Comparison of spleen transcriptomes of two wild rodent species reveals differences in the immune response against Borrelia afzelii

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Different host species often differ considerably in susceptibility to a given pathogen, but the causes of such differences are rarely known. The natural hosts of the tick‐transmitted bacterium Borrelia afzelii, which is one of causative agents of Lyme ...

Impact of Landscape on Host–Parasite Genetic Diversity and Distribution Using the Puumala orthohantavirus–Bank Vole System

Microorganisms, 2021
In nature, host specificity has a strong impact on the parasite’s distribution, prevalence, and genetic diversity. The host’s population dynamics is expected to shape the distribution of host-specific parasites.

The vicious circle and infection intensity: The case of Trypanosoma microti in field vole populations [PDF]

, 2009
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.

Excretion of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci by Wild Mammals

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2002
A survey of fecal samples found enterococcal excretion in 82% of 388 bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus), 92% of 131 woodmice (Apodemus sylvaticus), and 75% of 165 badgers (Meles meles). Vancomycin-resistant enterococci, all Enterococcus faecium of vanA

Effects of Ash Application on Cadmium Concentration in Small Mammals [PDF]

, 2002
In order to assess the effects of wood ash application to forests on small mammals, we collected bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus ) and common shrews (Sorex araneus ) from a forest area in southern Finland. Part of the sample population was from sites

Yellow-necked mice (Apodemus flavicollis) and bank voles (Myodes glareolus) as zoomonitors of environmental contamination at a polluted area in Slovakia

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2010
Background Free-living wild rodents are often used as zoomonitors of environmental contamination. In the present study, accumulation of cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), and zinc (Zn) in critical organs of yellow-necked mice (Apodemus flavicollis ...
