Common vole (Microtus arvalis) as a host for pathogens: a review
The common vole (Microtus arvalis) is a broadly distributed rodent species that can be found from central Spain to the western coast of Lake Baikal. It mainly inhabits open grassland habitat and crops, where it can cause damage, especially during outbreaks when population density can reach up to 3,0...
