On the craniological differentiation of Crocidura leucodon and C. suaveolens of the Belorussian fauna species: occipital sutures

Novitates Theriologicae, 2021
The shape of sutures between the parietal and occipital bones was analysed in specimens of Crocidura leucodon (n = 22) and C. suaveolens (n = 28) caught in Belarus. In all specimens of C. leucodon, the sutures form subulate invaginations of a depth of ca. 1.0–1.5 mm. Specimens of C. suaveolens do not have such invaginations.

Surveillance of Zoonotic Pathogens in Small Mammals Across Forests With Different Levels of Anthropization in Eastern France. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
The emergence of infectious diseases associated with land‐use changes is well‐documented. However, the presence and dynamics of zoonotic pathogens in small mammals within European forests, whether from rural development or urban greening, remain underexplored.

Mitogenome Characterization and Phylogenetic Insights Into Blind Mole Rats, <i>Nannospalax nehringi,</i> and <i>N. turcicus</i>, From Türkiye. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study presents the complete mitochondrial genomes of Nannospalax nehringi and N. turcicus from Türkiye and evaluates their phylogenetic relationships within Spalacidae. Both genomes exhibited conserved structure, and phylogenetic analyses using ML and BI approaches supported subfamily monophyly and a well‐supported clade for the two species ...

Is cranial anatomy indicative of fossoriality? A case study of the mammaliaform Hadrocodium wui. [PDF]

Anat Rec (Hoboken)
Abstract Determining the ecology of fossil species presents considerable challenges due to the often fragmentary preservation of specimens. The mammaliaform Hadrocodium wui from the Jurassic of China is known only from the cranium and mandible but may have had a fossorial lifestyle.

Assessing Surveillance of Wildlife Diseases by Determining Mammal Species Vulnerability to Climate Change

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Climate change is one of the drivers of wildlife‐borne disease emergence, as it can affect species abundance and fitness, host immunocompetence, and interactions with pathogens. To detect emerging wildlife‐borne diseases, countries may implement general wildlife‐disease surveillance systems. Such surveillance exists in the Netherlands.

Rustrela virus infection – An emerging neuropathogen of red‐necked wallabies (Macropus rufogriseus)

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 6, Page 4016-4021, November 2022., 2022
Summary The rustrela virus (RusV) was recently described as a novel pathogen in a circumscribed area of northern Germany close to the Baltic Sea. Up to now, the virus has been detected in cases of fatal non‐suppurative meningoencephalitis in zoo animals of different species and a single wild carnivore as well as in apparently healthy yellow‐necked ...

New World camelids are sentinels for the presence of Borna disease virus

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 2, Page 451-464, March 2022., 2022
Abstract Borna disease (BD), a frequently fatal neurologic disorder caused by Borna disease virus 1 (BoDV‐1), has been observed for decades in horses, sheep, and other mammals in certain regions of Europe. The bicoloured white‐toothed shrew (Crocidura leucodon) was identified as a persistently infected species involved in virus transmission.

Assessing the occurrence of the novel zoonotic variegated squirrel bornavirus 1 in captive squirrels in Germany —A prevalence study

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 68, Issue 2, Page 110-120, March 2021., 2021
Abstract The newly described zoonotic variegated squirrel bornavirus 1 (VSBV‐1) in German squirrel holdings has been associated with the death of three private owners and one zoo animal caretaker (confirmed cases). Epidemiological investigations were severely impeded by the general lack of data on holdings of the putative reservoir hosts, the family ...
