Spontaneous rhabdomyosarcomas in aged Mastomys (Praomys coucha)
Laboratory Animals, 1995Two spontaneous tumours in the hind leg of 2 aged Mastomys were diagnosed as poorly differentiated rhabdomyosarcomas. In both cases, the neoplastic cells had no evidence of cross-striation, but had a positive reaction for muscle-specific proteins. This is the second report of rhabdomyosarcomas in Mastomys, and the first described in detail.

Genetic Regulation of Border Zone Formation in Female Mastomys (Praomys coucha) Adrenal Cortex [PDF]
Journal of Heredity, 1996 The unique border zone between the zona fasciculata and z. reticularis of the female adrenal cortex is formed in the wild-colored inbred mastomys (Praomys coucha) strain, MWC, but never in the chamois-colored inbred strain, MCC. This clear strain-specific trait was genetically analyzed using F1, F2, and backcross progenies produced between MWC and MCC.

SEX- AND SPECIES-SPECIFIC GROWTH PATTERNS IN CRYPTIC AFRICAN RODENTS, MASTOMYS NATALENSIS AND M. COUCHA [PDF]
Journal of Mammalogy, 2003 The sibling multimammate mice, Mastomys natalensis and M. coucha, occur throughout southern Africa, exhibiting limited sympatry. We examine body mass and growth characteristics of both species, from birth to 26 weeks of age. Gompertz growth curves were fitted to data for body mass and lengths of head and body, tail, hind foot, and ear.

A capture ELISA for monitoring papillomavirus-induced antibodies in Mastomys coucha
Journal of Virological Methods, 2010The present report describes the development of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), whereby the first insights have been obtained into the humoral immune response to papillomavirus (PV) infections of the rodent Mastomys coucha, a natural model for papillomavirus-induced skin carcinogenesis.

The infectivity and pathogenicity of Cryptosporidium andersoni (bovine isolate) for neonatal and adult southern multimammate mice (Mastomys coucha) was studied using transmission experiments. C. andersoni isolate used in this study was not infective for BALB/c mice, but experimental infection proved susceptibility of neonatal and adult M. coucha to the

Storage of Gangliosides GM2 and Fucosyl GM1 in the Kidney of MCC Strain of Mastomys (Praomys coucha)
Journal of Biochemistry, 2009Previously, we histochemically examined the kidney of the MCC strain of mastomys (Praomys coucha) and found the storage of gangliosides. In the present studies, the lipid-bound sialic acid content of gangliosides in the MCC kidney was about 9- to 14-fold higher than that of the control (MWC strain).

Inflammatory antigens of Brugia malayi and their effect on rodent host Mastomys coucha
Parasite Immunology, 2004SUMMARY The study was aimed at identifying pro‐ and anti‐inflammatory cytokine releasing potential of Brugia malayi adult worm fractions and their role in filarial infection and pathogenesis. THP‐1 cells were incubated with soluble somatic Brugia malayi adult worm extract (BmAS) and its Sephadex G‐200 fractions BmAFI, BmAFII and BmAFIII and the effect ...

In an attempt to determine whether Trypanosoma congolense occurs both within and outside the blood vessels in an infected animal host, multimammate rats (Mastomys coucha) were infected with T. congolense and samples from spleen, lymph nodes, bone marrow, liver, kidney, lungs, brain, heart, intestines, ovaries and testes were collected.

Mastomys natalensis or Mastomys coucha. Correct species designation in animal experiments.
Tropical medicine and parasitology : official organ of Deutsche Tropenmedizinische Gesellschaft and of Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ), 1990Haemoglobin electrophoresis and chromosome analysis indicate that the widely used multimammate rat (chamois coloured) as experimental animal belongs to the species Mastomys coucha (Smith, 1836) and not, as commonly assumed, to Mastomys natalensis (Smith, 1834).
