Commensal rodent habitat expansion enhances arthropod disease vectors on a tropical volcanic island

2021-04-21

Abstract excerpt

Release from predators and competitors on volcanic islands can lead to increased body size and population density, as well as expanded habitat usage of introduced animals relative to their mainland counterparts. Such alterations might help the spread of diseases on islands when these exotic animals also carry pathogenic agents, but is rarely investigated. The commensal Asian house rat ( Rattus tanezumi ) is confi...
