Such a situation makes pathogen detection in rodent populations important, especially in the context of developing countries characterized by high infectious disease burden. Here, we used indirect fluorescent antibody tests to describe the circulation of potentially zoonotic viruses in both invasive (Mus musculus domesticus and Rattus rattus) and native (Mastomys erythroleucus and Mastomys natalensis) murine rodent populations in Senegal (West Africa). Of the 672 rodents tested, we reported 22 seropositive tests for Hantavirus, Orthopoxvirus, and Mammarenavirus genera, and no evidence of viral coinfection. This study is the first to report serological detection of Orthopoxvirus in rodents from Senegal, Mammarenavirus in R. rattus from Africa, and Hantavirus in M. m. domesticus and in M. erythroleucus. Further specific identification of the viral agents highlighted here is urgently needed for crucial public health concerns. specialized biological invasions Hantavirus Mammarenavirus Orthopoxvirus rodents serology SENEGAL 052 080 17 10 730-733 2017 1530-3667 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010071037 10.1089/vbz.2017.2135 1530-3667 [F B010071037] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010071037 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2017/10/010071037.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2017-10-31 2024-11-08 fdi:010071037 fre
