Network “Rodent-borne pathogens”: looking into the rodent reservoirs [PDF]

, 2018
Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a severe neurological disease caused by the TBE virus (TBEV), a flavivirus transmitted mainly by the tick Ixodes ricinus. TBE has a patchy distribution in natural endemic hotspots.

A Landscape Restoration Initiative Reverses Desertification with High Spatiotemporal Variability in the Hinterland of Northwest China

Land, 2023
Although we are in an era of enormous global commitments to ecological restoration (the UN Decade on ER; the Bonn Challenge), little attention has been paid to the importance of sustained commitment to individual restoration initiatives and few resources

Socio-cultural factors influencing the adoption of ecologically based rodent pest management

, 2006
Ecologically based rodent pest management (EBRM) offers an alternative and more effective approach than the reactive use of rodenticides following high losses in rice crops. EBRM combines both cultural and physical rodent management practices, requires a

Allocentric directional processing in the rodent and human retrosplenial cortex [PDF]

, 2014
Head direction cells in the rodent brain have been investigated for a number of years, providing us with a detailed understanding of how the rodent brain codes for allocentric direction.

Influence of grazing on the activity pattern and temporal niche of two dominant rodent species in Alxa desert

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Grazing by large herbivores can potentially affect interspecific interactions between small herbivores by reducing the ecological fitness of animals.

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Effects of overgrazing on the functional diversity of rodents in desert areas

Ecology and Evolution
Environmental stressors and disturbances can cause changes in an ecosystem's community structure, which can be reflected in its functional diversity. As grazing intensity increases, this causes changes in the environment that inevitably lead to changes ...

Establishment and Preliminary Application of a Multiplex TaqMan Real-Time Fluorescence Quantitative PCR Assay for the Detection of Pneumocystis Species

Microorganisms
Pneumocystis is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that causes severe Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) in immunocompromised individuals and laboratory animals. Three host-specific species—Pneumocystis murina (P. murina), Pneumocystis carinii (P.

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

Morphometric dataset of Varanus salvator for non-invasive sex identification using machine learning

Scientific Data
Reliable sex identification in Varanus salvator traditionally relied on invasive methods like genetic analysis or dissection, as less invasive techniques such as hemipenes inversion are unreliable.
