DOI: 10.1002/ps.5040
Abstract: BACKGROUND Anticoagulant rodenticides have been widely used in rodent control in China for >30 years and resistant Norway rats have been reported. Mutations in the vitamin K epoxide reductase complex, subunit 1 (Vkorc1) gene can… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ps.6780
Abstract: BACKGROUND Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus) need to be controlled to prevent transmission of pathogens and damages to stored products and material, leading to considerable economic risks and losses. Given increasing resistance in Norway rats, the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/vms3.1020
Abstract: Abstract Background Despite the importance of domesticated animals in the generation and transmission of antibiotic‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus, the role of wild animals, specifically rodents, in the ecology of S. aureus remains unclear. We recovered and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10340-020-01299-3
Abstract: Resistance to anticoagulant rodenticides in Norway rats has been primarily explained by selection on the mutations in the vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (Vkorc1) gene. Whether warfarin resistance can be induced independent of… read more here.

Evidence of multiple intraspecific transmission routes for Leptospira acquisition in Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Epidemiology and infection"
DOI: 10.1017/s0950268817002539
Abstract: SUMMARY Infectious diseases frequently have multiple potential routes of intraspecific transmission of pathogens within wildlife and other populations. For pathogens causing zoonotic diseases, knowing whether these transmission routes occur in the wild and their relative… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-03841-3
Abstract: If individuals help more those who have previously helped them, stable cooperation may ensue through alternation of roles between donors and recipients. Allogrooming, which is costly to donors and beneficial to recipients, is often exchanged… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1749-4877.12296
Abstract: Studies of wild animals' immunity often use comparison with laboratory-raised individuals. Using such an approach, various data were obtained concerning wild Norway rat's immunity. Lower or higher potential of immune system cells to respond to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jsr.13863
Abstract: Ketamine is known for its antidepressant effects, but the mechanism underlying this effect remains largely unclear. In contrast to most antidepressant drugs, the action of ketamine is rapid, suggesting a different mode of action. A… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pbio.3000628
Abstract: When individuals exchange helpful acts reciprocally, increasing the benefit of the receiver can enhance its propensity to return a favour, as pay-offs are typically correlated in iterated interactions. Therefore, reciprocally cooperating animals should consider the… read more here.
