Abstract This report comprises the 15th assessment of the Echinococcus multilocularis surveillance scientific reports, provided by Finland, Ireland, the United Kingdom (Northern Ireland) and Norway on their respective surveillance programmes. Every year since 2012, EFSA presents the assessment to the European Commission in which the sampling strategy ...

Landscape composition and spatial prediction of alveolar echinococcosis in southern Ningxia, China. [PDF]
Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) presents a serious public health challenge within China. Mass screening ultrasound surveys can detect pre-symptomatic AE, but targeting areas identified from hospital records is inefficient regarding AE.

The North American fur trade fundamentally shifted baselines of furbearing mammals worldwide. Using camera traps and visual surveys, we document unexpected ecological and behavioral characteristics of a population of muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus) that was likely introduced to the Isles of Shoals (Maine/New Hampshire, USA) in the early 1900s.

By applying the hydrology‐based eDITH model to two mountainous catchments and comparing it with camera trap data, we found that for 9 out of 15 taxa, predicted distributions predominantly matched camera trap observations. We utilized predicted eDNA patterns to compare the potential of different sampling strategies and found that monitoring biodiversity

Abstract Understanding animal behavior at the population level can be challenging, especially in the presence of intraspecific variation in behavioral tactics. Individuals within a population often vary with respect to resource exploitation and use, which may be associated with individual states (e.g., male or female) or extrinsic variation (e.g ...

We describe Paranoplocephala yoccozi n. sp. (Cestoda: Anoplocephalidae) from the snow vole Chionomys nivalis in Bourg-Saint-Maurice, French Alps, compare it with several related species from rodents, and review the anoplocephalid cestodes of snow voles ...

Lemming and Vole Cycles: A New Intrinsic Model
It is 100 years since the first paper described the recurring nature of Arctic population cycles, yet the mechanistic drivers of these are still not well understood. This paper challenges researchers to consider a new paradigm, with reference to the role of epigenetics in the cycling process.

Cryptosporidiuminfecting wild cricetid rodents from the subfamilies Arvicolinae and Neotominae [PDF]
SUMMARYWe undertook a study onCryptosporidiumspp. in wild cricetid rodents. Fecal samples were collected from meadow voles (Microtus pennsylvanicus), southern red-backed voles (Myodes gapperi), woodland voles (Microtus pinetorum), muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus) andPeromyscusspp.

Background Approximately 60% of emerging viruses are of zoonotic origin, with three-fourths derived from wild animals. Many of these zoonotic diseases are transmitted by rodents with important information about their reservoir dynamics and pathogenesis ...

Abstract The fossorial water vole, Arvicola scherman, is an herbivorous rodent that causes significant agricultural damages. The application of cairomones and alarm pheromones emerges as a promising sustainable method to improve its integrated management. These chemical signals would induce stress responses that could interfere with the species regular
