Occurrence of multiple infections of rodents with parasites and bacteria in the Sibang Arboretum, Libreville, Gabon Open
Background and Aim: Rodents are carriers or reservoirs of various bacteria, protozoa, viruses, and ectoparasites. Given the proximity of various rodent species and humans, there is a potential for the transmission of pathogens. Data on ect…

Antibacterial and antioxidant activities of plants consumed by western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) in Gabon Open
Zoopharmacognosy is the study of the self-medication behaviors of non-human animals that use plant, animal or soil items as remedies. Recent studies have shown that some of the plants employed by animals may also be used for the same thera…

Identification of novel orthonairoviruses from rodents and shrews in Gabon, Central Africa Open
In Africa, several emerging zoonotic viruses have been transmitted from small mammals such as rodents and shrews to humans. Although no clinical cases of small mammal-borne viral diseases have been reported in Central Africa, potential zoo…

Phylogenetic Groups, Pathotypes and Antimicrobial Resistance of Escherichia coli Isolated from Western Lowland Gorilla Faeces (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) of Moukalaba-Doudou National Park (MDNP) Open
(1) Background: Terrestrial mammals in protected areas have been identified as a potential source of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. Studies on antimicrobial resistance in gorillas have already been conducted. Thus, this study aimed to d…

Evaluation of the role of Guenons and Mangabeys in seed dispersal in Moukalaba-Doudou National Park, Gabon Open
In order to gain knowledge on the quantity of seed dispersed and the contribution of small diurnal primates in the ecosystem, a preliminary study on four species of monkeys was carried out in the northeastern part of the Moukalaba-Doudou N…

Novel orthonairovirus in rodents and shrews, Gabon Open
Small mammals harbor various zoonotic viruses and are natural reservoirs for emerging viruses. Here, we identified a novel orthonairovirus, which is genetically close to the virus suggested the association with human neural diseases. The v…

Seasonality in daily movement patterns of mandrills revealed by combining direct tracking and camera traps Open
Movement is a fundamental characteristic of animals, but challenging to measure noninvasively. Noninvasive methods for measuring travel have different weaknesses, so multiple techniques need to be applied multiple techniques for reliable i…

Improving cost-efficiency of faecal genotyping: New tools for elephant species Open
Despite the critical need for non-invasive tools to improve monitoring of wildlife populations, especially for endangered and elusive species, faecal genetic sampling has not been adopted as regular practice, largely because of the associa…

Application of DNA barcoding techniques to mammal inventories in the African rain forest: droppings may inform us of the owners Open
The DNA barcoding of fecal samples was used to inventory large- and medium-sized terrestrial mammals in the African rain forest. First, the appropriate DNA region for the genetic identification of various species was determined. Although a…
