Effects of geography, ecology and host relatedness on parasite distribution in African mole-rats

What is it about?

This paper provides new information on parasites sustained by solitary African mole-rats (family: Bathyergidae) as well as a survey of all published records of parasites in this rodent family and how geography, phylogeny and ecology may have contributed to the distribution of parasites across host species in this subterranean rodent family.
