Researchers will validate molecular techniques for quicker, more practical and more sensitive diagnosis of tuberculosis in elephants.

The aim of this study is to determine whether distributing the oral sylvatic plague vaccine to prairie dogs has protective and other effects on small rodents that live in and around prairie dog colonies.

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 test the susceptibility of the most endangered frog in North America to the emerging pathogen ranavirus.

This study investigates novel, targeted therapies for the treatment of feline Tritrichomonas foetus infection.

This study aims to identify broad-spectrum antiviral drugs with potential treating for feline infectious peritonitis and virulent, systemic feline calicivirus infection in cats.

This study will sequence the entire genome of a bovine strain and a feline strain of Tritrichomonas foetus to determine whether these are distinct species and to help develop more effective therapies.
