Land-use change and rodent-borne diseases: hazards on the shared socioeconomic pathways [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B, 2021
Abstract Land-use change has a direct impact on species survival and reproduction, altering their spatio-temporal distributions. It acts as a selective force that favours the abundance and diversity of reservoir hosts and affects host–pathogen dynamics and prevalence.

Knowledge, attitude, and preventive practices toward rodent-borne diseases in Ngorongoro district, Tanzania [PDF]

Journal of Public Health in Africa, 2023
In addition to their economic significance, rodents are hosts and transmit diseases. Most of rodent-borne diseases are endemic in rural Africa and sporadically lead to epidemics. Ngorongoro district is inhabited by humans, livestock, and wild animals.

Rodent-borne diseases in Thailand: targeting rodent carriers and risky habitats [PDF]

Infection Ecology & Epidemiology, 2012
Comparative analysis, which aims at investigating ecological and evolutionary patterns among species, may help at targeting reservoirs of zoonotic diseases particularly in countries presenting high biodiversity. Here, we developed a simple method to target rodent reservoirs using published studies screening microparasite infections.We compiled surveys ...

Rodent-Borne Parasites and Human Disease: A Growing Public Health Concern [PDF]

Animals
Rodents are among the most widespread mammals globally and serve as critical reservoirs for a wide array of zoonotic parasites that significantly impact human health. This review explores the growing public health concern of rodent-borne parasitic diseases, encompassing protozoa, helminths, and ectoparasites.

Mapping global risk of bat and rodent borne disease outbreaks to anticipate emerging threats [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Abstract Future epidemics and/or pandemics may likely arise from zoonotic viruses with bat- and rodent-borne pathogens being among the prime candidates. To improve preparedness and prevention strategies, we predicted the global distribution of bat- and rodent-borne viral infectious disease outbreaks using geospatial modeling.

Public health implications of rodent-borne zoonotic diseases [PDF]

Journal of Food and Animal Sciences, 2020
Rodents are the most abundant and diversified order of living mammals in the world. Their proximity with human population helps in the transmission of various zoonotic diseases. They are known to transmit around 60 common zoonotic diseases and not only serve as reservoirs of some of the emerging zoonoses but also hosts for a number of infectious ...

Impact of climate change on vector- and rodent-borne infectious diseases

Journal of health monitoring, 2023
Endemic and imported vector- and rodent-borne infectious agents can be linked to high morbidity and mortality. Therefore, vector- and rodent-borne human diseases and the effects of climate change are important public health issues.For this review, the relevant literature was identified and evaluated according to the thematic aspects and supplemented ...

Global parasite and Rattus rodent invasions: The consequences for rodent‐borne diseases [PDF]

Integrative Zoology, 2015
AbstractWe summarize the current knowledge on parasitism‐related invasion processes of the globally invasive Rattus lineages, originating from Asia, and how these invasions have impacted the local epidemiology of rodent‐borne diseases. Parasites play an important role in the invasion processes and successes of their hosts through multiple biological ...

Declines in large wildlife increase landscape-level prevalence of rodent-borne disease in Africa [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014
Significance Understanding the effects of biodiversity loss on zoonotic disease is of pressing importance to both conservation science and public health. This paper provides experimental evidence of increased landscape-level disease risk following declines in large wildlife, using the case study of the rodent-borne zoonosis ...
