Recently Grant Singleton has invited me to join the RatZooMan Network,
so, hereby my first post. Two papers will soon be published, and the
topic might interest you, so that's why I am currently writing this
post.

The first article ("The Ethics of Rodent Control') is about the
inconsistency between the treatment of pest animals (particularly
rodents) and that of rodents that are used for animal experimentation.
This article will appear in Pest Management Science soon, and you can
find the preliminary version via: http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/120746731/abstract

The second article ("The role of rodents and shrews in the
transmission of Toxoplasma gondii to pigs") will appear in Veterinary
Parasitology and is about the effect of a rodent control campaign on
the reduction of the parasite Toxoplasma gondii in pigs. This study
emphasizes the role of rodents and shrews in the transmission of T.
gondii to pigs and the importance of rodent control towards production
of T. gondii-free pig meat.
