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.

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 ...

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 ...

Community perceptions of health and rodent-borne diseases along the Inter-Oceanic Highway in Madre de Dios, Peru [PDF]
BMC Public Health, 2016 Background Madre de Dios is located in the southeastern Amazonian region of Peru. Rodents have been estimated to be the reservoirs for up to 50 % of emerging zoonotic pathogens, including a host of viruses, bacteria, and parasites.

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 ...

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.
