the objective of this study was to investigate fungal flora of the hair coat of domestic golden hamsterswith and without skin lesions. sixty hamsters were examined in the small animal teaching hospitalof the faculty of veterinary medicine, ferdowsi university of mashhad, and mashhad, iran. asteriletoothbrush was used for sample collection, from the entire body of the hamsters, all skin lesions ...

Introduction: Hydatid cyst is among parasitic diseases common between man and domestic animals, as well as domestic and non domestic carnivorous animals. This disease causes organ damage and injuries in human, and sometimes leads to death. This study aims at assessment of secondary hydatid cyst growth in laboratory animals and determination of their sensitivity. Materials and Methods: The Pr...

SARS-CoV-2 is frequently transmitted by aerosol, and the sterilization of virus in airflows has numerous potential applications. We evaluated a UV-C illuminator similar to what might be incorporated into tubing mechanical ventilator for its ability block transmission airborne from infected naïve hamsters. Hamsters protected UV system were consistently infection, whereas non-protected hamsters u...

the subcutaneous inoculation of 16 white mice and 10 golden hamsters with l.tropica major resulted in the development of leishmanial lesions in all, becoming generalized in some.two of 10 hamsters inoculated intraperitoneally with this parasite developed generalized lesions. on the other hand, the inoculation of l. tropica minor to 128 mice subcutaneously and 170 mice intraperitoneally did not ...

The ultrastructure of the parathyroid glands in golden hamsters after administration of progesterone was investigated. In the parathyroid glands of the female hamsters after administration of progesterone, the mean serum calcium concentration was significantly higher when compared to that of the control hamsters. In the male experimental hamsters, the percentage area occupied by Golgi complexes...

Although Syrian hamsters are thought to be naturally solitary, recent evidence from our laboratory demonstrates that hamsters may actually prefer social contact. Hamsters increase their preference for a location associated with an agonistic encounter regardless of whether they have "won" or "lost". It has also been reported that social housing as well as exposure to intermittent social defeat o...

This article presents the results of a study on susceptibility laboratory animals to lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV). Mice weighing 15–20 g, hamsters 40–60 guinea pigs 600–1200 and rabbits 2.5–3 kg were used in this study. Nodules observed at sites inoculation. The was isolated from affected areas cell culture examined using real-time PCR, indicating its tropism for animal skin. production anti...

It is well established that the adult mammalian pineal body (PB), with exception of rodents, contains nerve cell bodies. Based on our previous results we have proposed there a pinealo-to-retinal neuronal connection in hamsters and prebubertal rats. By time animals reached puberty, labeled cells PB were not observed In present experiment, provide light electron microscopic immunohistochemical ev...
