In the Central Highlands, where the disease is still endemic, the black rat (\n                      <jats:italic>Rattus rattus<\/jats:italic>\n                      ) is the main reservoir of the causative agent\n                      <jats:italic>Yersinia pestis<\/jats:italic>\n                      . Understanding its population dynamics and structure is therefore crucial to inform control strategies, as dispersal may greatly limit the effectiveness of local interventions during outbreaks. In this context, our study investigates the genetic structure of\n                      <jats:italic>R. rattus<\/jats:italic>\n                      populations at a fine geographical scale and across two different years.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n                    <jats:title>Methodology\/Principal findings<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Sampling was conducted in six villages of the\u00a0Azobenzene\u00a0district, both inside houses and in habitat outside villages. A total of 480 individuals, captured in March \u2013 May 2019 and 2020, were genotyped at 18 microsatellite loci. Our results showed that genetic diversity levels were relatively similar among villages and years. However, subpopulations living outside villages displayed significantly higher genetic diversity and lower genetic differentiation levels than those from inside houses, indicating larger effective population sizes outside villages in the cultivated habitats. These findings suggest more restricted movement among rat subpopulations from the houses, and greater connectivity among subpopulations living outside villages. However, overall genetic differentiation was rather low, suggesting extensive dispersal of rats at the scale of the district, facilitating rapid recolonization after local control efforts.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Because of the recolonization problem, an integrated approach combining flea control inside houses together with measures to reduce human-rodent contact would thus appear more appropriate than rodent control only to limit plague transmission.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0334819","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,13]],"date-time":"2026-07-13T17:25:11Z","timestamp":1783963511000},"page":"e0334819","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Genetic structure of Rattus rattus populations in an endemic plague focus in Madagascar: Implications for rodent surveillance and management"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1255-8063","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Mamionah N.
