Co-Circulation of Divergent Strains Supports Vector-Mediated Transmission of Rodent Hepacivirus J (<i>Orthohepacivirus glareoli</i>). [PDF]
VirusesOrthohepacivirus glareoli (RHVJ, Hepaciviridae) and its natural host, the bank vole (Myodes glareolus), have been proposed as a model system for human hepatitis C research, yet the mode of transmission remains largely unknown.

Island syndrome in rodents; a comparative study on island forms of the bank vole, Myodes glareolus [PDF]
, 2009 PhD 2009 QMIslands are extremely variable habitats, differing in shape, size, degree of isolation, geography and climate. They are often described as ‘natural laboratories’ and have proven beneficial for testing theories on evolution and adaptation ...

Bank vole alarm pheromone chemistry and effects in the field. [PDF]
Oecologia, 2021 AbstractChemical communication plays an important role in mammalian life history decisions. Animals send and receive information based on body odour secretions. Odour cues provide important social information on identity, kinship, sex, group membership or genetic quality. Recent findings show, that rodents alarm their conspecifics with danger-dependent

A Comparison of Small Rodent Assemblages after a 20 Year Interval in the Alps
Animals, 2023 Human-induced environmental alterations in the Alps may importantly affect small mammal species, but evidence in this sense is limited. We live-trapped small rodents in the Central-Eastern Italian Alps in three close-by habitat types (rocky scree, alpine

Beech Fructification and Bank Vole Population Dynamics--Combined Analyses of Promoters of Human Puumala Virus Infections in Germany. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The transmission of wildlife zoonoses to humans depends, amongst others, on complex interactions of host population ecology and pathogen dynamics within host populations. In Europe, the Puumala virus (PUUV) causes nephropathia epidemica in humans.
