seasonal and age distributions of babesia, hepatozoon, trypanosoma and grahamella species in clethrionomys glareolus and apodemus sylvaticus populations.	four common blood parasites belonging to the genera babesia, hepatozoon, trypanosoma and grahamella were detected in sympatric populations of clethrionomys glareolus and apodemus sylvaticus. seasonal changes in the abundance of hosts and parasites were monitored in a longitudinal field survey for 18 months. all parasites in both hosts showed similar seasonal patterns with most transmission occurring in summer and autumn and ceasing in winter. amongst aged subsets of each host population, hepatoz ...	1986	3537923
rodents as seed dispersers in a heath - oak wood succession.	in a danish heathland invasion of oak shrub has taken place, the succession rate being approximately 300 m during the last 100 years. the colonisation has occurred in steps related to the delay time between seedling stage and fertility stage. seedlings are often found in clusters originating from caches probably made by seed-eating rodents. apodemus sylvaticus, a. flavicollis and clethrionomys glareoles. these rodents reached autumn densities of 25-50 individuals per ha. radioactive acorns were ...	1986	28311660
changes in home range size during growth and maturation of the wood mouse (apodemus sylvaticus) and the bank vole (clethrionomys glareolus).	a field study was carried out during winter and spring of 1982/83 to determine changes in home range size with increasing body weight and maturation in the wood mouse (apodemus sylvaticus) and the bank vole (clethrionomys glareolus). individual home range sizes in males increased and in females decreased with increasing body weight. relating these changes to changed energetic requirements failed. in these species behavioral aspects seem to be a more important determinant of home range size than ...	1986	28311723
possible use of environmental gradients in orientation by homing wood mice, apodemus sylvaticus.	51 wood mice, apodemus sylvaticus, tagged with chemoluminescent bulbs, were visually tracked in a series of night homing experiments. the mice did not go straight towards home, but wandered around the release area and covered distances equal to twice the radial lengths recorded. in the course of their walk, they orientated preferentially towards landscapes which resembled their usual habitat, irrespective of where their actual homeward direction lay. in spite of the randomness of their paths, ho ...	1987	24925488
the harderian gland, its secretory duct and porphyrin content in the woodmouse (apodemus sylvaticus).	the harderian gland of the woodmouse (apodemus sylvaticus) consists of tubules lined by a single layer of epithelial cells with a surrounding layer of myoepithelial cells. the epithelium contains two cell types, one with numerous small, clear, lipid vacuoles (type i), the other with large electron-dense ones (type ii). each type is further subdivided into cells where the smooth endoplasmic reticulum exhibits pronounced vacuolation (ia and iia). the lipid vacuoles frequently coalesce and are rele ...	1987	3429316
developpement de la locomotion chez le mulot sylvestre (apodemus sylvaticus l.).	this longitudinal study describes the functional development of locomotion in the woodmouse, apodemus sylvaticus . it shows that postnatal day (pnd) 11 is a critical age in the acquisition of independence. locomotion develops in successive stages before reaching the adult pattern (walking) at pnd 11. intermediate patterns are determined by the degree of coordination between the different parts of the body. some of these patterns overlap and do not necessarily appear in every individual in our ex ...	1987	24897260
asymmetry in the hippocampal region specific for one of two closely related species of wild mice.	the volumes of the components of the left and right hippocampal regions were compared in male, adult specimens of the two closely related species of wild mice, apodemus flavicollis (yellow-necked wood mice) and apodemus sylvaticus (long-tailed wood mice). in one of the species, apodemus flavicollis, the component containing the deep layers of the subiculum was found to be significantly larger in the hippocampal region of the left side than it was in that of the right side. no other significant a ...	1987	3690355
avian predation upon a mixed community of common voles (microtus arvalis) and wood mice (apodemus sylvaticus).	pellets of diurnal avian predators (mainly kestrels and buzzards) were analysed to prove the hypothesis of selective predation for a mixed population of small rodents. it was found that voles heavily predominated as prey over mice (up to a factor of 19 during winter). within both prey species, predation focussed on distinct parts of the populations: during winter the heaviest specimens were preferentially captured, during summer the subadults were in an exposed position. in the voles, an additio ...	1988	28312695

laboratory studies with clones of eimeria hungaryensis, a parasite of the wood mouse apodemus sylvaticus.	doses from 1 to 10(5) sporulated oocysts of a cloned strain of eimeria hungaryensis were used to infect laboratory-reared, coccidia-free wood mice (apodemus sylvaticus). total oocyst production, reproductive indices (output/dose) and daily patterns of oocyst production were compared. at doses of 10(2) oocysts or less, observed yields exceeded expected yields calculated using details of endogenous stages. at doses above 10(2) oocysts, the converse occurred. from infections initiated with 10(2) oo ...	1988	3200603
hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (nephropathia epidemica) in norway: seroepidemiology 1981-1985.	an indirect fluorescent antibody technique (ifat) was applied to serologically confirm the clinical diagnosis in 507 nephropathia epidemica (ne) suspected patients. hantaan virus (hv), the agent of korean hemorrhagic fever, which is serologically related to the ne agent, was used as antigen. both igg and igm reactions were detected. high levels of igg antibodies to hv were common, even in the acute phase of illness. over a 5-year period, a total of 35% of the ne suspected patients revealed antib ...	1988	2900551
