Scrapie versus Chronic Wasting Disease in White-Tailed Deer
White-tailed deer are susceptible to scrapie (WTD scrapie) after oronasal inoculation with the classical scrapie agent from sheep. Deer affected by WTD scrapie are difficult to differentiate from deer infected with chronic wasting disease (CWD).

The deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus) is the primary reservoir for Sin Nombre virus (SNV) in the western United States. Rodent surveillance for hantavirus in Death Valley National Park, California, USA, revealed cactus mice (P.

This review evaluates the clinical potential and limitations of intranasal (IN) drug administration in veterinary anaesthesia and emergency care. IN delivery can provide clinically relevant sedation, analgesia and drug reversal, but its success is not universally reliable and is strongly influenced by species‐specific anatomy, formulation ...

ABSTRACT Given the high levels of endemism, diversity, and increasing anthropogenic impacts in tropical regions, studies on species interactions and ecological networks are urgently needed to understand community responses to environmental change. Increasingly, molecular methods are used to monitor biodiversity and identify species interactions.

Fifteen species of native mice of the genus Peromyscus may be found in the United States. The two most common and widely distributed species are the deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus, Fig. 1) and the white-footed mouse (P. leucopus).

Metabolic recovery from submaximal exercise in hypoxia acclimated high altitude deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) [PDF]
Animals living at high-altitude are faced with unremitting low oxygen availability. This can make it difficult to perform daily tasks that require increases in aerobic metabolism.

A Longitudinal Study of Sin Nombre Virus Prevalence in Rodents, Southeastern Arizona
We determined the prevalence of Sin Nombre virus antibodies in small mammals in southeastern Arizona. Of 1,234 rodents (from 13 species) captured each month from May through December 1995, only mice in the genus Peromyscus were seropositive.

A single amino acid change (L108I) combined with PrP overexpression drives spontaneous atypical prion formation in mice, enabling also efficient propagation of diverse prion strains. This model allows studying how spontaneous prion diseases arise and provides powerful tools for investigating strain emergence, transmission barriers, and mechanisms ...

Regulatory changes contribute to the adaptive enhancement of thermogenic capacity in high-altitude deer mice [PDF]
In response to hypoxic stress, many animals compensate for a reduced cellular O2 supply by suppressing total metabolism, thereby reducing O2 demand. For small endotherms that are native to high-altitude environments, this is not always a viable strategy,

ABSTRACT Haul‐out behavior is a key component of the behavioral ecology of pinnipeds and serves essential resting functions. Various intrinsic and extrinsic factors have been shown to determine the occurrence of haul‐out events. However, in the Baltic Sea, a nontidal, semi‐enclosed shelf sea, the drivers of haul‐out behavior in seals are not well ...
