Widespread arenavirus occurrence and seroprevalence in small mammals, Nigeria
Parasites & Vectors, 2018 Background Lassa fever, killing thousands of people annually, is the most reported viral zoonotic disease in Nigeria. Recently, different rodent species carrying diverse lineages of the Lassa virus (LASV) in addition to a novel Mobala-like genetic ...

Arenavirus Diversity and Phylogeography of Mastomys natalensis Rodents, Nigeria
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2016 Mastomys natalensis rodents are natural hosts for Lassa virus (LASV). Detection of LASV in 2 mitochondrial phylogroups of the rodent near the Niger and Benue Rivers in Nigeria underlines the potential for LASV emergence in fresh phylogroups of this ...

The Impact of the Lunar Cycle and Season on Small Mammal Communities Near a Large Metropolitan Area. [PDF]
Ecol EvolOur study is one of the first studies to investigate the influences of the lunar cycle on African small mammals. Their abundance and composition decreased during a full moon night, which suggests a strong and universal response to increased illumination.
