Diversity of Leptospira Species and Their Rodent Reservoirs in the Guinean Forest

Microorganisms
Leptospirosis is a bacterial zoonosis caused by pathogenic species from the genus Leptospira. Infection mostly occurs through indirect contact with environmental water contaminated with the urine of reservoir animals.

Arenavirus infection correlates with lower survival of its natural rodent host in a long-term capture-mark-recapture study

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Parasite evolution is hypothesized to select for levels of parasite virulence that maximise transmission success. When host population densities fluctuate, low levels of virulence with limited impact on the host are expected, as this should ...

When Viruses Don't Go Viral: The Importance of Host Phylogeographic Structure in the Spatial Spread of Arenaviruses.

PLoS Pathogens, 2017
Many emerging infections are RNA virus spillovers from animal reservoirs. Reservoir identification is necessary for predicting the geographic extent of infection risk, but rarely are taxonomic levels below the animal species considered as reservoir, and ...

Laboratory tests of seven rodenticides for the control of Mastomys natalensis [PDF]

Journal of Hygiene, 1979
summaryLaboratory feeding tests were carried out to assess the efficacy of seven rodenticides against Mastomys natalensis. The poisons (warfarin, coumatetralyl, difenacoum, brodifacoum, bromadiolone, calciferol and zinc phosphide) were all toxic at the concentrations normally used against Rattus norvegicus (Berk.), although several were unpalatable ...

Circulation of Lassa virus across the endemic Edo-Ondo axis, Nigeria, with cross-species transmission between multimammate mice

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2023
We phylogenetically compared sequences of the zoonotic Lassa virus (LASV) obtained from Mastomys rodents in seven localities across the highly endemic Edo and Ondo States within Nigeria.

O Mastomys natalensis como modelo alternativo nos estudos da esquistossomose mansoni experimental Mastomys natalensis as alternative model in studies on experimental schistosomiasis mansoni

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 1984
Foram estudados aspectos da infecção e da imunidade experimentais em um roedor — o Mastomys natalensis — inoculado com a cepa LE (Belo Horizonte) do Schistosoma mansoni, comparando os resultados com os do camundongo albino, animal tido como melhor modelo

Influence of sugarcane plantations on the population dynamics and community structure of small mammals in a savanna-agricultural landscape

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2019
Conversion of native habitats into agricultural monocultures is a major cause of biodiversity loss favouring a small number of generalist species. Rodents can cause significant declines in crop yield, hence understanding the factors affecting their ...

Seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in commensal rodents sampled across Senegal, West Africa

Parasite, 2018
Risks related to Toxoplasma gondii infection in humans remain poorly known in Senegal. Although rodent surveys could help to assess the circulation of T. gondii, they have seldom been set up in sub-Saharan Africa.

Reservoir displacement by an invasive rodent reduces Lassa virus zoonotic spillover risk

Nature Communications
The black rat (Rattus rattus) is a globally invasive species that has been widely introduced across Africa. Within its invasive range in West Africa, R.
