This study shows that PUUV infection reduces survival of bank voles, especially young ones, in a natural setting, contradicting the expectation that reservoir hosts are unaffected.

This study shows that food supplementation reduces nematode abundance super-shedding in wild voles but not infection likelihood or intensity, and identifies age-related fitness impacts of nematode infection.

The paper shows density increases network connectedness in wild animal populations, but effects saturate, with stronger spatial than social impacts.

The paper examines how ecological factors modify the relationship between spatial overlap and hantavirus infection likelihood in wild bank voles.
