Lysosomal glycolipid storage in the renal tubular epithelium in mastomys (Praomys coucha).

Histology and histopathology, 1996
The renal proximal tubular epithelium of MCC strain of mastomys (Praomys coucha) exhibited a number of cytoplasmic vacuoles after conventional paraffin-embedding procedures. These vacuoles were strongly PAS-positive in cryostat sections. Ultra-structurally, they were double membrane-bound structures filled with myelin figures and acid phosphatase ...

Bacterial blood microbiome of <i>Mastomys</i> rodents: implications for disease spill-over at the animal-human interface within the Bushbuckridge-East community, South Africa. [PDF]

Front Cell Infect Microbiol
The Bushbuckridge-East community in Mpumalanga Province, South Africa is bordered by nature reserves, including the Manyeleti Game Reserve. Murid rodents are prevalent in both Manyeleti and communal rangelands adjoining the community households. Although

Molecular phylogeny and taxonomy of the genus Vernaya (Mammalia: Rodentia: Muridae) with the description of two new species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023
The climbing mouse (genus Vernaya) is one of the least studied small mammals. This manuscript integrates molecular and morphological approaches to study the phylogeny and taxonomy of the genus. They described two new species and recognized Vernaya foramena as a valid species.

Dietary Response of Black-Backed Jackals (<i>Lupulella mesomelas</i>) to Contrasted Land Use. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study examines dietary shifts in black‐backed jackals across different land‐use types using DNA metabarcoding. Results reveal that jackal diets vary significantly by landscape and season, with a strong reliance on sheep in livestock areas, selective feeding on greater kudu on game farms, and a broader, more even prey profile in nature reserves ...

Spatial tissue proteomics reveals distinct landscapes of heterogeneity in cutaneous papillomavirus‐induced keratinocyte carcinomas

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 95, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Infection with certain cutaneous human papillomaviruses (HPV), in conjunction with chronic ultraviolet (UV) exposure, are the major cofactors of non‐melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), the most frequent cancer type worldwide. Cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) as well as tumors in general represent three‐dimensional entities determined by both

Genetic diversity of rodent species sold in South African pet shops

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 89-101, March 2023., 2023
Abstract Murid rodents are considered globally important invasive species, yet they are still sold in the pet trade. Little is known about the genetic diversity of traded rodents, and many species are incorrectly identified in the pet trade. We used mitochondrial gene regions to assess the taxonomy and genetic diversity of 149 rodents sold in pet shops

Consuming and consumed: Biotic interactions of African mistletoes across different trophic levels

Biotropica, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 1103-1119, July 2022., 2022
Mistletoes, as perennial hemiparasitic angiosperms that parasitize woody plants, are an important component of the African flora, yet little is known about the composition and function of the organismal communities associated with these plants in Africa.

Climate change impacts on ecosystems and adaptation options in nine countries in southern Africa: What do we know?

Ecosphere, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2021., 2021
Abstract Southern Africa harbors exceptional biodiversity that is increasingly threatened by climate change, land use, and other pressures. However, risks to the regional ecosystems and quality and consistency of adaptation strategies remain understudied, making conservation and restoration efforts challenging.
