Development of a single-nucleotide polymorphism panel genotyping system for genetic analysis of Chinese hamsters. [PDF]

Animal Model Exp Med
Here, we developed a novel Chinese hamster genetic quality detection system using single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers following this process. To obtain SNP loci, we conducted whole genome sequencing on 24 Chinese hamsters. Then, we employed an SNP loci screening criterion that we set up previously and initially screened 214 SNP loci with wide ...

Lipopolysaccharide‐Induced Bone Loss in Rodent Models: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 198-213, January 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Osteoporosis has traditionally been characterized by underlying endocrine mechanisms, though evidence indicates a role of inflammation in its pathophysiology. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a component of gram‐negative bacteria that reside in the intestines, can be released into circulation and stimulate the immune system, upregulating bone ...

Calomyscid Rodents (Rodentia: Calomyscidae) as a Potential Reservoir of Zoonotic Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in a Mountainous Residential Area in the Plateau of Iran: Inferring from Molecular Data of kDNA and ITS2 Genes of Leishmania Major

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), a neglected tropical disease, is an important health problem in Fars Province, southern Iran. Fars, the fourth most populous Province in Iran, is the center of both anthroponotic and zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (ZCL). Rodents, the reservoir of Leishmania major, play an important role in transmitting ZCL.

Demography, disorders and mortality of pet hamsters under primary veterinary care in the United Kingdom in 2016

Journal of Small Animal Practice, Volume 63, Issue 10, Page 747-755, October 2022., 2022
Background Hamsters are popular pets worldwide but there is limited evidence on the overall health issues of pet hamsters. This study aimed to characterise the demography, disorder prevalence and mortality of pet hamsters in the United Kingdom. Method The VetCompass study included anonymised clinical records of 16,605 hamsters.

Biomechanical adaptations for burrowing in the incisor enamel microstructure of Geomyidae and Heteromyidae (Rodentia: Geomyoidea)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 14, Page 9447-9459, July 2021., 2021
Incisors of fossil and extant Geomyidae (pocket gophers) and Heteromyidae (pocket mice, spiny pocket mice, kangaroo mice, kangaroo rats) show enamel with built‐in failure prevention related to chisel‐tooth digging. This distinctive microstructure character strengthens the joint phylogenetic origin of these North American rodents because it is absent in

Monitoring of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection in mustelids

EFSA Journal, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2021., 2021
Abstract American mink and ferret are highly susceptible to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2), but no information is available for other mustelid species. SARS‐CoV‐2 spreads very efficiently within mink farms once introduced, by direct and indirect contact, high within‐farm animal density increases the chance for transmission.

Supplementary Material for: Molecular Cytogenetic Characterization of C-Band-Positive Heterochromatin of the Greater Long-Tailed Hamster (Tscherskia triton, Cricetinae)

, 2022
The greater long-tailed hamster (Tscherskia triton, Cricetinae) has a unique karyotype (2n = 28), containing 11 pairs of acrocentric chromosomes with large C-band-positive centromeric heterochromatin blocks.

Untersuchungen zur Systematik der Hamster (Cricetinae) sowie zur genetischen Populationsstruktur und Phylogeografie des Feldhamsters Cricetus cricetus (Linneaus, 1758) und des Goldhamsters Mesocricetus auratus (Waterhouse, 1839) [PDF]

, 2007
Die echten Hamster (Cricetinae) repräsentieren eine Nagetiergruppe, die trotz ihrer Popularität als Haus- und Labortiere, kaum populationsgenetisch untersucht wurde.

Risk assessment of nitrate and nitrite in feed

EFSA Journal, Volume 18, Issue 11, November 2020., 2020
Abstract The European Commission asked EFSA for a scientific opinion on the risks to animal health related to nitrite and nitrate in feed. For nitrate ion, the EFSA Panel on Contaminants in the Food Chain (CONTAM Panel) identified a BMDL10 of 64 mg nitrate/kg body weight (bw) per day for adult cattle, based on methaemoglobin (MetHb) levels in animal's ...

De Novo-Whole Genome Assembly of the Roborovski Dwarf Hamster (Phodopus roborovskii) Genome: An Animal Model for Severe/Critical COVID-19 [PDF]

, 2022
The Roborovski dwarf hamster Phodopus roborovskii belongs to the Phodopus genus, one of the seven within Cricetinae subfamily. Like other rodents such as mice, rats, or ferrets, hamsters can be important animal models for a range of diseases. Whereas the
