Description
A three years longitudinal study (2014 – 2017) carried out in a low-income community in the city of Salvador, Bahia State, Brazil to characterize the effect of interventions (chemical and infrastructural) on the long –term dynamics of a rodent population, using tracking plates, a proxy for rodent abundance/activity to document rodent post intervention recovery in 117 households/sampling points.
