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.

Prevention of vole damage in organic pomiculture [PDF]
, 2004 Vole damage is one of the most difficult phytosanitary problems to solve in organic pomiculture. A survey conducted in 2002 among German fruit growers showed that 90 % of the farms suffered from this damage. The water vole (A.

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.Objective Quaking‐induced conversion (QuIC) tests, which detect prion‐seeding activity in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), have markedly advanced the antemortem diagnosis of prion diseases such as Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease (CJD). These tests provide high diagnostic accuracy and enable timely differentiation from other rapidly progressive neurodegenerative ...

No evidence for a trade-off between reproductive investment and immunity in a rodent. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Life history theory assumes there are trade-offs between competing functions such as reproduction and immunity. Although well studied in birds, studies of the trade-offs between reproduction and immunity in small mammals are scarce.
