A survey was made on the incidence of Pneumocystis carinii in 361 rodents including sewer rats, albino rats, albino mice, guinea-pigs and rabbits. P. carinii was found in 4 of the 215 Rattus norvegicus examined (1,8%). These results accord with recent observations but disagree with investigations made by the researchers who first studied this parasite in the past when high indexes of infection were found. However, in 20 albino rats treated with corticosteroids (betamethazone) we found 8 positive (40%) and in 20 albino mice treated by the same way, 9 were positive for P. carinii (45%). These results confirm the opportunistic character of P. carinii in rodents already well demonstrated in man.

Certain aspects of prey selection were studied in ermines (Mustela erminea) kept in an enclosed arena that simulated a temporary meadow. Four males and eight females were involved in the 12-h experiments. Four types of prey were used: (i) meadow voles (Microtus pennsylvanicus), (ii) deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus), (iii) short-tailed shrews (Blarina brevicauda), and (iv) young albino rats (Rattus norvegicus). Males were more efficient at catching prey than females, both in number of individuals and number of species captured. Meadow voles and rats were the prey captured most regularly and rapidly by both males and females. Males were more efficient at catching deer mice, but shrews were rarely captured. There was a great similarity in the performance of the four males, but considerable variation was observed among the females. No food preference could be detected in these experiments. The results are discussed in relation to food preferences observed during studies of ermines in a natural environment.[Journal translation]

Classic sinosoidal circadian temperature patterns were observed for 7 albino rats maintained under standard laboratory conditions using an inexpensively fabricated periodic scanner. These data validate use of both the device and the sequential sampling approach in certain biological-behavioral research applications.
