Rodent-borne diseases and their risks for public health

Critical Reviews in Microbiology, 2009
Rodents are the most abundant and diversified order of living mammals in the world. Already since the Middle Ages we know that they can contribute to human disease, as black rats were associated with distribution of plague. However, also in modern times rodents form a threat for public health. In this review article a large number of pathogens that are

Emerging patterns in rodent-borne zoonotic diseases

Science
Rodents are ubiquitous and typically unwelcome dwellers in human habitats worldwide, infesting homes, farm fields, and agricultural stores and potentially shedding disease-causing microbes into the most human-occupied of spaces. Of the vertebrate animal taxa that share pathogens with us, rodents are the most abundant and diverse, with hundreds of ...

Arthropod-Borne and Rodent-Borne Viral Diseases

American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1986
This book constitutes the written report of a WHO Scientific Group that met in early 1983 to discuss arthropod- and rodent-borne viral diseases. The book contains sections on virus classification, global and regional public health problems, epidemiological concepts, and diseases and their management, methods for detecting these infections, pathogenesis,

Surveys of rodent‐borne disease in Thailand with a focus on scrub typhus assessment

Integrative Zoology, 2008
AbstractThe epidemiology of many rodent‐borne diseases in South‐East Asia remains ill‐defined. Scrub typhus and lep‐tospirosis are common and medically significant, while other zoonotic diseases, such as spotted fever group Rickettsiae have been identified, but their overall medical significance is unknown.

Climate Variability and Change in the United States: Potential Impacts on Vector- and Rodent-Borne Diseases [PDF]

Environmental Health Perspectives, 2001
Diseases such as plague, typhus, malaria, yellow fever, and dengue fever, transmitted between humans by blood-feeding arthropods, were once common in the United States. Many of these diseases are no longer present, mainly because of changes in land use, agricultural methods, residential patterns, human behavior, and vector control.

Regulation of Rodent-Borne viruses in the natural host: implications for human disease

2006
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Prevalence and transmission rates of rodent-borne viruses within host populations vary in time and space and among host-virus systems. Improving our understanding of the causes of these variations will lead to a better understanding of changes in disease risk to humans. The regulators of prevalence and

Achieving inter- and transdisciplinarity in Ecohealth: insights from a rodent-borne disease project in a polycrisis era

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Introduction Inter- and transdisciplinary research (ITDR) is increasingly promoted to address “wicked problems”, particularly in health sectors adopting approaches like Ecohealth. Our Ecohealth-inspired project on rodent-borne diseases, initiated just before the COVID-19 pandemic, provided an opportunity to ...

Threshold dynamics in mathematical models for mosquito- and rodent-borne diseases with seasonality

2022
The Ph.D. thesis investigates the impact of the periodicity of weather on the spread of malaria, Zika fever, and Lassa fever by applying non-autonomous compartmental population models with time-dependent (periodic) parameters. The dynamics of the system is characterized by the basic reproduction number R0 of periodic compartmental models, defined as ...

Vector- and Rodent-Borne Diseases in Europe and North America

2006
A significant number of diseases are carried by insects, ticks, mites and rodents, and these diseases are far more common than is often realised. New diseases are regularly discovered and are becoming increasingly widespread, in part due to increased global travel and possibly even climate change.

[Microbiological diagnosis of emerging arboviral and rodent borne diseases].

Enfermedades infecciosas y microbiologia clinica, 2017
Vector borne viruses (VBV) include viruses transmitted by arthropods, rodents and other animals. In Spain the three main autochthonous VBVs causing human diseases are: Toscana, West Nile and Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis viruses. There are also other imported viruses that are potential threats to our public health, due to the presence of competent ...
