys callosus a wild rodent, previously described as harboring Trypanosoma cruzi, has a low susceptibility to infection by this protozoan. Experiments were designed to evaluate the contribution of the immune response to the resistance to T. cruzi infection exhibited by C. calossus. Animals were submitted to injections of high (200 mg/kg body weight)

Calomys callosus: an alternative model to study fibrosis in Schistosomiasis mansoni: the pathology of the acute phase [PDF]
Twenty Calomys callosus, Rengger, 1830 (Rodentia-Cricetidae) were studied in the early stage of the acute schistosomal mansoni infection (42nd day). The same number of Swiss Webster mice were used as a comparative standard. Liver and intestinal sections, fixed in formalin-Millonig and embedded in paraffin, were stained with hematoxilin and eosin, PAS ...
