Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Plague remains a major public health concern in Madagascar. In the Central Highlands, where the disease is still endemic, the black rat (Rattus rattus) is the main reservoir of the causative agent Yersinia pestis. Understanding its population dynamics and structure is therefore crucial to inform control strategies, as dispersal may greatly limit the effectiveness of local interventions during...
