Development of a Fully Automated, High‐Throughput Molecular Assay for Detection of Rat Hepatitis E Virus in Routine Diagnostics

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Recently, cases of human infection with rat hepatitis E virus (ratHEV, Rocahepevirus ratti) have been reported worldwide. Due to the significant genetic differences between ratHEV and human HEV genotypes 1–4 (Paslahepevirus balayani), current HEV diagnostic assays are unable to detect ratHEV.

Small mammal survey on agricultural land during conversion and into full organic production [PDF]

, 2002
This report was presented at the UK Organic Research 2002 Conference. Loss of food and suitable habitat due to modern intensive farming and the decline of mixed farming systems has lead to a reduction in numbers of small mammals on farmland in the UK ...

Functional Organization of Visual Cortex in the Owl Monkey [PDF]

, 2004
In this study, we compared the organization of orientation preference in visual areas V1, V2, and V3. Within these visual areas, we also quantified the relationship between orientation preference and cytochrome oxidase (CO) staining patterns. V1 maps of

Screening red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) for possible viral causes of encephalitis [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Next to various known infectious and non-infectious causes, the aetiology of non-suppurative encephalitis in red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) often remains unclear.

Land use gradients drive spatial variation in Lassa fever host communities in the Eastern Province of Sierra Leone

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 2, Page 296-312, February 2026.
As West Africa urbanises, the risk of Lassa fever may paradoxically decrease. We found the invasive house mouse, a dominant urban species, outcompetes and displaces the primary Lassa virus host. Considering these species interactions is critical for accurately predicting future zoonotic disease patterns.

Detecting mass mortality events in wildlife populations

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Reports in the literature of mass mortality events (MMEs) involving diverse animal taxa are increasing. Yet, many likely go unobserved due to imperfect detection and infrequent sampling. MMEs involving small, cryptic species, for instance, can be difficult to detect even during the event, and degradation and scavenging of carcasses can make ...

Antimicrobial Resistance Profile of Foodborne Salmonella spp. and E. coli Isolates from Rodents and Shrews in Morogoro Municipality, Tanzania

Journal of Applied Veterinary Science and Technology
Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a pressing global public health issue that affects both human and animal health. Small mammals, such as rodents and shrews, represent a significant reservoir of zoonotic infections.

Rapid risk assessment on acute reference dose (ARfD) of cereulide in infants and information on acute consumption of infant formulae

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract EFSA has received a request for a rapid risk assessment for cereulide from the European Commission. Cereulide is a heat‐stable emetic toxin produced by Bacillus cereus, recently detected in infant formulae from multiple manufacturers. This led to precautionary recalls across several countries.
