Chinese tree shrew: a permissive model for in vitro and in vivo replication of human adenovirus species B

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2021
Human adenovirus (HAdV) species B can cause severe acute respiratory diseases. However, the researches to combat this infection have been hampered by the lack of an animal model permissive to the virus. Here, we report in vitro and in vivo HAdV species B

Tree shrews at the German Primate Center

, 2015
For many years, Tupaia (family Tupaiidae), most commonly known as tree shrews, have been studied almost exclusively by zoologists resulting in a controversial debate on their taxonomic status among mammals.

Histaminergic system in the tree shrew brain

Journal of Comparative Neurology, 1989
AbstractThis study mapped the histamine‐immunoreactive neuronal system in the brain of the tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri) and compared its structure with that of the rat and guinea pig. The histamine‐containing cell bodies lay in the posterior ventral hypothalamus in the tuberomammillary complex, as in the rodents.

Tree shrews exhibit insensitivity to spiciness.

, 2018
(A) Tree shrew directly consumes chili pepper. (B) The food intake of manufactured diet with different capsaicin concentration. All the values were normalized by the average quantity of manufactured diet without capsaicin (n = 3, * p ≤ 0.001).

Characteristics of the tree shrew gut virome

PLOS ONE, 2019
The tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri) has been proposed as an alternative laboratory animal to primates in biomedical research in recent years. However, characteristics of the tree shrew gut virome remain unclear. In this study, the metagenomic analysis method was used to identify the features of gut virome from fecal samples of this animal. Results showed

Characterization of innate immune response to hepatitis B virus genotype F acute infection in tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri) model

Frontiers in Virology, 2022
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a global public health problem. The clinical outcomes of HBV infections are influenced by host as well as viral factors, including viral genotypes and subgenotypes.

Morphometric analysis of postnatal lung development in the gray short‐tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica): An ultrastructural study

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract An ultrastructural morphometric analysis of the postnatal development of the lung in the gray short‐tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica) has been conducted to evaluate the morphofunctional status of this poorly developed marsupial lung immediately following parturition.

Anatomy and nomenclature of tree shrew lymphoid tissues

Experimental Animals, 2022
The immune response plays a key role in the disease development of the organism, while immune function serves as an important indicator for animal models evaluation. The tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri chinensis), as a new laboratory animal with a close genetic relationship with primates, has been used to construct various disease models.

Morphometric variation of tree shrews (Tupaia belangeri) from different regions

, 2017
Phenotypic plasticity is the capacity for individuals to modify their phenotype in response to environmental changes. For example, variation in external and cranial characters have been documented in some small mammals and can result in controversy over ...
