Mammary Adenocarcinoma in a Chipmunk (Tamias sibiricus)

Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma in a Siberian chipmunk (Tamias sibiricus): a case report

A 2-year-old female Siberian chipmunk (Tamias sibiricus) was presented to the veterinary clinic for swelling, pain and lameness of the left rear leg. Radiologically, an invasive tumour around the distal femur was suspected, and the leg was surgically amputated and submitted for histopathological diagnosis. Microscopically, the mass was densely packed with multinucleated strap cells that had rou...

The first record of Brevistriata bergerardi Durette-Desset, 1970 from an asiatic chipmunk, Tamias sibiricus lineatus Siebold, in Hokkaido, Japan.

Naturally acquired rabies in an eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus).

Rabies in an Eastern chipmunk was detected by fluorescent-antibody testing and mouse inoculation. The results were independently confirmed, and the virus was recovered from tissue culture.

Mitochondrial cytochrome b sequence variations and population structure of Siberian chipmunk (Tamias sibiricus) in Northeastern Asia and population substructure in South Korea.

Twenty-five chipmunk species occur in the world, of which only the Siberian chipmunk, Tamias sibiricus, inhabits Asia. To investigate mitochondrial cytochrome b sequence variations and population structure of the Siberian chipmunk in northeastern Asia, we examined mitochondrial cytochrome b sequences (1140 bp) from 3 countries. Analyses of 41 individuals from South Korea and 33 individuals from...

Seasonal changes in thermoregulatory responses to hypoxia in the Eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus).

Mammalian heterotherms are known to be more tolerant of low oxygen levels than homeotherms. However, heterotherms demonstrate extreme seasonality in daily heterothermy and torpor expression. Because hypoxia depresses body temperature (T(b)) and metabolism in mammals, it was of interest to see if seasonal comparisons of normothermic animals of a species capable of hibernation produce changes in ...
