Evaluating commercially available rodenticide baits for invasive Gambian giant pouched rats (<i>Cricetomys gambianus</i>)

Pouched rats can detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which causes tuberculosis, in human sputum. Historically, a phosphate-buffered saline solution was added to sputum in the belief that doing so improved rats’ detection of M. tuberculosis, but no relevant data were available.
