The management and breeding of some more hystricomorph rodents [PDF]
Laboratory Animals, 1970 The caging, feeding and handling in our laboratory of 4 unusual hystricomorph rodents are described. These animals are: the wild guinea-pigs, or cuis ( Cavia aperea and Galea musteloides), the degu ( Octodon degus), and the plains viscacha ( Lagostomus maximus). The species were obtained for investigation of their reproduction and some details of this

Coypu insulin. Primary structure, conformation and biological properties of a hystricomorph rodent insulin [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1986 Insulin from a hystricomorph rodent, coypu (Myocaster coypus), was isolated and purified to near homogeneity. Like the other insulins that have been characterized in this Suborder of Rodentia, coypu insulin also exhibits a very low (3%) biological potency, relative to pig insulin, on lipogenesis in isolated rat fat-cells.
