  abstract = {{I}ncreasing studies on rodent-borne diseases still highlight the major role of rodents as reservoirs of numerous zoonoses of which the frequency is likely to increase worldwide as a result of accelerated anthropogenic changes, including biological invasions. {S}uch a situation makes pathogen detection in rodent populations important, especially in the context of developing countries characterized by high infectious disease burden. {H}ere, we used indirect fluorescent antibody tests to describe the circulation of potentially zoonotic viruses in both invasive ({M}us musculus domesticus and {R}attus rattus) and native ({M}astomys erythroleucus and {M}astomys natalensis) murine rodent populations in {S}enegal ({W}est {A}frica). {O}f the 672 rodents tested, we reported 22 seropositive tests for {H}antavirus, {O}rthopoxvirus, and {M}ammarenavirus genera, and no evidence of viral coinfection. {T}his study is the first to report serological detection of {O}rthopoxvirus in rodents from {S}enegal, {M}ammarenavirus in {R}. rattus from {A}frica, and {H}antavirus in {M}. m. domesticus and in {M}. erythroleucus. {F}urther specific identification of the viral agents highlighted here is urgently needed for crucial public health concerns.},
