Embryonic Development of the Deer Mouse, Peromyscus maniculatus [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Deer mice, or Peromyscus maniculatus, are an emerging model system for use in biomedicine. P. maniculatus are similar in appearance to laboratory mice, Mus musculus, but are more closely related to hamsters than to Mus.

Peromyscus maniculatus (Rodentia: Cricetidae): An overlooked reservoir of tick‐borne pathogens in the Midwest, USA?

Ecosphere, 2021
Mice belonging to the genus Peromyscus are one of the most important reservoirs of tick‐borne pathogens in the United States. However, the composition and abundance of Peromyscus species may vary geographically.

Characterization of the gut microbiome of wild Peromyscus sonoriensis in New Mexico, USA [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiomes
The microbiome is highly important to the physiologies of all multicellular organisms, particularly metazoans. However, the microbiomes of many wild animals remain understudied and poorly understood.

Tick control bait box use by Peromyscus spp. influenced by habitat placement but raises questions on disease ecology

Ecosphere, 2019
White‐footed mice, Peromyscus leucopus (Rafinesque), and deer mice, Peromyscus maniculatus Gloger, are considered important reservoir hosts for Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, the causative agent of Lyme disease.

Circannual breeding and methylation are impacted by the equinox in Peromyscus [PDF]

BMC Biology
Background Photoperiod is the major regulator of circannual patterns in mammals, but at animal facilities, despite the controlled conditions, some rodents still exhibit seasonality in their breeding.

Hantavirus in rodents in the United States: Temporal and spatial trends and report of new hosts [PDF]

Ecosphere
In North America, the rodent‐borne hantavirus pulmonary syndrome is predominantly caused by the Sin Nombre virus, typically associated with the deer mouse Peromyscus maniculatus.

Meiosis-specific distal cohesion site decoupled from the kinetochore [PDF]

Nature Communications
Primary constriction of the M-phase chromosome serves as a marker for the kinetochore position. Underlying this observation is the concept that the kinetochore is spatially linked with the pericentromere where sister-chromatids are cohered. Here, we find

Experimental Infection of Peromyscus Species Rodents with Sin Nombre Virus

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022
We demonstrate that 6 distinct Peromyscus rodent species are permissive to experimental infection with Sin Nombre orthohantavirus (SNV). Viral RNA and SNV antibodies were detected in members of all 6 species. P.

Interspecific variation in cooperative burrowing behavior by Peromyscus mice

Evolution Letters, 2022
Animals often adjust their behavior according to social context, but the capacity for such behavioral flexibility can vary among species. Here, we test for interspecific variation in behavioral flexibility by comparing burrowing behavior across three ...

Differences in ultrasonic vocalizations between wild and laboratory California mice (Peromyscus californicus). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
BACKGROUND: Ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) emitted by muroid rodents, including laboratory mice and rats, are used as phenotypic markers in behavioral assays and biomedical research. Interpretation of these USVs depends on understanding the significance
