Cutaneous Papillomaviruses and Non-melanoma Skin Cancer: Causal Agents or Innocent Bystanders? [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 There is still controversy in the scientific field about whether certain types of cutaneous human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are causally involved in the development of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC).

Nongeographic Cranial Variation in Two Medically Important Rodents from South Africa, Mastomys natalensis and Mastomys coucha [PDF]
Journal of Mammalogy, 2007 The 2 cryptic species of multimammate mice that occur widely in South Africa were, for many decades, lumped in a single species Mastomys natalensis sensu lato. This taxon was intensively studied because these rodents play a role in the epidemiology of various zoonoses (notably bubonic plague), serve as important models for biomedical research, and also

Comparative phylogeography of parasitic Laelaps mites contribute new insights into the specialist-generalist variation hypothesis (SGVH) [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018 Background The specialist-generalist variation hypothesis (SGVH) in parasites suggests that, due to patchiness in habitat (host availability), specialist species will show more subdivided population structure when compared to generalist species.

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.

Mastomys natalensis and Mastomys coucha: identification, habitat preferences and population genetics [PDF]
, 2010 M.Sc. Two species of multimammate mice occur in South Africa, namely Mastomys natalensis and M. coucha. These species, both reservoirs for different and equally important disease pathogens, are morphologically identical with variations described in chromosome number, sperm morphology, pheromones, ultrasound and allozyme and isozyme markers.

Dose-Dependent Prophylactic Efficacy of Filarial Antigens Glutathione-S-Transferase and Abundant Larval Transcript-2 against Brugia malayi Challenge in Mastomys. [PDF]
Can J Infect Dis Med MicrobiolObjective. To identify the most effective dose of filarial rBmALT‐2 and rWbGST alone or in combination against B. malayi infection in vitro and in vivo. Methods. Mastomys (n = 5–7/group) received intramuscular (i.m.) injection with three different doses (25, 50, and 100 μg) of rBmALT‐2 or rWbGST, either alone or in combination with alum as the adjuvant.
