We investigated the reservoir role of European wild rodents for Anaplasma phagocytophila
using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of blood collected from individually tagged …

Invasions can impact on parasite communities through both the introduction of exotic
parasite species and effects of invading hosts on native parasite dynamics. However, our …

Although the importance of rodents as reservoirs for a number of tick-borne infections is well
established, comparatively little is known about the potential role of shrews, despite them …

The transmission dynamics of the cowpox virus infection have been quantified in two mixed
populations of bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus) and wood mice (Apodemus sylvaticus), …

Bartonella species are increasingly associated with a range of human and animal diseases.
Despite this, we have a poor understanding of the ecology and epidemiology of many …

The emerging tick-borne pathogen Anaplasma phagocytophilum is under increasing scrutiny
for the existence of subpopulations that are adapted to different natural cycles. Here, we …

To the Editor: Tick-borne relapsing fevers caused by members of the genus Borrelia have
been encountered throughout Africa, Asia, the Americas and, rarely, in southern Europe (1). …

Anaplasma phagocytophilum is a widely distributed tick-borne pathogen of humans, livestock,

Infections by the ixodid tick-transmitted bacterial pathogen Anaplasma phagocytophilum are
common in domestic ruminants and cervids in the coastal areas of southern Norway. …

1. The effect of cowpox virus on survival in two rodent hosts was investigated using nearly 4
years of longitudinal data from two sites. 2. We investigated whether an individual's …
