Researchers have discovered that bank voles in southern Sweden (Skåne) carry a virus that can cause hemorrhagic fever in humans. This finding was made more than 500 km south of the previously known ...

We performed RT–PCR and PCR assays followed by agarose gel electrophoresis to verify the amplification of HBA-T3 cDNA and genomic DNA using the paralogue-specific primers. HBA-T1 cDNA served as a ...

Researchers have identified a new coronavirus. Their study of approximately 260 bank voles shows that the virus is well established in Sweden's red-backed voles. Researchers from the Zoonosis Science ...

Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, Vol. 74, No. 2 (February 2020), pp. 1-9 (9 pages) In the predator–prey arms race, survival-enhancing adaptive behaviors are essential. Prey can perceive predator ...

In a new Viruses study, researchers report the discovery of the Gimso virus, a novel betacoronavirus in a bank vole (Myodes glareolus) from Grimso, Sweden. These findings emphasize the importance of ...

A recent study shows the association between bank vole abundance variations and the incidence of Lyme Borreliosis and Puumala hantavirus infections. The study showed that the abundance variations of ...

This news article was a review of a preliminary scientific report that had not undergone peer-review at the time of publication. Since its initial publication, the scientific report has now been peer ...

Researchers from the Zoonosis Science Center at Uppsala University have identified a new coronavirus. Their study of approximately 260 bank voles caught around Grimsö, Örebro County, shows that the ...

It has been suggested that predators may protect human health through reducing disease-host densities or selectively preying on infected individuals from the population. However, this has not been ...
