Sexual maturation in common vole (Microtus arvalis) males raised under laboratory conditions.

A refined method for craniometrical identification of the sibling vole species Microtus arvalis and Microtus rossiaemeridionalis in Europe and the Asiatic part of Turkey

On the basis of karyologically identified individuals of the common vole Microtus arvalis and the sibling vole Microtus rossiaemeridionalis from Europe and the Asiatic part of Turkey, a canonical craniometric classification function for the differentiation of these sibling species was worked out. The function is sex-independent and includes four craniometric parameters measured in millimeters (...

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells of Microtus levis x Microtus arvalis Vole Hybrids: Conditions Necessary for Their Generation and Self-Renewal.

Every year, the list of mammalian species for which cultures of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) are generated increases. PSCs are a unique tool for extending the limits of experimental studies and modeling different biological processes. In this work, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from the hybrids of common voles Microtus levis and Microtus arvalis, which are used as model objects to stu...

Eight Whole-Genome Assemblies of Yersinia pestis subsp. microtus bv. caucasica Isolated from the Common Vole (Microtus arvalis) Plague Focus in Dagestan, Russia

We here report the draft genome sequences of 8 Yersinia pestis subsp. microtus bv. caucasica strains isolated from the East Caucasian (previous name, Dagestan) mountain focus (no. 39), representing the most ancient branch of the 0.PE2 phylogroup circulating in populations of common voles (Microtus arvalis).

USE OF CHLOROPHACINONE IN THE STRUGGLE AGAINST THE COMMON VOLE (Microtus arvalis Pallas) AND AGAINST THE MUSKRAT Ondatra zibethica L.)

Studies on helminth parasites of the small field mouse (Apodemus microps) and the common vole (Microtus arvalis) from a pine forest in Hungary

The helminth fauna of the small field mouse (Apodemus microps Kratochvil and Rosicky, 1952) and the common vole (Microtus arvalis Pallas, 1778) was studied in a pine forest at Babat (County Pest). A total of 9 parasitic helminths were recovered from the small field mouse, which is reported for the first time as a new host of Anoplocephaloides dentata, Hymenolepis fraterna, Hymenolepis diminuta ...
