Interspecific Cohabitation and Associated Zoonotic Risk in the Burrows of Niokolo‐Koba National Park, Senegal

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.
Burrows concentrate multiple species in confined spaces, potentially facilitating pathogen transmission. Camera traps at 105 burrow entrances in Niokolo‐Koba National Park documented 32 species generating 172 interspecific cohabitations. Potential zoonotic bacteria (Treponema, Francisella) were detected, and ticks were found in half of sampled burrows,
