An immunohistochemical study on the pancreatic islets cells of the Mongolian gerbils, Meriones unguiculatus.
In order to study the regional distribution and relative frequency of the immunoreactive endocrine cells in the pancreatic islets of the Mongolian gerbil, pancreatic sections of Meriones unguiculatus were immunostained using an immunohistochemical (PAP) method with four types of specific antisera against insulin, glucagon, somatostatin and human pancreatic polypeptide (PP).
In conclusion, the regional distribution of endocrine cells in the pancreatic islets of Mongolian gerbil was found to be similar to that of other mammals, especially other rodents, except for the topographical different distribution of somatostatin which differs that of other rodents.

Susceptibility of the Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus) to Mycobacterium paratuberculosis.
Abstract: Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) were exposed to Mycobacterium paratuberculosis by intraperitoneal and oral routes.
Results of the study showed that gerbils can be infected with M paratuberculosis but are not suitable for studies of paratuberculosis.
