The Effect of Aluminum Exposure on Reproductive Ability in the Bank Vole (Myodes glareolus). [PDF]

Biol Trace Elem Res, 2017
Human impact on the environment is steadily increasing the amounts of aluminum in the ecosystems. This element accumulates in plants and water, potentially exposing herbivores to its harmful effect. In heavily polluted sites, a decrease in the density of small rodent populations has been observed.

Maintenance of genetic diversity in cyclic populations—a longitudinal analysis inMyodes glareolus [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2012
AbstractConspicuous cyclic changes in population density characterize many populations of small northern rodents. The extreme crashes in individual number are expected to reduce the amount of genetic variation within a population during the crash phases of the population cycle.

Environmental radiation alters the gut microbiome of the bank vole Myodes glareolus. [PDF]

ISME J, 2018
Abstract Gut microbiota composition depends on many factors, although the impact of environmental pollution is largely unknown. We used amplicon sequencing of bacterial 16S rRNA genes to quantify whether anthropogenic radionuclides at Chernobyl (Ukraine) impact the gut microbiome of the bank vole Myodes glareolus.

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.

Seroprevalence of Trichinella spp. infection in bank voles (Myodes glareolus) - A long term study. [PDF]

Int J Parasitol Parasites Wildl, 2019
Rodents play an important role as reservoir hosts of zoonotic diseases. As a component of our long-term programme of monitoring parasitic infections in bank vole populations in three ecologically similar sites in NE Poland, we screened blood samples for signs of a serological response to the presence of Trichinella spp.

Novel OBP genes similar to hamster Aphrodisin in the bank vole, Myodes glareolus [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2010
Background Chemical communication in mammals involves globular lipocalins that protect and transport pheromones during their passage out of the body.

Population sex-ratio affecting behavior and physiology of overwintering bank voles (Myodes glareolus) [PDF]

Physiology & Behavior, 2016
Many boreal rodents are territorial during the breeding season but during winter become social and aggregate for more energy efficient thermoregulation. Communal winter nesting and social interactions are considered to play an important role for the winter survival of these species, yet the topic is relatively little explored.

In Vivo Characterization of Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus in Bank Voles (Myodes glareolus). [PDF]

Viruses, 2019
Tick-borne encephalitis is the most important tick-transmitted zoonotic virus infection in Eurasia, causing severe neurological symptoms in humans. The causative agent, the tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), circulates between ticks and a variety of mammalian hosts. To study the interaction between TBEV and one of its suspected reservoir hosts, bank

Microhabitat partitioning of <em>Apodemus flavicollis</em> and <em>Myodes glareolus</em> in the sub-montane Alps: a preliminary assessment

Hystrix, the Italian Journal of Mammalogy, 2011
Interspecific competition can cause partitioning in habitat use by sympatric species. This study gives a preliminary contribution to the understanding of microhabitat partitioning of <em>Apodemus flavicollis</em> and <em>Myodes ...

The bank vole (Myodes glareolus) as a sensitive bioassay for sheep scrapie [PDF]

Journal of General Virology, 2008
Despite intensive studies on sheep scrapie, a number of questions remain unanswered, such as the natural mode of transmission and the amount of infectivity which accumulates in edible tissues at different stages of scrapie infection.
