Evidence of multiple bacterial, viral, and parasitic infectious disease agents in <i>Mastomys natalensis</i> rodents in riverine areas in selected parts of Zambia
These results suggest that M. natalensis harbours multiple infectious agents with zoonotic potential, and riverine regions may be key hotspots for rodent-borne pathogens in Zambia.
