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