Tensor-valued and frequency-dependent diffusion MRI and magnetization transfer saturation MRI evolution during adult mouse brain maturation [PDF]
Although rodent models are a predominant study model in neuroscience research, research investigating healthy rodent brain maturation remains limited. This motivates further study of normal brain maturation in rodents to exclude confounds of developmental changes from interpretations of disease mechanisms.

Respiratory Diseases of Rodents
Practitioners may be called on to treat rodents with respiratory diseases or to advise clients concerning the care of these rodents. Respiratory diseases of mice, rats, guinea pigs, and Syrian hamsters are well known because of the use of these species in research, whereas few or no reports of respiratory disease in rodents of other species exist ...

Isolation of three novel rat and mouse papillomaviruses and their genomic characterization. [PDF]
Despite a growing knowledge about the biological diversity of papillomaviruses (PV), only little is known about non-human PV in general and about PV mice models in particular.

Habitat Management to Reduce Human Exposure to Trypanosoma cruzi and Western Conenose Bugs (Triatoma protracta). [PDF]
Chagas disease, which manifests as cardiomyopathy and severe gastrointestinal dysfunction, is caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, a vector-borne parasite. In California, the vector Triatoma protracta frequently colonizes woodrat (Neotoma spp.) lodges, but may ...

Superpixels Based Marker Tracking Vs. Hue Thresholding In Rodent Biomechanics Application [PDF]
Examining locomotion has improved our basic understanding of motor control and aided in treating motor impairment. Mice and rats are premier models of human disease and increasingly the model systems of choice for basic neuroscience. High frame rates (250 Hz) are needed to quantify the kinematics of these running rodents.

Intestinal Dysbiosis in, and Enteral Bacterial Therapies for, Systemic Autoimmune Diseases
Recent studies have shown that a number of common autoimmune diseases have perturbations of their intestinal microbiome (dysbiosis). These include: Celiac Disease (CeD), Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Sjogren’s Syndrome (SS), and ...
