Effects of life-history traits on parasitism in a monogamous mammal, the eastern rock sengi (Elephantulus myurus)

Lutermann, Heike; Medger, Katarina; Horak, Ivan Gerard (Springer, 2012-02)

The distribution of parasites is often characterised by substantial aggregation with a small proportion of hosts harbouring the majority of parasites. This pattern can be generated by abiotic and biotic factors that affect ...
The Namaqua rock mouse (Micaelamys namaquensis) as a potential reservoir and host of arthropod vectors of diseases of medical and veterinary importance in South Africa

Fagir, Dina M.; Ueckermann, Edward A.; Horak, Ivan Gerard; Bennett, Nigel Charles; Lutermann, Heike (BioMed Central, 2014-08)

BACKGROUND : The role of endemic murid rodents as hosts of arthropod vectors of diseases of medical and veterinary significance is well established in the northern hemisphere. In contrast, endemic murids are comparative ...
