Host and habitat shape ectoparasite diversity on Mastomys natalensis and Mastomys coucha (Muridae) [PDF]
ParasitologyMastomys natalensis and M. coucha are commensal rodent species endemic to Africa. A recent taxonomic revision within Mastomys leaves the parasite–host list of M. natalensis questionable and that of M. coucha incomplete. The current study aimed to develop

Comparative Genomic Characterization of the Multimammate Mouse Mastomys coucha. [PDF]
Mol Biol Evol, 2019 AbstractMastomys are the most widespread African rodent and carriers of various diseases such as the plague or Lassa virus. In addition, mastomys have rapidly gained a large number of mammary glands. Here, we generated a genome, variome, and transcriptomes for Mastomys coucha.

Geospatial Modelling and Univariate Analysis of Commensal Rodent-Borne Cestodoses: The Case of Invasive spp. of Rattus and Indigenous Mastomys coucha From South Africa [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 Poor socio-economic and unsanitary conditions are conducive to commensal rodent infestations, and these conditions are widespread in South Africa. Cestode species of zoonotic interest are highly prevalent in commensal rodents, such as invasive Rattus ...

Adrenocortical zonation in chamois-coloured mastomys, Praomys coucha [PDF]
Laboratory Animals, 1995 Body and adrenal weights, and histology of the adrenal cortex were examined in the chamois-coloured mastomys ( Praomys coucha) at inbred generations 3 to 10. Body and adrenal weights were consistently larger in males than in females, although the adrenal to body weight ratios tended to be lower before 50 days of age and were clearly higher after ...

Next generation L2-based HPV vaccines cross-protect against cutaneous papillomavirus infection and tumor development [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Licensed L1-VLP-based immunizations against high-risk mucosal human papillomavirus (HPV) types have been a great success in reducing anogenital cancers, although they are limited in their cross-protection against HPV types not covered by the vaccine ...

Spontaneous rhabdomyosarcomas in aged Mastomys (Praomys coucha) [PDF]
Laboratory Animals, 1995 Two spontaneous tumours in the hind leg of 2 aged Mastomys were diagnosed as poorly differentiated rhabdomyosarcomas. In both cases, the neoplastic cells had no evidence of cross-striation, but had a positive reaction for muscle-specific proteins. This is the second report of rhabdomyosarcomas in Mastomys, and the first described in detail.
