SARS-CoV-2 infection, neuropathogenesis and transmission among deer mice: Implications for spillback to New World rodents. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2021
Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) emerged in late 2019 in China and rapidly became pandemic. As with other coronaviruses, a preponderance of evidence suggests the virus originated in horseshoe bats (Rhinolophus spp.) and may have infected an intermediate

Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems: Charting Sin Nombre Virus Infections in Deer Mice

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2000
We tested environmental data from remote sensing and geographic information system maps as indicators of Sin Nombre virus (SNV) infections in deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus) populations in the Walker River Basin, Nevada and California.

The genetics of morphological and behavioural island traits in deer mice. [PDF]

Proc Biol Sci, 2019
Animals on islands often exhibit dramatic differences in morphology and behaviour compared with mainland individuals, a phenomenon known as the ‘island syndrome’. These differences are thought to be adaptations to island environments, but the extent to which they have a genetic basis or instead represent plastic responses to ...

SARS-CoV-2 infection and transmission in the North American deer mouse

Nature Communications, 2021
Deer mice are natural hosts for a number of human pathogens. Here, Griffin et al. report that intranasal exposure of the North American deer mouse to SARS-CoV-2 results in virus replication and shedding, despite causing only mild or asymptomatic illness.

Anthropogenic noise decreases activity and calling behavior in wild mice [PDF]

PeerJ, 2023
Background Animals rely on sound to mediate a myriad of daily activities, and anthropogenic noise is a pollutant that alters the natural soundscape within which they are active.

Deer Mice As Laboratory Animals [PDF]

ILAR Journal, 1998
Although laboratory mice (Mus) and rats (Rattus) are the most widely used research rodents, deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) and their congeneric species are favored as nontraditional alternatives for some purposes. Mice of the native genus Peromyscus are the most abundant and widely distributed rodents in North America.

Age and aerobic performance in deer mice [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2003
SUMMARYAge impacts the phenotype of all multicellular animals, but lifetime changes in physiological traits are poorly understood for all but a few species. Here, we describe a cross-sectional study of age effects on body composition, aerobic performance and ventilation in deer mice Peromyscus maniculatus.

Photoperiod and Reproduction in Female Deer Mice [PDF]

Biology of Reproduction, 1982
Female deer mice were exposed to a short day (SD, 6L:18D) photoperiod beginning during 1 of 3 stages of life. In the first experiment, exposure to SD during adulthood resulted in a minimal disruption of reproductive condition; many females bore 2 litters after the onset of this treatment.

Development and Characterization of a Sin Nombre Virus Transmission Model in Peromyscus maniculatus

Viruses, 2019
In North America, Sin Nombre virus (SNV) is the main cause of hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS), a severe respiratory disease with a fatality rate of 35⁻40%. SNV is a zoonotic pathogen carried by deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus), and few

Oral Vaccination With Recombinant Vesicular Stomatitis Virus Expressing Sin Nombre Virus Glycoprotein Prevents Sin Nombre Virus Transmission in Deer Mice

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020
Sin Nombre virus (SNV) is the major cause of hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) in North America, a severe respiratory disease with a high fatality rate. SNV is carried by Peromyscus maniculatus, or deer mice, and human infection occurs following
