(9) Although there are distinct gross anatomical differences in the appearance of this organ between "lower" mammals such as rodents and lagomorphs and "higher" mammals such as carnivores and primates, its fine structure is remarkably similar in all species studied.
(10) Common problems of Lagomorph dentition are covered in this article including malocclusions, periodontal disease, and their treatment.
(11) Certain genes have also been sequenced in a fourth order (lagomorph or carnivore), and these data have been used to investigate mammalian phylogeny.

(13) Phylogenic studies of rabbit allotypic specificities are carried out in several lagomorphs.
(14) Tissue titres of strain M56 were generally higher after 96 hr in the snowshoe hare than in tissues of the other lagomorphs.
(15) A consideration of results obtained during this study and those of other investigators led to the conclusion that equines were of major importance, that canines, lagomorphs and rodents were of minor importance, and that other species tested were of no importance as virus amplifiers in VE epizootics.
(16) Lagomorphs were susceptible to VE infection but circulated VE virus at or near mosquito threshold levels for 1 day only.
(17) The IRBP results also offer some rare molecular support for the Glires concept, in which rodents and lagomorphs form a superordinal grouping.
(18) The decision to administer postexposure prophylaxis to humans exposed to other rodents and lagomorphs should take into consideration the epidemiology of rabies in the exposing species.
(19) A tryptic peptide (T 19) was isolated from a CNBr fragment of IgG from several representatives of present-day lagomorphs including domestic rabbit, hare, cottontail rabbit and pika.
(20) Hence all the repeats have been inserted into the gene clusters after the divergence between lagomorphs and primates.
Pika
Definition:
(n.) Any one of several species of rodents of the genus Lagomys, resembling small tailless rabbits. They inhabit the high mountains of Asia and America. Called also calling hare, and crying hare. See Chief hare.
Example Sentences:
(1) In contrast, while gastric ulcers in the rat formed within a short time, they were histopathologically less severe than those in the pika.
(2) Therefore, the antagonism of phenoperidine action by morphine appeared not to occur at the opiate receptor site; the mechanism of the pika's natural tolerance to morphine may reside in molecular events that normally preceed (metabolism?)
(3) Compared with the rat, the pika showed differences in the appearance and degree of gastric ulcers formed by the injection of serotonin and reserpine.
(4) However, the pika is responsive to synthetic opiates such as etorphine, pentazocine and phenoperidine.
(5) It now appears that the nucleus is organized into distinct domains which include not only the nucleolus, but also previously unidentified regions such as the PIKAs.
(6) At the infection with the typical strain of the altai subspecies rare transmissions of the agent to Pallas' pika can take place as well as its long preservation in fleas.
(7) An immunohistochemical study of the anterior pituitary gland of the female Afghan pika was carried out to distinguish the ultrastructural features of GH, PRL, ACTH, TSH and LH cells.
(8) Pharmacokinetic analysis demonstrated that morphine enters the pika's brain as readily as it does the rat's.
(9) The skin of the pika (Ochotona rufescens rufescens) was found to be remarkably sensitive to the primary irritation of sodium hydroxide, as compared with the skin of the rabbit.
(10) The fleas of this species are capable to transmit not only the plague agent of the strains typical of this nidus but also non-typical ones which differ in some biological properties and are avirulent for most carriers but Pallas's pika.
(11) In the two species, following morphine administration, another unidentified component appears very soon (5 min) in pika blood plasma and much later (60 min) in rabbit blood plasma.
(12) Pulmonary adiaspiromycosis due to Emmonsia crescens was diagnosed in three of six Franklin's ground squirrels (Spermophilus franklini) captured in Rochester, central Alberts, Canada in the summer of 1971, and in one of 240 pikas (Ochotona princeps) collected in southwestern Alberta in 1969.
(13) The activities of the enzymes, SDH, MDH, LDH, beta HBDH, alpha GPDH, ALD, G6PDH and GPR, in the hair follicles and sebaceous glands of the pika were similar to those of the rabbit.
(14) The percentages found in the pika and the rabbit were essentially identical at determination.
(15) myiasis in pikas (Ochotona princeps) are reported from Oregon and Montana.
(16) The morphology of this region changes dramatically during the cell cycle and we have given it the name PIKA (for polymorphic interphase karyosomal association) based on preliminary evidence that the PIKA proteins may be associated with chromatin.
(17) Experimental gastric ulcer formation was performed in the pika and compared with that in the rat.
(18) Most of those in the pika contained a few moderately dense granules.
(19) The acinar cells of the pika consisted of light cells containing basophilic granules of low density, while in the volcano rabbit the acinar cells consisted of light and dark cells containing acidophilic granules of moderate density.
(20) Experiments on Daurian pikas confirmed that, in comparison with the PHA and AN tests, RIA ensured fourfold effectiveness in the detection of antigen F1.