cyclic and non-cyclic dynamics in populations of the helminth parasites of wood mice, apodemus sylvaticus.	two populations of apodemus sylvaticus, one in deciduous woodland and another in coniferous forest in co. down, northern ireland, were trapped at monthly intervals over 33 months. the dynamics, reproduction and age structure of the mouse populations differed between years with over a 40 fold range of population size. nine species of helminths were recovered from the alimentary tract and associated organs of the mice. the prevalence and mean worm burden of the cestodes, catenotaenia lobata, hymen ...	1988	3372984
eimeria species infecting wood mice (genus apodemus) and the transfer of two species to mus musculus.	characteristics of four species of eimeria isolated from apodemus sylvaticus are described. from oocyst morphology, three are identified as e. apionodes, e. hungaryensis and e. uptoni, the fourth being unnamed. cloning demonstrated that oocysts of e. hungaryensis were polymorphic. previous literature relating to the taxonomy is discussed and discrepancies outlined. species isolated from a. sylvaticus were not transmissible to clethrionomys glareolus, but both e. hungaryensis and e. apionodes hav ...	1989	2528109
use of recombinant vaccinia-rabies glycoprotein virus for oral vaccination of wildlife against rabies: innocuity to several non-target bait consuming species.	the pathogenicity of a vaccinia recombinant virus expressing the rabies glycoprotein (vvtggrab) was tested in several wild animal species which could compete with the natural rabies host, the red fox (vulpes vulpes) in consuming vaccine baits in europe. the following species were included in this study: wild boar (sus scrofa), eurasian badger (meles meles), wood mouse (apodemus sylvaticus), yellow-necked mouse (apodemus flavicollis), bank vole (clethrionomys glareolus), common vole (microtus arv ...	1989	2681844
genetic divergence in mitochondrial dna between the wood mouse (apodemus sylvaticus) and the yellow necked mouse (a. flavicollis).	genetic variability and the relationships between clones of mitochondrial dna (mtdna) provide data which can be used to construct hypotheses about the biogeographical and postglacial colonization history of fennoscandian species. we have investigated fragment differences in mtdna among 24 wood mice (apodemus sylvaticus) from 8 localities, and 9 yellow necked mice (a. flavicollis) from four north european localities. the greatest intraspecific sequence divergence found between mtdna clones was 1. ...	1989	2793512
ovarian interstitial tissue of the wood mouse, apodemus sylvaticus.	the ovary of the wood mouse contains an unusually large amount of interstitial tissue which appears to develop from undifferentiated cells of the ovarian stroma and also by transformation of theca or granulosa cells of atretic follicles. the cells are characterized by the presence of smooth endoplasmic reticulum, rounded mitochondria with tubular cristae, and abundant, large (1.5 micron diameter) lipid droplets containing cholesterol and its esters. 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity o ...	1989	2915357
[harvest mites of the family trombiculidae in the steppe zone of the southeastern ukraine].	virgin and cultivated biotopes of the sea of azov area of donetsk province were investigated for parasite coenoses of small mammals. 469 animals and 210 nests were collected, apodemus sylvaticus, mus musculus, microtus arvalis and cricetulus migratorius being the most abundant species. in all 2940 larvae of trombiculids (18 species) were found on animals and in their nests (2846 specimens on animals and 94 specimens in nests). two species, hoffmannina theodori and doloisia skljari, are new for s ...	1989	2717200
spatial and temporal variation in the infracommunity structure of helminths of apodemus sylvaticus (rodentia: muridae).	mean species richness and diversity of the helminth infracommunity of apodemus sylvaticus in woodland areas of co. down, northern ireland, varied in time and space. variation in infracommunity structure among individual hosts, however, always accounted for more than 60% of the variation in the data from different places or different times. helminth species richness increased with increasing population density, the percentage of the host population 16 weeks old or older, and the proportion of the ...	1989	2717214
studies on cross-immunity in herpetosoma trypanosomes of microtus, clethrionomys and apodemus.	laboratory-bred rodents of three species were inoculated with heterologous herpetosoma trypanosome species as follows: microtus agrestis with trypanosoma evotomys or t. grosi, apodemus sylvaticus with t. evotomys or t. microti and clethrionomys glareolus with t. grosi or t. microti. the three rodent species were subsequently challenged with their natural trypanosome parasite, i.e. t. microti for m. agrestis, t. grosi for a. sylvaticus and t. evotomys for c. glareolus. the parasitaemias and cours ...	1989	2496408
structure, stability and species interactions in helminth communities of wood mice, apodemus sylvaticus.	the helminths of the alimentary tract of wood mice, apodemus sylvaticus, were studied at two sites over a 33-month period. nine helminth species were recovered regularly. all but one was absent for at least 1 month. monthly samples from these helminth communities were more similar to samples taken in the following month than to samples taken at progressively greater intervals up to a year. helminth communities at both sites, however, had cyclical elements. comparison of mean similarity indices f ...	1990	2332281
longitudinal study of natural foci of central european encephalitis virus in west slovakia.	a total of 2922 small terrestrial mammals of 12 species were collected in six localities of west slovakia between 1981 and 1986. when examined for the prevalence of neutralizing antibodies (na) to central european encephalitis (cee) virus we found that 14.6% had antibody. nearly all (97%) of the 426 animals with antibody were clethrionomys glareolus, the most abundant species (52.6% of mammals collected, 15.1% of those with antibody). apodemus flavicollis (22.5% of mammals collected, 18.1% of th ...	1990	1983180
