Disease relevance of Foxes

 

High impact information on Foxes

  • A non-epistatic interaction of agouti and extension in the fox, Vulpes vulpes [3].
  • The carnivores from Trinchera Dolina level 6 (TD6) in Sierra de Atapuerca include Ursus sp., Crocuta crocuta, Mustela palerminea, Lynx sp., Canis mosbachensis and Vulpes praeglacialis [4].
  • Two cysteine substitutions in the MC1R generate the blue variant of the arctic fox (Alopex lagopus) and prevent expression of the white winter coat [5].
  • We have characterized two mutations in the MC1R gene of the blue variant of the arctic fox (Alopex lagopus) that both incorporate a novel cysteine residue into the receptor [5].
  • Cloning and sequencing of cDNA encoding for the testis-specific fox (Vulpes vulpes) sperm polypeptide Vb of the cytochrome C oxidase [6].
 

Biological context of Foxes

Behavior of red foxes

  • Food sources in human-use areas and roads are altering the selection and/or use of habitats of red foxes in some areas of Prince Edward Island. (http://www.springerlink.com/content/n71p4064q7002pxp/)
 

Anatomical context of Foxes

 

Associations of Foxes with chemical compounds

  • The parasite itself has probably become naturally transferred to Svalbard due to migratory movements of its final host--the arctic fox Alopex lagopus between source areas for E. multilocularis in Siberia and Svalbard [13].
  • Relationship between testicular blood flow, testosterone secretion and spermatogenic activity in young and adult wild red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) [14].
  • Effect of melatonin implants on reproduction in the male silver fox (Vulpes vulpes) [15].
  • The authors further investigated the effects of brief exposure (3 min) to predator (red fox [Vulpes vulpes]) odor and various control odors (butyric acid, extract of orange) on subsequent activity [16].
  • Oestrogen and progesterone concentrations in peripheral blood in pregnant red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) [17].
