(2) The results demonstrate that meadow-mice, Columbian ground-squirrels, golden-mantled ground-squirrels, chipmunks and snowshoe hares (the latter to a lesser extent), when bitten by infected ticks, respond with rickettsiaemias of sufficient length and degree to infect normal larval D. andersoni.

(5) Seroprevalence to Jamestown Canyon and snowshoe hare viruses was associated with increasing age.
(6) Mosquito-borne arboviruses are prevalent throughout subarctic regions of Canada and Alaska, principally in the boreal forest extending between latitudes 53 and 66 degrees N, but they have been identified in tundra regions as far north as 70 degrees N. All mosquito-borne agents have been bunyaviruses, comprising principally the snowshoe hare subtype of California encephalitis (CE) virus, but also Northway virus.
(7) Virulence appeared to be very host specific in that only strain M56 among the six chlamydiae tested was highly lethal for the snowshoe hare.
(8) In contrast, infection with snowshoe hare virus, a bunyavirus, induced the synthesis of snowshoe hare virus RNA in both A. Ablpictus cells 3 days after Sindbis virus infection and previously uninfected mosquito cells.
(9) Five species of helminths were monitored in a population of snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus) near Rochester, Alberta, during 1961-1977.
(10) Significant group (p less than .001) and time (p less than .001; pre vs. post) differences were found in snowshoe time, but a significant interaction was not found.
(11) For snowshoeing or building a snowman you don’t need that much snow, whereas if you are a ski manager you have to groom the rough mountain slopes.
(12) Replication of a subarctic Bunyavirus, California encephalitis (snowshoe hare subtype), was detected in salivary glands and thoraces of wild-caught Aedes communis mosquitoes from the Yokon Territory, after intrathoracic inoculation with 0.1 to 100 mouse LD50 virus, and incubation for 7 to 21 days throughout their viable temperature range of 0 to 23 degrees C. Immunoperoxidase staining confirmed that viral replication occurred in the cytoplasm of acinar cells of salivary glands, both by ligh microscopy and electron microscopy.

(14) The RNA genomes of prototypes trivittatus (TVT), snowshoe hare (SSH), Tahyna (TAH), and Lumbo (a variety of TAH) viruses of the California encephalitis (CE) serogroup, and Guaroa of the Bunyamwera serogroup also consist of three RNA species, each with unique and distinguishable nucleotide sequences which bear little resemblance to those of the LAC virus isolates.
(15) Chlamydia psittaci (strain M56, the agent of epizootic chlamydiosis of muskrats and hares) was highly lethal for the snowshoe hare (Lepus americans) following intravenous inoculation, whereas the agent was much less virulent for cottontail (Sylvilagus floridanus) and albino domestic rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus).
(16) Tissue titres of strain M56 were generally higher after 96 hr in the snowshoe hare than in tissues of the other lagomorphs.
(17) Agents lethal to chicken embryos and mice were isolated from the blood and spleen of 2 muskrats and 2 snowshoe hares which died during the cataclysmic die-off of 1961 in Central Saskatchewan.
(18) Low-passage field strains of snowshoe hare (SSH) virus (Bunyaviridae), the prototype SSH virus (originally isolated in Montana), and La Crosse (LAC) virus were compared serologically by plaque-reduction neutralization (PRNT) and molecularly by oligonucleotide fingerprinting (ONF).
(19) Recombinant baculoviruses have been constructed that express the two snowshoe hare (SSH) bunyavirus proteins coded in overlapping reading frames of the SSH S viral-complementary RNA species (namely the nucleoprotein, N, and the nonstructural protein, NSS).
(20) Only 2 of 177 rodents from the Sierra Nevada had antibodies to Northway virus; none had antibodies to Jamestown Canyon or snowshoe hare viruses.

Example Sentences:
(1) To visit the Grand Canyon, in north-west Arizona, choose between the more developed South Rim, which is open year-round, and has drive-up overlooks, museums and mule rides, or the more secluded North Rim, which is higher in elevation and closed to vehicles from mid-October until mid-May because of the snow (skiers and snowshoers are welcome).
(2) I was rather surprised and shamefaced when, as I was still pushing my bike, we met a 75-year-old snowshoer who told me she’d been on a fatbike, and found it fine.
