Effects of habitat management on rodent diversity, abundance, and virus infection dynamics

This study evaluates how different prairie management practices affect rodent communities and their virus infection rates, finding that controlled burns support diverse rodent populations and higher antibody prevalence against rodent-borne viruses.

Viral competence data improves rodent reservoir predictions for American orthohantaviruses

This study uses machine learning to predict rodent reservoirs of orthohantaviruses, finding that competence data improves model accuracy over infection data.
