Researchers will use genetic analyses to examine the relationships among rodents, fleas and plague bacteria as a way to further characterize how plague is perpetuated in wild animal reservoirs in the United States. Data generated by this study will be used to direct targeted management strategies of affected wild animal populations.
Researchers will assess delivery methods for the vaccination of free-ranging bats using recombinant poxviral vectors.
This study, based at Kruger National Park, South Africa, will contribute critical information to understanding and limiting spillover-risk of foot-and-mouth disease from wild African buffalo to livestock in adjacent rural areas.
This study investigates how exposure to waterborne environmental pollutants in amphibians affects the development of protective immune defenses against a viral pathogen.
This study is working to identify and develop noninvasive diagnostic markers for bovine tuberculosis surveillance in deer.
Researchers will determine if mortality of Scottish newts caused by a parasitic infection will lead to the decline of newt populations on the Isle of Rum.
Researchers will investigate the role that koala retrovirus plays in causing common koala cancers.
