| molecular evolution of puumala hantavirus in fennoscandia: phylogenetic analysis of strains from two recolonization routes, karelia and denmark. | like other members of the genus hantavirus: in the family bunyaviridae:, puumala virus (puuv) is thought to be co-evolving with its natural host, the bank vole clethrionomys glareolus. to gain insight into the evolutionary history of puuv in northern europe during the last post-glacial period, we have studied wild-type puuv strains originating from areas along two postulated immigration routes of bank voles to fennoscandia. full-length sequences of the s rna segment and partial sequences (nt 216 ... | 2000 | 11086113 |
| [helminth fauna of the bank vole myodes glareolus (schreber, 1780) in the kizhi archipelago]. | the present study was aimed to examine the specific features of the helminth fauna in insular populations of the bank vole (myodes glareolus) in the north of the species range. the material was collected in and nearby the kizhi archipelago (lake onega, 62°1' n 35°12' e) during august 1997, 2005-2007, 2012 and 2013. small mammals were trapped on 23 islands (varying from 2 to 15,000 ha) and on the mainland. helminthological met- hods were applied to examine 301 specimens of m glareolus. fourteen h ... | 2015 | 26016335 |
