Natural History of Sin Nombre Virus in Western Colorado

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 1999
A mark-recapture longitudinal study of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody to Sin Nombre virus (SNV) in rodent populations in western Colorado (1994—results summarized to October 1997) indicates the presence of SNV or a closely related hantavirus at two ...

Low frequency groans indicate larger and more dominant Fallow Deer (Dama dama) males [PDF]

, 2008
Background: Models of honest advertisement predict that sexually selected calls should signal male quality. In most vertebrates, high quality males have larger body sizes that determine higher social status and in turn higher reproductive success ...

Generation of competent bone marrow-derived antigen presenting cells from the deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus)

BMC Immunology, 2004
Background Human infections with Sin Nombre virus (SNV) and related New World hantaviruses often lead to hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS), a sometimes fatal illness.

Persistent effects of pair bonding in lung cancer cell growth in monogamous Peromyscus californicus

eLife, 2021
Epidemiological evidence suggests that social interactions and especially bonding between couples influence tumorigenesis, yet whether this is due to lifestyle changes, homogamy (likelihood of individuals to marry people of similar health), or directly ...

On the Origin and Spread of an Adaptive Allele in Deer Mice [PDF]

Science, 2009
Adapting Coat Color Simple phenotypic changes can often be the target of selection—for example, variations in coat color that provide protection against detection by predators. Linnen et al. (p.

Restored and Natural Wetland Small Mammal Communities in West Virginia, USA

Land, 2022
Wetland restoration is a common practice, and, in many cases, it is for mitigation to offset losses of natural wetlands due to human interference. Researchers commonly compare bird, amphibian, and reptile communities between these wetlands and natural ...

Epidemiology and fitness effects of wood mouse herpesvirus in a natural host population [PDF]

, 2012
Rodent gammaherpesviruses have become important models for understanding human herpesvirus diseases. In particular, interactions between murid herpesvirus 4 and Mus musculus (a non-natural host species) have been extensively studied under controlled ...

Potential role of masting by introduced bamboos in deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) population irruptions holds public health consequences.

PLoS ONE, 2015
We hypothesized that the ongoing naturalization of frost/shade tolerant Asian bamboos in North America could cause environmental consequences involving introduced bamboos, native rodents and ultimately humans.

Increased Detection of Sin Nombre Hantavirus RNA in Antibody-Positive Deer Mice from Montana, USA: Evidence of Male Bias in RNA Viremia

Viruses, 2013
Hantaviruses are widespread emergent zoonotic agents that cause unapparent or limited disease in their rodent hosts, yet cause acute, often fatal pulmonary or renal infections in humans.
