Spatial variation in the parasite communities and genomic structure of urban rats in New York City.

Zoonoses and public health - 1 Feb 2018

Abstract excerpt

Brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) are a globally distributed pest. Urban habitats can support large infestations of rats, posing a potential risk to public health from the parasites and pathogens they carry. Despite the potential influence of rodent-borne zoonotic diseases on human health, it is unclear how urban habitats affect the structure and transmission dynamics of ectoparasite and microbial communities (all...
