Calomyscid Rodents (Rodentia: Calomyscidae) as a Potential Reservoir of Zoonotic Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in a Mountainous Residential Area in the Plateau of Iran: Inferring from Molecular Data of kDNA and ITS2 Genes of Leishmania Major

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), a neglected tropical disease, is an important health problem in Fars Province, southern Iran. Fars, the fourth most populous Province in Iran, is the center of both anthroponotic and zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (ZCL). Rodents, the reservoir of Leishmania major, play an important role in transmitting ZCL.

Biomechanical adaptations for burrowing in the incisor enamel microstructure of Geomyidae and Heteromyidae (Rodentia: Geomyoidea)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 14, Page 9447-9459, July 2021., 2021
Incisors of fossil and extant Geomyidae (pocket gophers) and Heteromyidae (pocket mice, spiny pocket mice, kangaroo mice, kangaroo rats) show enamel with built‐in failure prevention related to chisel‐tooth digging. This distinctive microstructure character strengthens the joint phylogenetic origin of these North American rodents because it is absent in

Monitoring of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection in mustelids

EFSA Journal, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2021., 2021
Abstract American mink and ferret are highly susceptible to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2), but no information is available for other mustelid species. SARS‐CoV‐2 spreads very efficiently within mink farms once introduced, by direct and indirect contact, high within‐farm animal density increases the chance for transmission.

Effect of Bushen Huoxue Prescription on Cognitive Dysfunction of KK‐Ay Type 2 Diabetic Mice

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Diabetic cognitive impairment is one of the common complications of type 2 diabetes, which can cause neurological and microvascular damage in the brain. Bushen Huoxue prescription (BSHX), a compound Chinese medicine, has been used clinically to treat diabetes‐induced cognitive impairment. However, its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study,

Transplantable melanomas in hamsters and gerbils as models for human melanoma : sensitization in melanoma radiotherapy : from animal models to clinical trials [PDF]

, 2018
The focus of the present review is to investigate the role of melanin in the radioprotection of melanoma and attempts to sensitize tumors to radiation by inhibiting melanogenesis. Early studies showed radical scavenging, oxygen consumption and adsorption
