Rodents play an active role in the transmission of a number of zoonoses by harboring and disseminating the pathogens involved, either through their biological materials or via their ectoparasites. Hence, the spatial and seasonal distribution of potential agents of zoonoses may be studied by...

Rodents are important pests of stored agricultural products. In addition to meeting basic nutritional needs, harmful species in storehouses find favorable conditions for development and reproduction and protection from natural enemies. The most harmful rodent species in storehouses are rats Rattus...

The hippocampus is a vulnerable brain structure susceptible to damage during aging and chronic stress. Repeated exposure to opioids may alter the brain so that it functions normally when the drugs are present, thus, a prolonged withdrawal might lead to homeostatic changes headed for the restoration ...
