AI Enabled IoRT Framework for Rodent Activity Monitoring in a False Ceiling Environment

Sensors, 2021
Routine rodent inspection is essential to curbing rat-borne diseases and infrastructure damages within the built environment. Rodents find false ceilings to be a perfect spot to seek shelter and construct their habitats.

Comparative analysis of rodent and small mammal viromes to better understand the wildlife origin of emerging infectious diseases

Microbiome, 2018
Rodents represent around 43% of all mammalian species, are widely distributed, and are the natural reservoirs of a diverse group of zoonotic viruses, including hantaviruses, Lassa viruses, and tick-borne encephalitis viruses.

Rodent models of neuroinflammation for Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2015
Alzheimer's disease remains incurable, and the failures of current disease-modifying strategies for Alzheimer's disease could be attributed to a lack of in vivo models that recapitulate the underlying etiology of late-onset Alzheimer's disease. The etiology of late-onset Alzheimer's disease is not based on mutations related to amyloid-β (Aβ) or tau ...

Changing landscapes of Southeast Asia and rodent-borne diseases: decreased diversity but increased transmission risks.

Ecological Applications, 2019
The reduction in biodiversity from land use change due to urbanization and agricultural intensification appears to be linked to major epidemiological changes in many human diseases.
