This study explores the bacterial pathogens present in invasive rodents and shrews inhabiting the Busol Watershedโ€”an important forest reserve and water source in Baguio City. By identifying zoonotic risks and potential public health concerns, the research offers valuable information for local disease monitoring and ecosystem health management. It also emphasizes the ecological impacts of non-native species on protected urban environments.ย ๐Ÿ”ฌ๐ŸŒ

๐Ÿ‘ย A vital step toward understanding and mitigating ecological and health threats from biological invasions.
