Dynamics of Rodent-Borne Zoonotic Diseases and Their Reservoir Hosts: Invasive Rattus in South Africa
(University of California, Davis., 2012)
Lack of adequate sanitation and pest control, and poor housing conditions that prevail in much of both rural
and urban South Africa, cause rodent populations to thrive, promoting contact with humans, which results in ...
A mathematical epidemiological model of gram-negative Bartonella bacteria: Does differential ectoparasite load fully explain the differences in infection prevalence of Rattus rattus and R. norvegicus?
(Taylor & Francis, 2012)
We postulate that the large difference in infection prevalence, 24% versus 5%, in R. norvegicus and R. rattus,
respectively, between these two co-occurring host species may be due to differences in ectoparasite and
potential ...
Molecular characterization of cosmopolitan and potentially co-invasive helminths of commensal, murid rodents in Gauteng Province, South Africa
(Springer, 2018)
Concurrent studies of helminth parasites of introduced and native rodent species are few and miss the opportunity to identify
potential co-invasive parasite species. This study employed molecular tools to infer the phylogeny ...
Genetic identification of freely traded synanthropic invasive murid rodents in pet shops in Gauteng Province, South Africa
(2020)
Although synanthropic invasive murid rodents are freely traded in pet shops in South Africa, their taxonomic identities, however, remain largely unknown. Twenty-four murid rodents were sampled from pet shops in four of the ...
