validation of the puumala virus rapid field test for bank voles in germany.puumala virus (puuv) causes many human infections in large parts of europe and can lead to mild to moderate disease. the bank vole (myodes glareolus) is the only reservoir of puuv in central europe. a commercial puuv rapid field test for rodents was validated for bank-vole blood samples collected in two puuv-endemic regions in germany (north rhine-westphalia and baden-württemberg). a comparison of the results of the rapid field test and standard elisas indicated a test efficacy of 93-95%, largel ...201727806736
parasite fauna of the bank vole (clethrionomys glareolus) in an urban region of germany: reservoir host of zoonotic metazoan parasites?in the present study, 29 bank voles (clethrionomys glareolus) were studied for their endo- and ectoparasite fauna. the rodents were trapped in dormagen, a city in north rhine-westphalia, germany. a total of ten different parasite species were identified: four endoparasite (four nematoda) and six ectoparasite (three insecta, three arachnida) species. the predominant endoparasite was the nematode aonchotheca murissylvatici, followed by the nematode heligmosomum costellatum, while the flea ctenopht ...200717849150
