Scabies variant such as bullous, crusted, hidden, incognito, nodular and scalp-mimic the other conditions. In addition, atypical presentations of scabies can masquerade as dermatitis herpetiformis, ecchymosis, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, systemic l...

Haplotype diversity of mountain hare mtDNA among native mountain hares and introduced brown hares in Scandinavia

Natural hybridisation and subsequent introgression mediate the transmission of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from native mountain hares (Lepus timidus) to introduced brown hares (L. europaeus). We investigated mtDNA Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism among 62 Scandinavian mountain hares, 20 brown hares with mountain hare mtDNA and 19 presumed hybrids from 57 localities in Sweden and Norway.
