This study analyzes blood-meal sources of Culex mosquitoes in Tanzania, finding humans and non-commensal rodents as primary hosts and no human-pathogenic arboviruses detected.

This study tracks CD4+ T cell and IgG responses over time after yellow fever vaccination, showing peak activation at day 22 and long-term antibody persistence.

The paper reports the detection of 15 virus strains in 27 African wild mammal species and one domesticated species, highlighting new host ranges and potential zoonotic risks.

The paper examines microparasite prevalence in Southern giant pouched rats in Tanzania, finding high Bartonella prevalence and habitat-related infection patterns.

This study investigates Ebola virus circulation in wildlife and human interactions in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, finding antibodies in wildlife and humans but no active virus, suggesting seasonal spillover risks.

The paper shows density increases network connectedness in wild animal populations, but effects saturate, with stronger spatial than social impacts.

The paper identifies MPXV diversity in three rodent species in the DRC, showing multiple clades and proximity to human populations.

This study identifies six taxa within the genus Funisciurus in the Congo Basin using genetic and morphometric data, revealing biogeographical barriers and implications for pathogen transmission.

This study evaluates the impact of anthelmintic treatments on helminth and microparasite dynamics in wild Mastomys natalensis, finding that pyrantel pamoate reduces gastrointestinal nematodes and correlates with decreased Morogoro virus seropositivity.

This study detects antibodies against 15 arboviruses in Mastomys natalensis, revealing seroprevalence and potential role in arbovirus transmission.

This study conducted SARS-CoV-2 surveillance in all mammal species at two Flemish zoos between 2020 and 2021, finding no positive results in faecal or serum samples.

The paper compares Morogoro arenavirus infection patterns in naturally and experimentally infected mice, finding that 52% of natural infections match lab data, with mismatches attributed to chronic infections, maternal antibodies, and detection limits.
