Intensive pine plantation management shapes infectious agent communities in the generalist rodent Apodemus sylvaticus, with consequences for zoonotic hazard

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.

Drivers of host-pathogen community assemblies in European forests and urban green spaces

The paper investigates how biodiversity and habitat changes affect pathogen communities in European forests and urban areas, finding that host diversity increases pathogen richness but urbanization reduces certain pathogens.

Surveillance of zoonotic pathogens in small mammals across a gradient of forest anthropization in Eastern France

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.

Parasites and invasions: changes in gastrointestinal helminth assemblages in invasive and native rodents in Senegal.

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.

16S rRNA amplicon sequencing for epidemiological surveys of bacteria in wildlife: the importance of cleaning post-sequencing data before estimating positivity, prevalence and co-infection

This paper describes a data cleaning procedure for 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing to accurately estimate bacterial positivity, prevalence, and coinfection in wildlife, using rodent samples from Senegal.
