Dispersal in Mastomys natalensis mice: use of fine-scale genetic analyses for pest management [PDF]
, 2008 Mastomys natalensis is the major pest rodent in sub-Saharan Africa. In this study, population genetic techniques were used to gain new insights into its dispersal behaviour, a critical parameter in pest management.

An electrophoretic polymorphism in salivary amylases (Amy-1) of mastomys (Praomys coucha) [PDF]
Laboratory Animals, 1990 An electrophoretic polymorphism of salivary amylases ( Amy-1) in mastomys ( Praomys coucha) (MWC, MRJ and MCC strains) was detected. Amylase in MWC or MRJ saliva, which migrated fast toward the anode, was designated as AMY-1A, and that in MCC saliva migrating slowly as AMY-1B.

Cutaneous Papillomaviruses and Non-melanoma Skin Cancer: Causal Agents or Innocent Bystanders?
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).

Cell Fate Regulation upon DNA Damage: p53 Serine 46 Kinases Pave the Cell Death Road
BioEssays, Volume 41, Issue 12, December 2019., 2019 Phosphorylation of p53 at Serine 46 drives the apoptotic and ferroptotic cell death response upon severe, irreparable DNA damage. This review summarizes and discusses how the p53 Ser46 phospho‐mark is wired to the cell death response, which kinases are setting this deadly phospho‐mark, as well as its evolutionary conservation and deregulation in human ...

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.

Seasonal diet and numbers of prey consumed by Cape foxes Vulpes chama in South Africa
Wildlife Biology, Volume 20, Issue 3, Page 190-195, June 2014., 2014 The Cape fox Vulpes chama is one of the least studied Vulpes species, and little is known about their diet. By analyzing contents of scats, we determined the seasonal diet of Cape foxes on Benfontein Game Farm (BGF) in South Africa, and determined the biomass and number of rodents consumed.

Evaluation of Halogenated Coumarins for Antimosquito Properties
The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Mosquitoes are the major vectors of parasites and pathogens affecting humans and domestic animals. The widespread development of insecticide resistance and negative environmental effects of most synthetic compounds support an interest in finding and developing alternative products against mosquitoes.

Mastomys coucha as preclinical model to study macrophage-assisted DNA repair and cross-protecting L2 based vaccination in the same animal [PDF]
, 2023 Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is the most commonly diagnosed skin cancer in Caucasians and develops at UV-exposed areas of the body. Particularly the development of SCCs is favoured by infection with human papillomaviruses (HPVs).

BioMed Research International, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Lymphatic filariasis is a major debilitating disease, endemic in 72 countries putting more than 1.39 billion people at risk and 120 million are already infected. Despite the significant progress in chemotherapeutic advancements, there is still need for other measures like development of an effective vaccine or discovery of novel drug targets.
