The Changing Landscape of Hantavirus Infections: A Narrative Review of Epidemiology, Pathogenesis, and Countermeasures

Reviews in Medical Virology, Volume 36, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Hantaviruses are emerging zoonotic pathogens of increasing global public health significance. Their epidemiological landscape is rapidly changing due to ecological disruption, climate variability, urbanisation, and evolving human–animal interfaces.

First record of Moniliformis moniliformis (Bremser, 1811) (Moniliformida: Moniliformidae) in mice of the genus Apodemus kaup, 1829 (Rodentia: Muridae) in Serbia [PDF]

Kragujevac Journal of Science
As a part of research activities focused on rodent helminth fauna in Serbia, over the previous decade, we registered the presence of a species with zoonotic potential, Moniliformis moniliformis, an acanthocephalan (or spiny-headed worm) intestinal ...

High Prevalence of Brucella microti, Co‐Infections With Other Zoonotic Pathogens, and Public Health Risk Related to Overpopulated Common Voles (Microtus arvalis), Czech Republic

APMIS, Volume 134, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The common vole (Microtus arvalis) is one of the most abundant rodent species in Europe and is known for its cyclic population outbreaks, which result in significant crop damage and an increased risk of transmission of zoonotic pathogens to humans.

On the importance of shelter availability for reptiles provided by burrow‐digging ecosystem engineers: a systematic review and a case study

Journal of Zoology, Volume 329, Issue 4, Page 315-326, August 2026.
In this article, we show that ground burrows influenced reptile populations inconsistently across both the 5‐year field study in the Kiskunság and the broader systematic review, which together revealed positive, negative, and neutral effects across species and habitat types.

Louse Flies on the Fly: Host Macroecology Shapes Interspecific Variation in Ectoparasite Prevalence Among Migrating Birds

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We analysed over 100,000 migrating birds from 157 species to identify macroecological drivers of interspecific variation in louse fly prevalence. Using phylogenetically informed Bayesian models, we show that host morphology, ecology and biogeographic traits shape infection patterns, with Ornithomya avicularia and O.

Taxonomic Hierarchy and Evolutionary Scenario of the Genus Group Apodemus s. l. (Muridae) of the Palearctic based of Genetic Differentiation in the cyt-b Gene

Zoodiversity, 2022
Characters of taxonomy and evolutionary scenario based on genetic differentiation of generic groups of forest and field mice Apodemus s. l. were established by analyzing the variability of the cyt-b (cytochrome-1, cytb) gene.

Seed dispersal by brown bears promotes trophic facilitation in a human‐dominated landscape

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Seed dispersal is a key ecological process with wide‐ranging implications for plant population dynamics, forest regeneration, and biodiversity maintenance. The role of carnivores and omnivores as endozoochorous dispersers is increasingly acknowledged.
