Control of the multimammate rat, Mastomys natalensis (A. Smith) in the irrigated fields of the Republic of Burundi [PDF]
, 1978 Irrigated cultivations have been developed in Burundi with the aid of the European Fund for Development. Three major rodent species are considered pests, but one of them is far more important and can survive flooding: Mastomys natalensis, the ...

Viruses, 2021 Laboratory-controlled physiological data for the multimammate rat (Mastomys natalensis) are scarce, despite this species being a known reservoir and vector for zoonotic viruses, including the highly pathogenic Lassa virus, as well as other arenaviruses ...

New Insights Into the Evolution of Immune Adaptors in Murid Rodents
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.TIR domain‐containing adaptors were evolved under purifying selection in murine. Positively selected sites were identified in Mal and Myd88 genes. Reduced genetic diversity of each adaptor gene was observed in two rat populations. Shared polymorphisms were common phenomena in rat adaptors.

Life at the Edge (of the Sahara): Evolutionary History of Two Understudied Genera of African Gerbils
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Understanding the distribution and genetic structure of African mammals is key to reconstructing the continent's evolutionary history. While some parts of the continent (e.g., lowlands, mountain forests or savannah biomes) are now relatively well‐studied, arid regions remain underexplored despite offering unique insights into adaptation to

Two Novel Arenaviruses Detected in Pygmy Mice, Ghana
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2013 Two arenaviruses were detected in pygmy mice (Mus spp.) by screening 764 small mammals in Ghana. The Natal multimammate mouse (Mastomys natalensis), the known Lassa virus reservoir, was the dominant indoor rodent species in 4 of 10 sites, and accounted ...

Advances in Public Health, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Lassa fever is an acute viral haemorrhagic illness caused by the Lassa virus and is mainly spread through direct and indirect human–rodent interaction. In Nigeria, Lassa fever outbreaks are becoming more frequent, and studies suggest that changes in climatic and ecological conditions will exacerbate these trends. It is crucial that health professionals
