For wildlife diseases, one often relies on host density to predict host infection prevalence and the subsequent force of infection to humans in the case of zoonoses.

Properties of Bacillus thuringiensis isolated from bank voles [PDF]
To assess the properties of B. thuringiensis naturally occurring in the intestines of bank voles.Seventeen Bacillus thuringiensis strains, exhibiting typical growth on selective medium for the B. cereus group and characterized by the ability to produce parasporal crystals, were isolated from bank voles trapped in the Łomza Landscape Park of the Narew ...

The vicious circle and infection intensity: The case of Trypanosoma microti in field vole populations [PDF]
Objective: In natural populations, infection and condition may act synergistically to trigger a vicious circle: poor condition predisposes to host infections, which further reduce condition, and so on.

Skin and gut microbiomes of a wild mammal respond to different environmental cues
Background Animal skin and gut microbiomes are important components of host fitness. However, the processes that shape the microbiomes of wildlife are poorly understood, particularly with regard to exposure to environmental contaminants. We used 16S rRNA

Zoonotic Virus Seroprevalence among Bank Voles, Poland, 2002–2010 [PDF]
Bank voles in Poland are reservoirs of zoonotic viruses. To determine seroprevalence of hantavirus, arenavirus, and cowpox virus and factors affecting seroprevalence, we screened for antibodies against these viruses over 9 years. Cowpox virus was most prevalent and affected by extrinsic and intrinsic factors.

Adjustable reach in a network centrality based on current flows
Centrality, which quantifies the "importance" of individual nodes, is among the most essential concepts in modern network theory. Most prominent centrality measures can be expressed as an aggregation of influence flows between pairs of nodes.

Ecological Niche Modelling of Bank Voles in Western Europe [PDF]
The bank vole (Myodes glareolus) is the natural host of Puumala virus (PUUV) in vast areas of Europe. PUUV is one of the hantaviruses which are transmitted to humans by infected rodents. PUUV causes a general mild form of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) called nephropathia epidemica (NE).

Quantifying whether different demographic models produce incongruent results on population dynamics of two long-term studied rodent species [PDF]
1. Population density (ind/ha) of long-term (>15 years) series of CMR populations, using distinct demographic models designed for both open and closed populations, were analysed for two sympatric species of rodents (Myodes glareolus and ...
