Ground-based rodent control in a remote Hawaiian rainforest on Maui. [PDF]

, 2008
Effective control of introduced mammalian predators is essential to the recovery of native bird species in Hawai‘i. Between August 1996 and December 2004, introduced rodents were controlled within three home ranges of the Po‘ouli Melamprosops phaeosoma,

Use of rodents as models of human diseases

Journal of Pharmacy And Bioallied Sciences, 2014
Advances in molecular biology have significantly increased the understanding of the biology of different diseases. However, these discoveries have not yet been fully translated into improved treatments for patients with diseases such as cancers. One of the factors limiting the translation of knowledge from preclinical studies to the clinic has been the

CD9+ B Cells Induce T Follicular Helper Cell Apoptosis to Regulate Germinal Center Regression

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A unique subset of CD9+ B cells regulates germinal center B (GC‐B) cell regression by inducing T follicular helper (Tfh) cell apoptosis through multiple signaling pathways, such as ALCAM‐CD6. FOXP1 plays a key role in GC‐B cell differentiation. These findings clarify mechanisms of GC degeneration and termination and offer potential targets for adenoid ...

Rodent pest management in East Africa—an ecological approach

, 1999
Rodent Pest Management in East AfricaRodents are by far the greatest vertebrate pest problem in East Africa. They are responsible for substantial damage to food and cash crops, structures and industrial and domestic property.

Negative attitudes of an indigenous community are associated with lethal control of rodents in a temperate forest of Mexico

Ecological Solutions and Evidence
Rodents have been unwanted human commensals for millennia, as they can decimate crops and spread diseases. However, rodents perform essential ecological functions, and promoting awareness about this could boost native rodent conservation and increase ...

The Hidden Threat: Rodent-Borne Viruses and Their Impact on Public Health

Viruses
Rodents represent the most diverse order of mammals, comprising over 2200 species and nearly 42% of global mammalian biodiversity. They are major reservoirs of zoonotic pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, protozoa, and fungi, and are particularly ...

An Anti‐Amyloidogenic Approach to Specifically Block Memory Consolidation in Mice for Therapeutic Intervention

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Functional amyloid conversion of the translation regulator CPEB3 is essential for long‐term memory persistence. This study demonstrates that targeting this molecular switch with the anti‐amyloidogenic peptide QBP1 selectively blocks CPEB3 fibrillation without disrupting phase separation.

Emerging rodent-borne viral pathogens in NE Italy: overview of seroprevalence and genomic investigations [PDF]

, 2018
Rodents play a key role as reservoirs of many zoonotic emerging infectious diseases which represent an emerging public health threat worldwide. The hazard posed by rodent-borne pathogens is often underestimated since most infections are asymptomatic in ...

The Bioeconomics of Controlling an African Rodent Pest Species [PDF]

The paper treats the economy of controlling an African pest rodent, the multimammate rat, causing major damage in maize production. An ecological population model is presented and used as a basis for the economic analyses carried out at the village level

Gonadotropin‐Inhibitory Hormone (GnIH) and Its Receptor GPR147 Mediates Acute Stress‐Induced Activation of the Locus Coeruleus‐SAM Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gonadotropin‐inhibitory hormone (GnIH, also known as RFamide‐related peptide‐3, RFRP‐3) is a hypothalamic neuropeptide that regulates vertebrate reproduction via its receptor GPR147. Although GnIH is known to mediate stress‐induced reproductive suppression, its role in broader stress responses remains unclear.
