Prevalence of <i>Pneumocystis</i> carriage in woodmice (<i>Apodemus sylvaticus</i>) according to rodent geographic origin.

Woodmice lung DNA samples were screened by nested-PCR at both mtLSU rRNA (LSU) and mtSSU rRNA (SSU) loci for the presence of Pneumocystis. The number of woodmice lung samples positive1 for Pneumocystis DNA is indicated over the total number of analysed samples. Results of Pneumocystis carriage in wood mice are given according to woodmice geographic origin. 1 A wood mice lung sample is considered to be positive for Pneumocystis DNA if the nested-PCR reveals to be positive at either mtLSU rRNA or mtSSU rRNA or both loci. aPneumocystis concatenated sequences from the samples Cal39 and Cor5 are the same bPneumocystis concatenated sequences from the samples Spa19, Mon5 and Por15 are the same cPneumocystis concatenated sequences from the samples Ma47, Ma51 and Ma59 are the same dPneumocystis concatenated sequences from the samples Ma53, Ma62, Ma66 and Ma71 are the same Prevalence of Pneumocystis carriage in woodmice (Apodemus sylvaticus) according to rodent geographic origin.
