Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome Associated with Monongahela Virus, Pennsylvania

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2000
The first two recognized cases of rapidly fatal hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in Pennsylvania occurred within an 8-month period in 1997. Illness in the two patients was confirmed by immunohistochemical techniques on autopsy material.

Borrelia burgdorferi promotes the establishment of Babesia microti in the northeastern United States. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Babesia microti and Borrelia burgdorferi, the respective causative agents of human babesiosis and Lyme disease, are maintained in their enzootic cycles by the blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis) and use the white-footed mouse (Peromyscus leucopus) as ...

Cardiovascular Plasticity and Adaptation of High‐Altitude Birds and Mammals

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This schematic depicts the cardiovascular adaptations of mammals and birds to high‐altitude hypoxia. It highlights key phenotypic changes in oxygen transport and cardiac responses, driven by molecular mechanisms including transcriptional regulation and genetic modifications.

You Scratch My Back: White‐Footed Mouse (Peromyscus leucopus) Sibling Pairs Engage in Allogrooming in Response to Tick Burdens

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
This study investigated whether blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis) infestation influences allogrooming behavior in sibling pairs of white‐footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus). Using laboratory‐reared siblings housed in pairs, we compared allogrooming frequency and cumulative duration between tick‐infested and non‐infested groups across both sexes ...

The role of early experience in the development of specialized and diverse preferences for foraging techniques by white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus) [PDF]

, 1989
Investigations of foraging behavior (within the Neo-Darwinian framework of Optimal Foraging Theory) have focused on the economic choices made by adult animals. Little research has been directed toward the development of these choice strategies.

Mitochondrial physiology in cardiac muscle of deer mice native to high altitude

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend High‐altitude deer mice exhibited evolved changes in mitochondrial energy metabolism and reactive oxygen species (ROS) management that may support cardiac performance under cold hypoxic conditions. High‐altitude mice had increased activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the heart, probably enhancing the capacity for lactate ...

Fine‐scale spatial variation in eastern grey squirrel melanism across a complex urban landscape

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 9, Page 1778-1792, September 2026.
By sampling 197 parks, the study demonstrates how natural geography creates divergence within cities. The findings reveal that the St. Lawrence River and its tributaries act as barriers, disrupting urban melanism clines in grey squirrels. Ultimately, the research indicates that natural features still dictate evolutionary rules in anthropogenic ...

The Effect of Past Climatic Fluctuations on Peromyscus Leucopus Distribution in Western Kansas

, 1967
Systematic trapping was conducted along streams in western Kansas, where Peromyscus leucopus had not previously been recorded. Near the Kansas-Colorado border in west central Kansas, tree distribution is restricted to riparian communities and is found ...
