Article Synopsis
  • Invasive rodents pose significant public health risks by spreading zoonotic diseases globally, and urban areas, as centers of trade and movement, play a crucial role in their distribution.
  • A study conducted in Niamey, Niger, reveals the early stages of rodent invasions in the city, highlighting the different spatial distributions of rural and commensal rodent species.
  • The study finds that invasive species (like Rattus rattus and Mus musculus) and native species (like Mastomys natalensis) are spatially separated, indicating a possible shift from native to invasive species that could have serious implications for human health.
