Detection of Three Sarcocystis Species (Apicomplexa) in Blood Samples of the Bank Vole and Yellow-Necked Mouse from Lithuania. [PDF]

Life (Basel)
The genus Sarcocystis is an abundant group of Apicomplexa parasites found in mammals, birds, and reptiles. These parasites are characterised by the formation of sarcocysts in the muscles of intermediate hosts and the development of sporocysts in the ...

Conservation of strain properties of bank vole-adapted chronic wasting disease in the absence of glycosylation and membrane anchoring [PDF]

Neurobiology of Disease
Prion disease phenotypes (prion strains) are primarily determined by the specific misfolded conformation of the cellular prion protein (PrPC). However, post-translational modifications, including glycosyl phosphatidyl inositol (GPI) membrane anchoring ...

Identification of a homology-independent linchpin domain controlling mouse and bank vole prion protein conversion. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2020
Prions are unorthodox pathogens that cause fatal neurodegenerative diseases in humans and other mammals. Prion propagation occurs through the self-templating of the pathogenic conformer PrPSc, onto the cell-expressed conformer, PrPC.

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.

Effects of Climate and Land Use on the Population Dynamics of the Bank Vole (Clethrionomys glareolus) in the Southernmost Part of Its Range [PDF]

Animals
This study investigated the effects of habitat structure and climatic variables on populations of bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus), a northern species with adaptations to cooler climate, at the southern end of their range in Western Europe over a 16 ...

A domain responsible for spontaneous conversion of bank vole prion protein. [PDF]

Brain Pathol, 2019
Bank vole is a small rodent that shows high susceptibility to infection with diverse prion strains. To determine whether the increased susceptibility of bank voles to prion diseases can be attributed to the intrinsic nature of bank vole prion protein ...

Environmental radiation alters the gut microbiome of the bank vole Myodes glareolus. [PDF]

ISME J, 2018
Gut microbiota composition depends on many factors, although the impact of environmental pollution is largely unknown. We used amplicon sequencing of bacterial 16S rRNA genes to quantify whether anthropogenic radionuclides at Chernobyl (Ukraine) impact ...

The Bank Vole (Clethrionomys glareolus)—Small Animal Model for Hepacivirus Infection [PDF]

Viruses, 2021
Many people worldwide suffer from hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, which is frequently persistent. The lack of efficient vaccines against HCV and the unavailability of or limited compliance with existing antiviral therapies is problematic for health ...

Preliminary insights into the genetics of bank vole tolerance to Puumala hantavirus in Sweden. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2018
Natural reservoirs of zoonotic pathogens generally seem to be capable of tolerating infections. Tolerance and its underlying mechanisms remain difficult to assess using experiments or wildlife surveys.

Glareosin: a novel sexually dimorphic urinary lipocalin in the bank vole, Myodes glareolus. [PDF]

Open Biol, 2017
The urine of bank voles (Myodes glareolus) contains substantial quantities of a small protein that is expressed at much higher levels in males than females, and at higher levels in males in the breeding season.
