Effect of Resource Abundance on Woodland Rodents' Demography at Latitudinal Extremes in Europe

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
The study aimed to assess the role of food availability on rodent demography in populations characterised by different dynamics, that is multiannual cycles in Northern European populations and mast‐driven outbreaks in Southern European populations. ABSTRACT Climate change effects on primary productivity are especially evident along altitudinal and ...

Unraveling the Mechanistic Links Between Species Diversity and Infection Risk From Zoonotic Pathogens With Direct Transmission Among Reservoir Hosts: Rodent‐Orthohantavirus Systems as Models

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
In this review, we synthesize mechanistic evidence for diversity‐disease patterns in rodent‐orthohantavirus systems in the Americas, models of directly transmitted disease systems. We found that host regulation has been examined the most while other mechanisms have received less attention. Based on our findings, we propose that for a negative diversity‐

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

Land Use Change and Infectious Disease Emergence

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 2, June 2025.
Abstract Major infectious diseases threatening human health are transmitted to people from animals or by arthropod vectors such as insects. In recent decades, disease outbreaks have become more common, especially in tropical regions, including new and emerging infections that were previously undetected or unknown. Even though there is growing awareness

Is What Comes out the Same as What Goes in? A Preliminary Investigation of the Isotopic Impacts of Digestion by Red‐Tailed Hawks (Buteo jamaicensis) and Eurasian Eagle Owls (Bubo bubo)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
Isotope analysis of predator feces and consumed prey remains can be used to non‐invasively track diet and reconstruct past environment and climate conditions. However, one must account for the isotopic difference between diet and feces, as well as the possible influence of digestion on consumed prey tissues.

Detection and Determinants of Leptospira Infection in Rodents, Cattle, and Humans in Muheza District, Tanzania: A Call for One Health Approach

Public Health Challenges, Volume 4, Issue 1, March 2025.
This study showed co‐agglutination among rodents, cattle, and humans with serovars Hebdomadis, Sokoine, and Grippotyphosa. This study shed light on pathogenic serovars circulating among humans, rodents, and cattle and factors associated with seropositivity.

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.

Zoonotic Host Richness in the Global Wildland–Urban Interface

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 2, February 2025.
In the wildland–urban interface (WUI), where human settlements abut or intermix with wildlands, people may encounter animals that host zoonotic pathogens, which can spillover to cause human disease. We map the distribution of zoonotic hosts in the global WUI and show that large populations in tropical low–middle‐income countries (LMICs) are potentially

Evaluation of live attenuated plague vaccines in Praomys (Mastomys) natalensis [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1977
A live attenuated Yersinia pestis vaccine designated EV76-51f, which had previously been shown to be pathogenic in vervet monkeys but not in guinea pigs, was tested in the multimammate mouse Praomys (Mastomys) natalensis. Doses of 10(6) viable organisms inoculated subcutaneously as either a lyophilized suspension or an agar-grown culture resulted in ...

Species Composition and Population Status of Rodents in and Around Yeraba Priority State Forest Northwestern Ethiopia

International Journal of Zoology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Rodents are successful animals in every continent because of their having comparatively little size, short breeding cycle, and capacity to survive on a variety of food items. Rodents are bioindicators. Therefore, the study on the species composition and population status of rodents in and around Yeraba Priority State Forest, located in northwest ...
