The paper examines how pine plantations affect infectious agent communities in wood mice, finding habitat-specific impacts on infection probability and host abundance with implications for zoonotic risk.

This study analyzes genomic signatures of selection and introgression in house mice during their African expansion, finding that selection on native alleles drove adaptation, while introgression from M. spretus contributed to a smaller subset of loci.

This study examines genetic diversity and structure of Rattus rattus in Madagascar, finding higher diversity and connectivity in outdoor subpopulations, suggesting integrated control strategies are needed for plague management.

The paper surveys zoonotic pathogens in small mammals across a forest anthropization gradient, finding pathogen richness and community structure vary with host species, site, and urban adaptation traits.

The study examines co-infection patterns of Toxoplasma gondii and Trypanosoma lewisi in urban small mammals in Benin, finding a significant segregation between the two parasites.

The paper investigates changes in gastrointestinal helminth assemblages in invasive and native rodents in Senegal, finding support for the enemy release hypothesis but no strong evidence of parasite spillover or spillback.
