A multiregional serosurvey of RNA virus-reactive antibodies in bats and rodents reveals the enzootic presence of flavi- and paramyxoviruses in African Pteropodidae

Bats and rodents have been identified as reservoir hosts of diverse RNA viruses that pose potential risks to humans. However, overall virus prevalence in wildlife and underlying factors determining the zoonotic potential of reservoir-borne viruses remain poorly characterized. Vir...

Forgotten reservoirs: an attempt to revive field research on rodent malaria parasites in their main natural host, the thicket rat Grammomys poensis (formerly Thamnomys rutilans)

<title>Abstract</title> Rodent malaria parasites have long served as essential experimental models for understanding human malaria, yet little is known about their ecology and evolution in the wild. The thicket rat <italic>Grammomys poensis</italic> (formerly <italic>Thamnomys ru...
