POLIOMYELITIS IN GUINEA-PIGS [PDF]
P. H. Roemer 2 has noticed that guinea-pigs in his laboratory frequently died of a paralysis which was very similar to that of epidemic poliomyelitis. On studying the cause of this paralysis he found a non-bacterial, filterable virus which could be transmitted from guinea-pig to guinea-pig, and which caused, after an incubation period of nine to twelve

Lipopolysaccharide‐Induced Bone Loss in Rodent Models: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
ABSTRACT Osteoporosis has traditionally been characterized by underlying endocrine mechanisms, though evidence indicates a role of inflammation in its pathophysiology. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a component of gram‐negative bacteria that reside in the intestines, can be released into circulation and stimulate the immune system, upregulating bone ...

Waves on Reissner's membrane: a mechanism for the propagation of otoacoustic emissions from the cochlea [PDF]
Sound is detected and converted into electrical signals within the ear. The cochlea not only acts as a passive detector of sound, however, but can also produce tones itself. These otoacoustic emissions are a striking manifestation of the cochlea's mechanical active process.

Comparison of cough reflex sensitivity after an inhaled antigen challenge between actively and passively sensitized guinea pigs [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Late asthmatic response is observed following antigen challenge in actively, but not passively, sensitized guinea pigs. Although cough reflex sensitivity is increased after antigen challenge in actively sensitized guinea pigs, it is unknown ...

Immunogenicity, protective efficacy, and non-replicative status of the HSV-2 vaccine candidate HSV529 in mice and guinea pigs. [PDF]
HSV-2 vaccine is needed to prevent genital disease, latent infection, and virus transmission. A replication-deficient mutant virus (dl5-29) has demonstrated promising efficacy in animal models of genital herpes.

The influence of human interaction on guinea pigs: behavioral and thermographic changes during animal-assisted therapy [PDF]
Guinea pigs are often involved in animal-assisted therapy (AAT) but there is little knowledge about the effects of human contact on guinea pigs involved in AAT.
