Forgotten reservoirs: an attempt to revive field research on rodent malaria parasites in their main natural host, the thicket rat Grammomys poensis (formerly Thamnomys rutilans)

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> Rodent malaria parasites have long served as essential experimental models for understanding human malaria, yet little is known about their ecology and evolution in the wild. The thicket rat <italic>Grammomys poensis</italic> (formerly <italic>Thamnomys rutilans</italic> ) is considered the main natural host of murine <italic>Plasmodium</italic> species in Central Africa. This s...
