Variable Protease-Sensitive Prionopathy Transmission to Bank Voles [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019
Variably protease-sensitive prionopathy (VPSPr), a recently described human sporadic prion disease, features a protease-resistant, disease-related prion protein (resPrPD) displaying 5 fragments reminiscent of Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker disease ...

Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker disease subtypes efficiently transmit in bank voles as genuine prion diseases. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2016
Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker disease (GSS) is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder associated with mutations in the prion protein gene and accumulation of misfolded PrP with protease-resistant fragments (PrPres) of 6–8 ...

Genomic signatures of climate adaptation in bank voles. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2023
AbstractEvidence for divergent selection and adaptive variation across the landscape can provide insight into a species' ability to adapt to different environments. However, despite recent advances in genomics, it remains difficult to detect the footprints of climate‐mediated selection in natural populations. Here, we analysed ddRAD sequencing data (21,

Puumala Virus in Bank Voles, Lithuania. [PDF]

Emerg Infect Dis, 2017
Little is known about the presence of human pathogenic Puumala virus (PUUV) in Lithuania. We detected this virus in bank voles (Myodes glareolus) in a region of this country in which previously PUUV-seropositive humans were identified. Our results are consistent with heterogeneous distributions of PUUV in other countries in Europe.

Diabetes in Danish bank voles (M. glareolus): survivorship, influence on weight, and evaluation of polydipsia as a screening tool for hyperglycaemia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have concluded that the development of polydipsia (PD, a daily water intake ≥ 21 ml) among captive Danish bank voles, is associated with the development of a type 1 diabetes (T1D), based on findings of hyperglycaemia ...

Geographical Distribution and Genetic Diversity of Bank Vole Hepaciviruses in Europe

Viruses, 2021
The development of new diagnostic methods resulted in the discovery of novel hepaciviruses in wild populations of the bank vole (Myodes glareolus, syn. Clethrionomys glareolus). The naturally infected voles demonstrate signs of hepatitis similar to those

Stages of pregnancy of the bank vole [PDF]

Acta Theriologica, 1976
Przedstawiono sekwencje zmian zachodzących w narządach plciowych w trakcie ciązy oraz zmiany w ciezarze, dlugości i w morfologii zarodkow nornicy rudej, Clethrionomys glareolus (Schreber, 1780) pomiedzy 9 dniem ciązy a porodem. Stwierdzono, ze ciezar i dlugośc ciemieniowo-pośladkowa jest dobrą cechą dla ustalenia stadium zaawansowania ciązy pomiedzy 10

In Vivo Characterization of a Bank Vole-Derived Cowpox Virus Isolate in Natural Hosts and the Rat Model

Viruses, 2020
Cowpox virus (CPXV) belongs to the genus Orthopoxvirus in the Poxviridae family and is endemic in western Eurasia. Based on seroprevalence studies in different voles from continental Europe and UK, voles are suspected to be the major reservoir host ...

Tropism of Puumala orthohantavirus and Endoparasite Coinfection in the Bank Vole Reservoir

Viruses, 2023
In Europe, most cases of human hantavirus disease are caused by Puumala orthohantavirus (PUUV) transmitted by bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus, syn. Myodes glareolus), in which PUUV causes inconspicuous infection.
