Rift Valley Fever Virus Is Lethal in Different Inbred Mouse Strains Independent of Sex
Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is a zoonotic arbovirus affecting humans and livestock in Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. The majority of human cases are mild and self-limiting; however, severe cases can result in hepatitis, encephalitis, or hemorrhagic

Sperm morphology in two house mouse subspecies: do wild-derived strains and wild mice tell the same story? [PDF]
Being subject to intense post-copulatory selection, sperm size is a principal determining component of male fitness. Although previous studies have presented comparative sperm size data at higher taxonomic levels, information on the evolution of sperm ...

Strain-Dependent Modifier Genes Determine Survival in Zfp423 Mice
Zfp423 encodes a transcriptional regulatory protein that interacts with canonical signaling and lineage pathways. Mutations in mouse Zfp423 or its human ortholog ZNF423 are associated with a range of developmental abnormalities reminiscent of ...
