Effect of Land-Use on Hantavirus Infection Among Introduced and Endemic Small Mammals of Madagascar. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAddressing the risk of Hantavirus spillover from animal reservoirs to humans requires identifying the local reservoirs and the predictors of infection. We screened a collection of 1880 small mammals for Hantavirus RNA from northeastern Madagascar, and specifically investigated the influence of diverse natural or anthropized habitats as well as animal ...

Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, 2009 Summary A comparison was made of the encephalization of 18 species of shrews and the macromorphology of their brains. S. etruscus, one of the smallest living mammals, is in line with the other white-toothed shrews in both encephalization and brain morphologgyy. Like S. murinus, in encephalization, it is close to the lower end of the scale.
