Spatio-temporal spread of Lassa virus and a new rodent host in the Mano River Union area, West Africa

Emerging Microbes and Infections
The spread of Lassa virus (LASV) in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, which together are named the Mano River Union (MRU) area, was examined phylogeographically.

Mastomys natalensis and Mastomys coucha: identification, habitat preferences and population genetics

, 2010
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.

Praomys (Mastomys) natalensis: a model for gastric carcinoid formation.

The Yale journal of biology and medicine, 1994
The gastric carcinoid tumors of Praomys (Mastomys) natalensis have been reviewed with respect to histogenesis, development, biochemistry, and morphological properties. Multicentric gastric carcinoids frequently develop in the oxyntic mucosa of aging Mastomys. The development of these tumors can be significantly enhanced by drug-induced hypergastrinemia,

The ecology of Praomys (Mastomys) natalensis in southern Africa.

Bulletin of the World Health Organization, 1976
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.
