Study on Ectoparasites of Rhombomys opimus (Rodentia: Gerbillinae); the Main Reservoir Host of Zoonotic Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in a Hyperendemic Foci in Segzi Area, Esfahan Province, Iran [PDF]
Background and purpose: This study was done from October 2016 to October 2017 to determine funa and distribution of ectoparasites of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis reservoirs to prevent and control of zoonotic diseases in the hyperendemic area (Segzi ...

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

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