Putting Rodents at the Center of One Health Programs: A Narrative Synthesis
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Rodents link human, animal, and environmental health across diverse ecosystems. Rodent diversity underpins both zoonotic disease risk and ecosystem function. Environmental change reshapes rodent communities and spillover dynamics. Rodents act as reservoirs, amplifiers, and sentinels of emerging pathogens.

Does hair coat length affect flea infestation in naturally infested dogs? [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2016 Abstract The Siphonaptera are parasitic insects of endothermic animals and Ctenocephalides felis and Pulex irritans are important parasites of dogs. This study evaluated the effect of hair coat length and time of year on the population size of C. felis and P. irritans in naturally infested dogs.

From Data to Knowledge to Wisdom: Lessons Learned From the Vancouver Rat Project
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.A synthesis of 15 years of research conducted by the Vancouver Rat Project revealed that: (1) Pathogen ecology within rat colonies is the result of complex interactions among rats, pathogens, and vectors. (2) Local and global population structures influence rat and pathogen ecology.
