RISAnnotated checklist of fleas (Insecta: Siphonaptera) and lice (Insecta: Anoplura) associated with rodents in Iran, with new reports of fleas and lice
Rodent species reported from Iran are subject of several studies, but the fauna called ectoparasite, infesting the rodents, along with their epidemic effects, are poorly known. In this study, ectoparasitic insect fauna of ...
The relationship of ectoparasite prevalence to the capturing season, locality and species of the murine rodent hosts in Iran
The role of rodents in the transmission of different parasitic infections has been well documented. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between capturing season and rodent habitat with ectoparasite ...
Relationship between the sex and age of Mus musculus (Rodentia: Muridae) with ectoparasites prevalence in northeast of Iran
Rodents' significant role in transmission of serious zoonotic diseases is considered as an interesting subject in public attention. With respect to the importance of arthropod-infested rodents in zoonotic diseases transmission ...
New records of the William’s Jerboa, Paralactaga cf. williamsi (Thomas, 1897) (Rodentia: Dipodidae) from northeastern Iran with notes on its ecology
Paralactaga williamsi, a five-toed jerboa, is known to occur in Anatolian Turkey, northern Lebanon,
Armenia, Azerbaijan and western Iran. Here, we report the first record of this species in Kopet-Dag Mountains,northeastern ...
New rodents' hosts of sucking lice, fleas (Insecta: Anoplura, Siphonaptera) and hard ticks (Acari: Ixodida) from Iran
Rodents, as the most common mammal species around the world, are indicated as one of the main health problems to humans, especially in the populated areas. Since most of the rodent species are considered as suitable ...
First record of Zarudny’s Jird, Meriones zarudnyi Heptner, 1937 (Rodentia: Muridae) in Shirvan, Northeast Iran
Among the rodent specimens deposited in the collections of Rodentology Research Department
at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, one specimen of Zarudny’s Jird was found which has been

Ecological survey of two Calomyscidae species; Goodwin's brush-tailed mouse and Hotson's brush-tailed mouse (Rodentia) in the eastern parts of Iran
Calomyscus elburzensis and C. hotsoni are two species of the rodents family Calomyscidae which are distributed mainly in Iran. Herein, we evaluated the habitat and ecological differences of these two brush-tailed mice in ...
How will climate change affect the temporal and spatial distributions of a reservoir host, the Indian gerbil (Tatera indica), and the spread of zoonotic diseases that it carries?
Species distribution models revealed the four variables most effective in determining Indian gerbil occurrence: the mean precipitation of the year’s driest month; the seasonality of precipitation; the mean temperature of ...
Potential use of brush-tailed mice for evolutionary developmental biology studies: Calomyscus elburzensis as an appropriate rodent model
Rodents (mainly mice and rats) are the most commonly used animal models for studies of cancer biology, immunology, genetics, developmental biology and also embryo transfer techniques in domestic and
endangered animal ...
Mesostigmatic mites (Acari: Mesostigmata) associated with rodents in Khorasan Razavi Province, Iran
During April 2013 to December 2014, a faunistic study was carried out on mesostigmatic mites associated with rodents in northeastern Iran. In this research two dermanyssoid species were collected: Laelaps algericus Hirst ...
