Researchers will investigate the dynamics of hookworm infections causing high mortality in South American fur seal pups living on Guafo Island off the coast of southern Chile.

Researchers will investigate whether viral mutations associated with feline infectious peritonitis are valuable and effective diagnostic targets.

Researchers will investigate a vaccine strategy against feline enteric coronavirus, a common, nonlethal virus that can mutate into feline infectious peritonitis virus.

Researchers will investigate genetic changes that occur in the feline enteric coronavirus that contribute to the development of feline infectious peritonitis, an incurable and fatal disease in cats.

Researchers will conduct a clinical trial to investigate the effectiveness of a novel antiviral drug in client-owned cats with naturally occurring feline infectious peritonitis as well as drug resistance that may occur during treatment.

Researchers will investigate if amoeba (single-celled animals) living in soils in endemic plague areas can serve as reservoir hosts for Yersinia pestis (the causative agent for bubonic plague) and if amoeba are involved in plague disease cycles.

Researchers will identify parasitic fungi preying on Madagascar's amphibian populations, including where the fungi occur on the island and which amphibian species are more susceptible to fungal disease outbreaks.
