Putting Rodents at the Center of One Health Programs: A Narrative Synthesis

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Rodents link human, animal, and environmental health across diverse ecosystems. Rodent diversity underpins both zoonotic disease risk and ecosystem function. Environmental change reshapes rodent communities and spillover dynamics. Rodents act as reservoirs, amplifiers, and sentinels of emerging pathogens.

From Data to Knowledge to Wisdom: Lessons Learned From the Vancouver Rat Project

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
A synthesis of 15 years of research conducted by the Vancouver Rat Project revealed that: (1) Pathogen ecology within rat colonies is the result of complex interactions among rats, pathogens, and vectors. (2) Local and global population structures influence rat and pathogen ecology.

Drivers of Host–Pathogen Community Assemblages in European Forests and Urban Green Spaces

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite advances in understanding infectious diseases, the persistence and re‐emergence of wildlife pathogens continue to raise public and veterinary health concerns. This study investigates the relationship between biodiversity and rodent‐borne diseases in Europe, focusing on habitat alterations and their impact on rodent diversity.

Epidemiology of Acute Q Fever, Scrub Typhus, and Murine Typhus, and Identification of Their Clinical Characteristics Compared to Patients with Acute Febrile Illness in Southern Taiwan

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2009
In Taiwan, acute Q fever, scrub typhus, and murine typhus (QSM diseases) are the most common rickettsioses, but their epidemiology and clinical characteristics have not been clarified. Diagnosis of these three diseases based on clinical manifestations is

An Atypical Skin Presentation of Adult‐Onset Still's Disease With Histological Description: A Case Report

Journal of Cutaneous Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Adult‐onset Still's disease (AOSD) is an auto inflammatory disorder with a variable clinical presentation, and without a pathognomonic diagnostic test, characterized by high spiking fever, arthralgia/arthritis, a suggestive skin rash, elevated white blood cell count 10 G/L (> 80% neutrophils), elevated ferritin, with glycosylated ferritin < 20%

Beyond the Kidney and Lung: Cutaneous and Mucosal Clues to Human Hantavirus Disease

International Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
Rodent exposure and aerosolized excreta can lead to hantavirus infection with systemic endothelial injury and capillary leak, resulting in thrombocytopenia and syndromes such as HPS/HCPS and HFRS/NE. Early dermatologic and mucosal findings, including flushing, conjunctival injection, petechiae/purpura, and mucosal bleeding, may provide important clues ...
