Bank Voles in Southern Eurasia: Vicariance and Adaptation [PDF]
Journal of Mammalian Evolution, 2016 Phylogeographic lineages are interpreted as the product of repeated isolation in glacial refugia, leading to vicariant differentiation. Being restricted to a given geographic area could also promote adaptive divergence in response to local conditions.

Biochemical characterization of prion strains in bank voles. [PDF]
Pathogens, 2013 Prions exist as different strains exhibiting distinct disease phenotypes. Currently, the identification of prion strains is still based on biological strain typing in rodents. However, it has been shown that prion strains may be associated with distinct PrPSc biochemical types.

Puumala Hantavirus Excretion Kinetics in Bank Voles (Myodes glareolus)
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008 Puumala hantavirus is present in bank voles (Myodes glareolus) and is believed to be spread mainly by contaminated excretions. In this study, we subcutaneously inoculated 10 bank voles with Puumala virus and sampled excretions until day 133 postinfection.

Spatial and Temporal Evolutionary Patterns in Puumala Orthohantavirus (PUUV) S Segment
Pathogens, 2020 The S segment of bank vole (Clethrionomys glareolus)-associated Puumala orthohantavirus (PUUV) contains two overlapping open reading frames coding for the nucleocapsid (N) and a non-structural (NSs) protein.

Epidemiology and fitness effects of wood mouse herpesvirus in a natural host population [PDF]
, 2012 Rodent gammaherpesviruses have become important models for understanding human herpesvirus diseases. In particular, interactions between murid herpesvirus 4 and Mus musculus (a non-natural host species) have been extensively studied under controlled ...

Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis in bank voles, France. [PDF]
Emerg Infect Dis, 2012 To further assess the geographic occurrence, possible vectors, and prevalence of Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis, we analyzed spleen tissues from 276 voles trapped close to human settlements in France; 5 were infected with the organism. Sequencing showed the isolates carried the same genotype as the bacteria that caused disease in humans and animals
