Description ofCandidatusBartonella fadhilae n. sp. andCandidatusBartonella sanaae n. sp. (Bartonellaceae) fromDipodillus dasyurusandSekeetamys calurus(Gerbillinae)from the Sinai Massif (Egypt)

Vector Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 2017
Bartonella spp. are parasites of mammalian erythrocytes and endothelial cells, transmitted by blood-feeding arthropod ectoparasites. Different species of rodents may constitute the main hosts of Bartonella, including several zoonotic species of ...

Molecular systematics of gerbils and deomyines (Rodentia: Gerbillinae, Deomyinae) and a test of desert adaptation in the tympanic bulla

, 2015
Recent molecular studies in gerbils found multiple instances of discordance between molecular and morphological phylogenies. In this study, we analyse the largest molecular data set to date of gerbils and their sister group the deomyines to estimate ...

Morphology and chromosomes ofTateraLataste 1882 (Rodentia Muridae Gerbillinae) in West Africa [PDF]

Tropical Zoology, 2001
In a sample of the genus Tatera Lataste 1882 from West Africa (Benin and Burkina Faso), we analyzed the cranial and dental morphology and the karyotype (G, R, C and NOR banding). The cranial morphology confirms the attribution of this sample to Tatera kempi Wroughton 1906.

Morphometric analysis of six Gerbillus species (Rodentia, Gerbillinae) from Tunisia [PDF]

Comptes Rendus. Biologies, 2010
Size and shape changes in the skull of the genus Gerbillus were investigated using geometric morphometrics. Six species from Tunisia were studied (G. gerbillus, G. campestris, G. nanus, G. tarabuli, G. simoni and G. latastei). Statistical analyses of shape variability allowed us to discriminate three morphological groups which are congruent with the ...

Natural Intestinal Protozoa in Rodents (Rodentia: Gerbillinae, Murinae, Cricetinae) in Northwestern Iran

Iranian Journal of Parasitology, 2017
Background: Majority of parasitic infections in rodents have zoonotic importance. This study aimed to determine the frequency and intensity of intestinal protozoa infections of rodents including Meriones persicus, Mus musculus and, Cricetulus migratorius.

Behaviour and Breeding in Captivity of the Namaqua Gerbil Desmodillus Auricularis (Cricetidae: Gerbillinae) [PDF]

Zoologica Africana, 1973
Desmodillus auricilimis was kept in observation cages and subjected to an increased number of lighthours. The animal is nocturnal and its activity rhythm was adjusted using a red light to simulate darkness during the day. Three litters were produced from one pair and observations were made on twelve other litters born in the laboratory from pregnant ...

RandomX-chromosome inactivation in interspecific hybrids ofMeriones libycus (♂) ×Meriones shawi (♀) (Rodentia: Gerbillinae) [PDF]

Experientia, 1971
Des cultures obtenues a partir d'hybrides femelles entre deux especes deMeriones a 44 chromosomes et differant par l'acrocentrie (M. shawi) ou la metacentrie (M. libycus) de l'X ont permis l'etude de clones cellulaires. C'est alors tantot l'X metacentrique, tantot l'X acrocentrique qui se revele inactive («latereplicating»). Bien que la proportion 1/1,
