Landscape composition and spatial prediction of alveolar echinococcosis in southern Ningxia, China. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2008
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.

Combining eDNA Metabarcoding, Hydrology‐Based Modeling and Camera Trap Datasets to Assess the Potential of River eDNA in Monitoring Terrestrial Mammals

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
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

What does the fox select? Spatial ecology of Rocky Mountain red fox during peaks and troughs of human recreation

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2025.
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 ...

Parasites in brains of wild rodents (Arvicolinae and Murinae) in the city of Leipzig, Germany

open access: yesInternational Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2019
Small rodents serve as intermediate or paratenic hosts for a variety of parasites and may participate in the transmission of these parasites into synanthropic cycles.

Lemming and Vole Cycles: A New Intrinsic Model

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2024.
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.

Description of Paranoplocephala yoccozi n. sp. (Cestoda: Anoplocephalidae) from the snow vole Chionomys nivalis in France, with a review of anoplocephalid cestodes of snow voles in Europe

open access: yesParasite, 2005
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 ...

A new permanent cell line derived from the bank vole (Myodes glareolus) as cell culture model for zoonotic viruses

open access: yesVirology Journal, 2011
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 ...

Mammal endemism In Italy: A review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Although there are various checklists of Italian mammals, there is not yet a synthesis of those mammals that are endemic to Italy. Therefore, we provide for the first time a detailed review on Italian mammal endemic species including endemic taxa ...

Do fossorial water voles have a functional vomeronasal organ? A histological and immunohistochemical study

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 307, Issue 8, Page 2912-2932, August 2024.
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
