Tick control bait box use by Peromyscus spp. influenced by habitat placement but raises questions on disease ecology

Ecosphere, 2019
White‐footed mice, Peromyscus leucopus (Rafinesque), and deer mice, Peromyscus maniculatus Gloger, are considered important reservoir hosts for Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, the causative agent of Lyme disease.

Increased Host Species Diversity and Decreased Prevalence of Sin Nombre Virus

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009
Emerging outbreaks of zoonotic diseases are affecting humans at an alarming rate. Until the ecological factors associated with zoonoses are better understood, disease emergence will continue. For Lyme disease, disease suppression has been demonstrated by
