Missed Opportunities for Timely Diagnosis and Effective Therapeutic Management of Prolonged Fever: A Case Study of Confirmed Lassa Fever in N’Zérékoré, Guinea, 2022

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Lassa fever is a potentially fatal viral hemorrhagic disease caused by a ribonucleic acid (RNA) virus of the Arenaviridae family, endemic in West Africa. It is highly virulent and contagious in several countries, with a nonspecific clinical presentation that poses a major public health challenge.

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 ...

Fractional‐Order Mathematical Modeling of Lassa Hemorrhagic Fever in Pregnant Women Under the Caputo Operator

Journal of Mathematics, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This study examines an etiological hypothesis that is closely related to the complexity of Lassa hemorrhagic fever (LHF), a disease that affects pregnant African women. The abovementioned disease that affects expecting mothers initially appeared in Africa and has negative consequences.

Gairo virus, a novel arenavirus of the widespread Mastomys natalensis: Genetically divergent, but ecologically similar to Lassa and Morogoro viruses [PDF]

, 2015
Despite its near pan-African range, the Natal multimammate mouse, Mastomys natalensis, carries the human pathogen Lassa virus only in West Africa, while the seemingly non-pathogenic arenaviruses Mopeia, Morogoro, and Luna have been detected in this semi ...

A Scoping Review of Machine Learning Applications Across Epidemiological Stages of Zoonotic Disease

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Emerging zoonotic diseases represent a significant threat to global health. While machine learning (ML) holds promise for their management, a comprehensive understanding of how these technologies are applied across the entire animal‐to‐human transmission pathway is lacking.

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.

Decomposition Dynamics of an Orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus morio) Carcass in a Tropical Forest: Implications for Conservation Practices

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
We documented the complete decomposition process of a wild Bornean orangutan carcass in a lowland dipterocarp forest in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. This represents the first detailed observation of great ape decomposition in Borneo. Our study provides a rare insight into the often‐overlooked process of carcass breakdown and decomposition in tropical ...

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

Partitioning Social and Spatial Drivers of Infection Risk

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
Contact rates drive disease spread, yet are often oversimplified as uniform across individuals. Using data on Mastomys natalensis, we show that exposure to Morogoro virus is linked to spatial overlap with infected conspecifics, but not overall overlap, and that direct contact occurs with only a few individuals despite broad home range overlap ...
