Researchers will look at causes and potential remedies for spindly leg syndrome, a common developmental disorder associated with captive rearing of amphibians.

Researchers will analyze multiple data sources to learn if lead continues to impact the long-term health and recovery of bald eagles.

Researchers will investigate a second contagious cancer in Tasmanian devils.

Researchers will establish tissue culture lines of captive and free-ranging wildlife to improve disease diagnostics, comparative biology studies and species conservation.

Researchers will investigate factors impacting the reproduction and recovery of remnant colonies of little brown bats nearly wiped out by white-nose syndrome, an emerging fungal disease.

Researchers will investigate a new laboratory test to improve diagnosis of equine metabolic syndrome, a metabolic and hormonal disorder in horses.

Researchers will investigate how Staphylococcus pseudintermedius, a common cause of bacterial skin and postoperative infections in dogs, forms groups of bacteria that stick to surfaces, such as catheters and orthopedic metal implants, making infections difficult to treat.

By studying how platelets and bacteria interact when dogs with serious infections develop blood poisoning, the research fellow will gain information that will improve treatment.

Researchers will investigate the effectiveness of the drug misoprostol in treating inflammation in horses.

Researchers will build a new reference genome sequence for the domestic horse, which will provide an important tool for mapping genes that cause equine diseases.
