Seroprevalence of Trichinella spp. infection in bank voles (Myodes glareolus) – A long term study [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2019 Rodents play an important role as reservoir hosts of zoonotic diseases. As a component of our long-term programme of monitoring parasitic infections in bank vole populations in three ecologically similar sites in NE Poland, we screened blood samples for ...

Expansion of rDNA and pericentromere satellite repeats in the genomes of bank voles Myodes glareolus exposed to environmental radionuclides [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Altered copy number of certain highly repetitive regions of the genome, such as satellite DNA within heterochromatin and ribosomal RNA loci (rDNA), is hypothesized to help safeguard the genome against damage derived from external stressors. We quantified

In Vivo Characterization of Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus in Bank Voles (Myodes glareolus) [PDF]
Viruses, 2019 Tick-borne encephalitis is the most important tick-transmitted zoonotic virus infection in Eurasia, causing severe neurological symptoms in humans. The causative agent, the tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), circulates between ticks and a variety of ...

High Frequency of Apodemus Mice Boosts Inverse Activity Pattern of Bank Voles, Clethrionomys glareolus, through Non-Aggressive Intraguild Competition [PDF]
Animals, 2023 Sympatric animals with similar requirements can separate their ecological niches along the microhabitat, food and time axes. There may be alternative reasons for an interspecific different activity pattern, such as intraspecific social constraints ...

Fibroblasts from bank voles inhabiting Chernobyl have increased resistance against oxidative and DNA stresses [PDF]
BMC Cell Biology, 2018 Background Elevated levels of environmental ionizing radiation can be a selective pressure for wildlife by producing reactive oxygen species and DNA damage. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms that are affected are not known. Results We isolated
