Variations in Ixodes ricinus Density and Borrelia Infections Associated with Cattle Introduced into a Woodland in The Netherlands [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The effect of introduced large herbivores on the abundance of Ixodes ricinus ticks and their Borrelia infections was studied in a natural woodland in The Netherlands. Oak and pine plots, either ungrazed or grazed by cattle, were selected.

Inheritance of the acoustic signal parameters in interspecific hybrids of the bank (Myodes glareolus) and the Tien Shan (M. centralis) voles

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019
Background The continuity of behavioral responses in the traits of offspring can be interpreted ambiguously because animal behavior can be transmitted from generation to generation genetically or can be trained.

MOLECULAR ANALYSIS OF PUUMALA ORTHOHANTAVIRUS STRAINS IN HEMORRHAGIC FEVER WITH RENAL SYNDROME PATIENTS REVEAL GENOME VARIANTS UNIDENTIFIED IN BANK VOLE POPULATIONS

open access: yesInternational Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2023
Intro: Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HRFS) is endemic disease in the Republic of Tatarstan (RT). Infection is caused by Puumala orthohantavirus (PUUV) circulating in bank vole (Myodes glareolus) small rodents.

Seasonal Changes in Nycthemeral Availability of Sympatric Temperate Mixed Forest Rodents: The Predators’ Perspective

open access: yesLife, 2023
(1) Background: Bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus) and Apodemus mice are of exceptional importance as prey for predators in temperate mixed forests. We hypothesized that overall prey availability would increase linearly with prey frequency, and that ...

Diet shift in bank voles induced by competition from grey‐sided voles? [PDF]

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, 2019
AbstractGrey‐sided voles (Myodes rufocanus) and bank voles (Myodes glareolus) co‐exist in boreal forests in northern Scandinavia. Previous studies suggest that the 2 species interact interspecifically, the grey‐sided vole being the dominant species.

HANTAVIRUS ANTIBODY OCCURRENCE IN BANK VOLES (CLETHRIONOMYS GLAREOLUS) DURING A VOLE POPULATION CYCLE [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Wildlife Diseases, 2003
Puumala virus, genus Hantavirus, is the etiologic agent of nephropathia epidemica, a mild form of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. The bank vole (Clethrionomys glareolus) is the natural reservoir species of this hantavirus. We initiated sampling of bank voles at sites of recently identified human nephropathia epidemica cases and paired control ...

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

open access: yesViruses, 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 ...

Wildfire‐induced short‐term changes in a small mammal community increase prevalence of a zoonotic pathogen?

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2019
Natural disturbances like droughts and fires are important determinants of wildlife community structure and are suggested to have important implications for prevalence of wildlife‐borne pathogens.

Molecular Detection and Characterization of the First Cowpox Virus Isolate Derived from a Bank Vole

open access: yesViruses, 2019
Cowpox virus (CPXV) is a zoonotic orthopoxvirus (OPV) that infects a wide range of mammals. CPXV-specific DNA and antibodies were detected in different vole species, such as common voles (Microtus arvalis) and bank voles (Myodes glareolus).
