MultiPrime: A reliable and efficient tool for targeted next‐generation sequencing
This study introduces multiPrime, a novel tool tailored for the wide‐ranging detection of target sequences through targeted next‐generation sequencing (tNGS). By integrating degenerate primer design principles with effective mismatch handling, multiPrime demonstrates enhanced precision and specificity in the identification of diverse sequence types ...

Effects of habitat management on rodent diversity, abundance, and virus infection dynamics
Burned and unmanaged sites had similarly high rodent abundance and diversity, but burned sites had a greater proportion of grassland species than unmanaged sites; cut sites had the highest proportion of grassland species but the lowest rodent abundance and diversity.

The influence of sugarcane pre‐harvest fire on hantavirus prevalence in Neotropical small mammals [PDF]
The use of pre-harvest fire in sugarcane fields surprisingly results in an increase in the abundance of Neotropical Sigmodontinae rodents, which might carry hantavirus.

Hantaviruses are the causative agents of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) in the Americas. In Central and South America, 28 hantavirus lineages were associated with different Sigmodontinae rodents. Of these, Lechiguanas hantavirus was initially described as a lineage associated with HPS cases in the central region of Argentina.

The role of diseases in mass mortality of wood lemmings (Myopus schisticolor) [PDF]
Like many other rodent species, the wood lemming (Myopus schisticolor) exhibits cycles with large population peaks but unlike most other European rodents, these peaks are frequently followed by mass mortality.
