Geographic distribution and genetic characterization of Lassa virus in sub-Saharan Mali. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013
Lassa fever is an acute viral illness characterized by multi-organ failure and hemorrhagic manifestations. Lassa fever is most frequently diagnosed in Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Guinea, although sporadic cases have been recorded in other West ...

The effect of vagotomy on enterochromaffin-like cells in Mastomys natalensis

Journal of the Autonomic Nervous System, 1996
The effect of vagotomy on the development of ECL cell tumours was analyzed during drug-induced hypergastrinemia in Mastomys natalensis, a rodent prone to develop ECL cell tumours. Untreated animals were compared with animals receiving the histamine2-receptor blocker loxtidine (LOX) and with animals subjected to unilateral subdiaphragmatic vagotomy ...

Drivers of Mouse Plagues: Exceptional Rainfall Following Prolonged Drought Triggers Mouse Plagues in Southeastern Australia

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study identified a specific sequence of an extended drought followed by exceptional rainfall as a necessary precursor for mouse plagues in southeastern Australia. Long‐term rainfall anomalies interact with ecological processes to reset population dynamics, creating conditions that support rapid mouse population growth following periods of ...

Behavior‐Based Rodent Management: Mechanisms, Challenges, and Opportunities

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Management of rodent pests often relies upon their decisions about whether or not to interact with management tools such as baits and traps. These decisions are shaped by behavioral motivations that can vary with environmental context, over time, and between individuals, which provide both challenges and opportunities for control.

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 ...

Views of Health Professionals on the Contribution of Climate Change to the Transmission of Lassa Fever in Nigeria and the Implications for Risk Communication

Advances in Public Health, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Lassa fever is an acute viral haemorrhagic illness caused by the Lassa virus and is mainly spread through direct and indirect human–rodent interaction. In Nigeria, Lassa fever outbreaks are becoming more frequent, and studies suggest that changes in climatic and ecological conditions will exacerbate these trends. It is crucial that health professionals
