Cowpox virus infection in natural field vole Microtus agrestis populations: delayed density dependence and individual risk
26 Sept 2006
Abstract excerpt
1. Little is known about the dynamics of pathogen (microparasite) infection in wildlife populations, and less still about sources of variation in the risk of infection. Here we present the first detailed analysis of such variation. 2. Cowpox virus is an endemic sublethal pathogen circulating in populations of wild rodents. Cowpox prevalence was monitored longitudinally for 2 years, in populations of field voles...
