Mastomys natalensis is a possible natural rodent reservoir for encephalomyocarditis virus [PDF]

Journal of General Virology, 2021
Encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) infects a wide range of hosts and can cause encephalitis, myocarditis, reproductive disorders and diabetes mellitus in selected mammalian species. As for humans, EMCV infection seems to occur by the contact with animals and can cause febrile illnesses in some infected patients. Here we isolated EMCV strain ZM12/14 from

Description of a new species of Heligmonina Baylis, 1928 (Nematoda: Heligmonellidae) a parasite of Mastomys natalensis (Rodentia: Muridae) from Swaziland and new data on the synlophe of Heligmonina chabaudi (Desset, 1966)

Parasite, 2007
A new species of heligmosomoid nematode belonging to the subfamily Nippostrongylinae Durette-Desset, 1970 is described: Heligmonina wakelini n. sp., a parasite from the small intestine of the commensal rodent Mastomys natalensis (Smith, 1834) from ...

Rodent control to fight Lassa fever: Evaluation and lessons learned from a 4-year study in Upper Guinea. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
Lassa fever is a viral haemorrhagic fever caused by an arenavirus. The disease is endemic in West African countries, including Guinea. The rodents Mastomys natalensis and Mastomys erythroleucus have been identified as Lassa virus reservoirs in Guinea. In

Isolation of three novel rat and mouse papillomaviruses and their genomic characterization. [PDF]

, 2012
Despite a growing knowledge about the biological diversity of papillomaviruses (PV), only little is known about non-human PV in general and about PV mice models in particular.

Sympatric Occurrence of 3 Arenaviruses, Tanzania

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010
To determine the specificity of Morogoro virus for its reservoir host, we studied its host range and genetic diversity in Tanzania. We found that 2 rodent species other than Mastomys natalensis mice carry arenaviruses. Analysis of 340 nt of the viral RNA

Dispersal in Mastomys natalensis mice: use of fine-scale genetic analyses for pest management

, 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.

Mopeia Virus–related Arenavirus in Natal Multimammate Mice, Morogoro, Tanzania

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009
A serosurvey involving 2,520 small mammals from Tanzania identified a hot spot of arenavirus circulation in Morogoro. Molecular screening detected a new arenavirus in Natal multimammate mice (Mastomys natalensis), Morogoro virus, related to Mopeia virus.
