Rodent-borne diseases and their public health importance in Iran. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018 BACKGROUND:Rodents are reservoirs and hosts for several zoonotic diseases such as plague, leptospirosis, and leishmaniasis. Rapid development of industry and agriculture, as well as climate change throughout the globe, has led to change or increase in ...

Modeling Parkinson’s disease in LRRK2 rodents
Neuronal Signaling, 2023 Abstract Mutations in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene are associated with familial and sporadic forms of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Sporadic PD and LRRK2 PD share main clinical and neuropathological features, namely hypokinesia, degeneration of nigro-striatal dopamine neurons and α-synuclein aggregates in the form of Lewy ...

Scientific Reports, 2021 Zoonotic diseases, caused by pathogens transmitted between other vertebrate animals and humans, pose a major risk to human health. Rodents are important reservoir hosts for many zoonotic pathogens, and rodent population dynamics affect the infection ...

Rodent models for prion diseases [PDF]
Veterinary Research, 2008 Until today most prion strains can only be propagated and the infectivity content assayed by experimentally challenging conventional or transgenic animals. Robust cell culture systems are not available for any of the natural and only for a few of the experimental prion strains.

Bacterial and viral rodent-borne infections on poultry farms. An attempt at a systematic review
Journal of Veterinary Research, 2023 Rodents are quite common at livestock production sites. Their adaptability, high reproductive capacity and omnivorousness make them apt to become a source of disease transmission to humans and animals.

Journal of Small Animal Practice, 1980 ABSTRACTThe main pet rodent species are introduced with some brief notes on their suitability as pets and normal behaviour. The general clinical features of disease are discussed with some emphasis on species variation. The important diseases that occur in the United Kingdom are described under the headings of respiratory disease, diseases of the ...

Rodent reservoirs of future zoonotic diseases [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015 SignificanceForecasting reservoirs of zoonotic disease is a pressing public health priority. We apply machine learning to datasets describing the biological, ecological, and life history traits of rodents, which collectively carry a disproportionate number of zoonotic pathogens.
