Beteiligung der Gene E6 und E7 des Mastomys natalensis Papillomvirus an der Entstehung von Hauttumoren in transgenen Mäusen
… der E6- und E7-Onkoproteine des kutanen Mastomys natalensis Papillomvirus (MnPV) an der Entstehung von Hauttumoren in transgenen Mäusen. Durch den Einsatz MnPV-E6-transgener Mäuse in eine Mehrstufenkarzinogenese konnte gezeigt werden, daß das kutane E6-Protein in chemisch induzierten …

Demography, Reproduction, Diet and Crop Depredation in Three Species of Rodents in Natural and Irrigated Fields in Nigeria
<p>Rodent populations of <em>Arvicanthis, Mastomys</em> and <em>Tatera</em> were studied during July 1990 to August 1992 in both natural and irrigated savannah fields of northern Nigeria. <em>Tatera</em> was entirely absent from the irrigated fields. Irrigation enhanced higher rodent population …

Molecular characterization of rodent- and-shrew-borne viruses and the prevalence and intensity of infestation of small mammal fleas, in Namibia
… in the host, the Natal multimammate mouse, Mastomys natalensis. A generalised linear model (GLM) was used to analyse the significant influence that different factors would present on the prevalence and intensity of flea infestation in three (Hardap, Khomas and Okavango, of the six regions. …

Small mammal community structure (Rodentia: Muridae) in Punda Maria, Kruger National Park, South Africa : Causes and consequences
… sp. while Acacia sites were dominated by Mastomys natalensis. Seed predation was high at the North-facing slopes, with a significant difference in predation on A. tortilis seeds. Seed dispersal activity was low; no , scatter hoarding was identified; only larder hoarding was observed by …

Rodent species composition, abundance, richness, and diversity amongst different habitats in two villages in the Mukwe Constituency, Kavango East region of Namibia
… disturbances. Some rodent species such as Mastomys natalensis are agricultural pests and have caused a lot of damage to crop harvests and peoples’ belongings. Additionally, rodents serve as vectors for deadly diseases which they can transmit to humans. The aim of this study was to examine …

Ecological profile of a Nigerian Sahelian wetland: toward integrated vertebrate pest damage management
… and rodents (mainly Avicanthis niloticus, and Mastomys natalensis) were the most important pests. Waterfowl depredation was uncommon, but locally severe wherever it occurred. Philomachus pugnax, perceived by many local farmers as a serious pest of rice, was observed not to be a significant pest …

Response of rodents to land use gradients in small-holder farms in Northern Limpopo: implications for ecologically-based rodent management (EBRM)
… (6). Despite the high diversity of rodents, only Mastomys natalensis, Gerbilliscus leucogaster, Steatomys pratensis and Rattus rattus were captured in meaningful sample sizes to allow for robust density estimation. Similarly there were strong seasonal effects on rodent captures, with almost no …

Detection of zoonotic bacterial pathogens in multiple hosts using a microbiome approach and molecular characterization of Anaplasma phagocytophilum
… msp4 genes. The bacterial blood microbiome of 25 Mastomys rodent species collected from three habitat areas revealed a total of 65,060 bacterial sequences with 29% of the total sequence reads obtained corresponding to Bartonella grahamii, 23% to Bartonella sp. strain RF255YX and 12% of sequences …
