Understanding the immunogenetic basis of coronavirus (CoV) susceptibility in major
pathogen reservoirs, such as bats, is central to inferring their zoonotic potential. Members of …

The straw-colored fruit bat (Eidolon helvum) is a pteropodid whose conservation is crucial
for maintaining functional connectivity of plant populations in tropical Africa. Land …

Zoonoses affect multiple host species, including bats, which are known to harbor and
transmit many zoonotic pathogens. The objective of this study was to detect antibodies …

Rodents, a globally distributed and ecologically important mammalian order, serve as hosts
for various zoonotic pathogens. However, sampling of rodents and their pathogens suffers …

Hantaviruses that infect humans are rodent-derived viruses with zoonotic potential. Several
studies show that before emerging in rodents hantaviruses could emerge in bats, which …

Zoonotic pathogens are responsible for most infectious diseases in humans, with rodents
being important reservoir hosts for many of these microorganisms. Rodents, thus, pose a …

Background: Zoonotic diseases are the major public health threat, with over 70% originating
from wildlife. Rodents, while beneficial to the environment, transmit many zoonotic diseases …

The current COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of the Coronaviridae family
as a threat to public health in the emergence of a deadly zoonotic disease. Rats are the …

In addition to their economic significance, rodents are hosts and transmit diseases. Most of
rodent-borne diseases are endemic in rural Africa and sporadically lead to epidemics …
