Does Rodent Management Impact the Distribution of Rattus rattus and Mastomys natalensis in Village Settings?

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Ecological differences between species may result in differential impacts of control measures. Our experimental study showed that intensive removal of rodents from houses (mostly Rattus rattus) resulted in increased use of houses by Mastomys natalensis, a species usually found outdoors. Our results suggest that M.

Intra‐ and Interspecific Effects on Spatio‐Temporal Behavior of Common Commensal Rodent Species

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study revealed major findings on spatio‐temporal behavior of commensal rodents on a pig farm showing the influence of interspecific dominance on movement behavior and the resulting species‐specific ecological adaptations. Additionally, rodents tend to stay in their home ranges and migration to other stable buildings is only rare.

Low Sunscreen Awareness and Misconceptions in Skin of Colour With Acne‐Related Post‐Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation: A Cross‐Sectional Study Highlighting the Need for Targeted Education

Australasian Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Post‐inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is a frequent sequela of acne in patients with skin of colour (SOC). While sunscreen is widely recommended for PIH prevention, little is known about real‐world sunscreen practices in this group. This study aimed to evaluate sunscreen use, barriers and factors influencing adherence

High exposure to malaria vector bites despite high use of bednets in a setting of seasonal malaria in southwestern Mali: the urgent need for outdoor vector control strategies

Parasites & Vectors
Background Early evening and outdoor biting by vector mosquitoes undermines the effectiveness of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs), as users of nets are exposed to vector biting whilst not under a net, both outdoors and indoors.

Postcode‐Level Variation and Environmental Determinants of Respiratory Allergies in a Large German Cohort

Allergy, EarlyView.
Young children (0–9 years) and residents of urban areas appeared particularly vulnerable to respiratory allergy development and exacerbation. Incidence showed nonlinear associations with PM10, PM2.5, temperature, and alder/birch pollen, while DPMR showed similar patterns, except for NO2 and the interaction O3*NO2.

Vog: Using Volcanic Eruptions to Estimate the Health Costs of Particulates

The Economic Journal, EarlyView., 2018
The negative consequences of long‐term exposure to particulate pollution are well established but a number of studies find no effect of short‐term exposure on health outcomes. The high correlation of industrial pollutants complicates the estimation of the impact of individual pollutants on health.
