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

PLoS 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.

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

The 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

Properties of vertebrate predator–prey networks in the high Arctic

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2024.
Predation is an important ecological process, particularly in arctic environments, which undergo rapid environmental change. Vertebrate trophic networks from a fragmented terrestrial ecosystem on northern Ellesmere Island and north Greenland were less complex, had more specialized interactions, and were more nested and more modular than random ...

Blood meal analysis reveals sources of tick‐borne pathogens and differences in host utilization of juvenile Ixodes ricinus across urban and sylvatic habitats

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 71, Issue 4, Page 442-450, June 2024.
Abstract Aims Urban green spaces are locations of maximal human activity, forming areas of enhanced risk for tick‐borne disease (TBD) transmission. Being also limited in spatial scale, green spaces form prime targets for control schemes aiming to reduce TBD risk.

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

Virology 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 ...

Is the diet cyclic phase‐dependent in boreal vole populations?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2024.
This study investigates the diets of two key boreal rodents through DNA metabarcoding to evaluate whether their food intake varies systematically with their multi‐annual population cycles. The findings suggest that diet changes related to these cycles are marginal compared to overall diet flexibility and suggest that the broad diets, with little ...
