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 ...
