Histamine metabolism of gastric carcinoids in Mastomys natalensis.
Pharmacological inhibition of gastric acid secretion and subsequent hypergastrinemia in Mastomys natalensis is an experimental model well suited for the study of gastric carcinoid formation. The genetic susceptibility of Mastomys to develop such tumors is a feature reminiscent of the situation in patients with the MEN-1 Zollinger Ellison syndrome, in ...

The ecology of Praomys (Mastomys) natalensis in southern Africa.
The only non-human host of Lassa virus so far identified is the multimammate mouse, Praomys (Mastomys) natalensis, but its precise role in the natural Lassa fever cycle remains to be determined. This species is also an important link in the plague cycle in southern Africa and is one of the commonest rodents of Africa.

Mastomys natalensis and Mastomys coucha: identification, habitat preferences and population genetics
M.Sc. Two species of multimammate mice occur in South Africa, namely Mastomys natalensis and M. coucha. These species, both reservoirs for different and equally important disease pathogens, are morphologically identical with variations described in chromosome number, sperm morphology, pheromones, ultrasound and allozyme and isozyme markers.
