Inventaire et Biogéographie des rongeurs du Niger : nuisance aux cultures, implications dans certains problèmes de santé publique et vétérinaire

Abstract

71 pagesRapport de Coopération de Gauthier DOBIGNY (CSN Niger 1999-200)An inventory of rodent species from Niger was performed during 1999 and 2000. It covers all the major biogeographic regions (Sudan, Sahel, Sahara) and relies on 55 sites scattered all over the counrty. Unambiguous species-specific diagnoses were provided by cytotaxonomic surveys. Implications in terms of taxonomy, biodiversity, biogeography, damages to cultures and stocks as well as potential human health problems are discussed
