Syrian hamster ( Mesocricetus auratus ); microscopic overview of small intestinal changes and parasite burden. A, B, enteritis with expansion of the deep lamina propria and villi by infiltrating inflammatory cells.

Abstract A commercial facility producing hamsters with a history of infection by dwarf tapeworm (Hymenolepis nana) submitted 15 animals for necropsy and postmortem parasitological and microscopic examination. No tapeworms were detected grossly or microscopically. Fecal examination including gastrointestinal mucosal smears demonstrated mixed intestinal bacteria and low numbers of Giardia sp ...

The University of Florida-Veterinary Medical Center (UF-VMC) Surgical Pathology Service received 4 samples of jejunum from Syrian hamsters (or golden hamster ; Mesocricetus auratus ). The samples were submitted by a referring veterinarian who had performed an unspecified set of fecal analyses and postmortem examinations on 15 animals.

Key differences in the morphology and location of the different types of flagellates as observed by histology of intestinal tissues provide important additional diagnostic information to distinguish trichomonads, Spironucleus sp. A commercial facility producing hamsters with a history of infection by dwarf tapeworm (Hymenolepis nana) submitted 15 animals for necropsy and postmortem ...

Abstract Syrian hamsters ( Mesocricetus auratus ) have been increasingly used as rodent models in recent years, especially for SARS-CoV-2 since the pandemic. However, the physiology of this animal model is not yet well-understood, even less when considering the digestive tract.

While researchers try to close this knowledge gap for mice, the Syrian hamster is less well-understood, and research on this species ́ digestive physiology and microbiome is warranted. Syrian ham-sters ( Mesocricetus auratus ) are being used as animal models for various bacterial, viral, and protozoal dis-eases, as well as in cancer research [1317].
