Signatures of Radiation‐Induced Stress and Putative Selection on Immune Targets in Chornobyl Wolves

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 9, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Investigating the physiological and evolutionary consequences of contaminant exposure in wild populations is critical for understanding long‐term ecological impacts of anthropogenic change. However, how and why species persist, even thrive, in highly contaminated regions in the absence of humans remains a topic of much debate.

The genetic diversity of Borrelia afzelii is not maintained by the diversity of the rodent hosts

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Small mammals are essential in the enzootic cycle of many tick-borne pathogens (TBP). To understand their contribution to the genetic diversity of Borrelia afzelii, the most prevalent TBP in questing Ixodes ricinus, we compared the genetic ...

How Bank Vole-PUUV Interactions Influence the Eco-Evolutionary Processes Driving Nephropathia Epidemica Epidemiology—An Experimental and Genomic Approach

Pathogens, 2020
In Europe, Puumala virus (PUUV) is responsible for nephropathia epidemica (NE), a mild form of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS). Despite the presence of its reservoir, the bank vole, on most of French territory, the geographic distribution of

Artificial Irrigation Impacts the Seasonal Occurrence of Pathogenic Leptospira in Its Wild Reservoirs in a Mediterranean Environment

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 3, Page 218-225, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Human activities play a significant role in the emergence of infectious diseases. We aimed to test whether artificial irrigation affects the occurrence of a zoonotic bacteria sensitive to desiccation, pathogenic Leptospira species (pathoLep), in micromammals inhabiting Mediterranean ecosystems.

Seasonal Dynamics of Anaplasma phagocytophila in a Rodent-Tick (Ixodes trianguliceps) System, United Kingdom

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003
We investigated the reservoir role of European wild rodents for Anaplasma phagocytophila using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of blood collected from individually tagged rodents captured monthly over 2 years.

The Phenotypic Spectrum of Sporadic Creutzfeldt‐Jakob Disease Cortical Subtype

Annals of Neurology, Volume 99, Issue 4, Page 883-896, April 2026.
Objective The objective of this study was to characterize the phenotypic spectrum of the rare sporadic Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease cortical subtype (sCJDMM/MV2C) in a large multicentric autopsy cohort. Methods We evaluated clinical histories, biofluid markers, brain diffusion‐weighted (DW)‐magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and electroencephalogram (EEG ...
