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 ...

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.

Phylogeographic Structure of the White-Footed Mouse and the Deer Mouse, Two Lyme Disease Reservoir Hosts in Québec. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Modification of a species range is one of many consequences of climate change and is driving the emergence of Lyme disease in eastern Canada. The primary reservoir host of the bacteria responsible for Lyme disease, Borrelia burgdorferi, is the white ...

Is promiscuity associated with enhanced selection on MHC-DQα in mice (genus Peromyscus)? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Reproductive behavior may play an important role in shaping selection on Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) genes. For example, the number of sexual partners that an individual has may affect exposure to sexually transmitted pathogens, with more ...

Rapid Field Immunoassay for Detecting Antibody to Sin Nombre Virus in Deer Mice
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007 We developed a 1-hour field enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for detecting antibody to Sin Nombre virus in deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus). The assay specificity and sensitivity were comparable to those of a standard EIA.

A Longitudinal Study of Sin Nombre Virus Prevalence in Rodents, Southeastern Arizona
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 1999 We determined the prevalence of Sin Nombre virus antibodies in small mammals in southeastern Arizona. Of 1,234 rodents (from 13 species) captured each month from May through December 1995, only mice in the genus Peromyscus were seropositive.
