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

Predicting Mammal Species Suitable for Chagas Disease Spread Using a Machine‐Learning Framework
Chagas disease is maintained in wildlife by Trypanosoma cruzi cycling among many mammal species, but we still do not know the full range of potential hosts. Using machine learning and ecological/behavioral traits, we found that kissing bugs overlap with 573 mammal species and tend to feed on mammals that are den‐dwelling, medium‐to‐large in size, and ...

ABSTRACT Introduction Maternal intake of artificial sweeteners in beverages (ASB) during pregnancy may have a programming effect on offspring health, including biomarkers of male fecundity. Objective We investigated whether maternal intake of ASB during pregnancy was associated with biomarkers of male fecundity in adult sons.

The Impact of Common Medications on Male Fertility: An Updated Systematic Review
ABSTRACT Background Compared with those of cytotoxic treatments, the potential effects of common medications on the fertility of men trying to conceive currently or planning to conceive in the future are less well described. The use of common medications may modify the gonadotropic axis, spermatogenesis, and epididymal maturation or alter male ...
