Survival, immune responses and tissue cyst production in outbred (Swiss white) and inbred (CBA/Ca) strains of mice experimentally infected with Neospora caninum tachyzoites [PDF]
The present work compared inbred (CBA/Ca) and outbred (Swiss white) strains of mice for their capacity to cope with a Neospora caninum infection and to consistently produce tissue cysts. In each experiment Swiss white and CBA/Ca mice were given three different doses of NC-1 tachyzoites.

An experimental assessment of
Background To assess the utility of haplotype association mapping (HAM) as a quantitative trait locus (QTL) discovery tool, we conducted HAM analyses for red blood cell count (RBC) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) in mice.

Modulation of brain β-endorphin concentration by the specific part of the Y chromosome in mice.
BackgroundSeveral studies in animal models suggest a possible effect of the specific part of the Y-chromosome (Y(NPAR)) on brain opioid, and more specifically on brain β-endorphin (BE).

Differential Effects on Survival, Humoral Immune Responses and Brain Lesions in Inbred BALB/C, CBA/CA, and C57BL/6 Mice Experimentally Infected withNeospora caninumTachyzoites [PDF]
C57BL/6, BALB/c, and CBA/Ca mouse strains with different MHC-I haplotypes were compared with respect to susceptibility toNeospora caninuminfection. Groups of 5 mice received , , or tachyzoites of the NC-Liverpool isolate by intraperitoneal injection and were observed for disease symptoms.

The comparison of primordial germ cell populations in embryos of KE and CBA inbred strains of mice.
The changes in primordial germ cell (PGC) populations were compared in embryos of two inbred strains of mice-KE and CBA/Kw on 11, 12, 13 and 14 day of foetal life. The number of PGCs did not differ in 11-day embryos of both strains. In 12-day CBA/Kw embryos the proliferation rate of PGCs was higher and the number of PGC was significantly higher than in
