There were strong differences in the abundance (A) and plague seroprevalence (B) of rodent species and across the two land-use treatment types surveyed: agricultural (yellow) and conserved (green). Combining these two metrics provides an estimate of the likely number of plague seroprevalent rodents per species and treatment (C). Here we plot mean and SD (when appropriate). The eight species monitored in this study were Gerbilliscus robustus (GERO), Grammomys dolichurus (GRDO), Graphiurus murinus (GRMU), Lemnisomys striatus (LEST), Lophuromys makundii (LOMA), Mastomys natalensis (MANA), Mus minutoides and musculoides (MUS), and Praomys taitae (PRTA).
