Validation of a molecular workflow for Cochliomyia hominivorax (New World screwworm) identification in field samples

Scientific Reports
Infestations of Cochliomyia hominivorax, the New World Screwworm (NWS), has become a reemerging veterinary concern in the United States due to the recent northward expansion of fly detections as far as northern Mexico.

Animals Exposed to Leptospira Serogroups Not Included in Bacterins in the United States and Puerto Rico

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2023
Leptospirosis is a worldwide zoonotic disease. Pathogenic leptospires colonize the renal tubules and genital tract of animals and are excreted via urine. Transmission occurs via direct contact or through contaminated water or soil.

Distinct responses of species structural roles in multi‐trophic interactions to island area and isolation

Ecography, EarlyView.
Habitat loss and fragmentation reshape ecological communities and alter species interactions. However, it remains largely unknown how the roles that species play within interaction networks vary across local communities and trophic contexts in fragmented landscapes. We addressed this question using a plant–aphid–ant system sampled across 18 land‐bridge

The applicability of species sensitivity distributions to the development of generic doses for phytosanitary irradiation

Scientific Reports, 2023
Ionizing radiation is used as a phytosanitary treatment to prevent the introduction of pests through trade. Generic doses are a valuable means to increase the number of pest-commodity combinations that can be treated using phytosanitary irradiation ...

Beyond a dual role: how Purpureocillium lilacinum reprograms citrus metabolism for integrated biocontrol and growth promotion

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Plants harbor complex microbial communities that are fundamental to their health and productivity. Among them, endophytic fungi such as Purpureocillium lilacinum establish mutualistic associations, offering dual benefits as plant growth promoters and biocontrol agents.

Evaluation of Physical Barriers to Prevent Prairie Dog Colony Expansion

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
Expansion of black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) colonies on public and private lands can result in damage to property. Physical barriers to prairie dogs can be used to minimize human–wildlife conflicts.

Evaluation of the marking duration of iophenoxic acid (IPA) derivatives in raccoons (Procyon lotor)

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We evaluated the marking duration and intensity of iophenoxic acid (IPA) analogues in raccoon (Procyon lotor) serum following consumption of test doses encapsulated in a marshmallow or formulated into an oral rabies vaccine bait matrix. The IPA biomarkers demonstrated utility for evaluation of oral rabies vaccination baiting strategies targeting ...

Evaluation of Rhodamine B as a Biomarker for Raccoons

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
The USDA/APHIS/Wildlife Services (WS) oral rabies vaccination program uses tetracycline, a broad-spectrum antibiotic and relatively reliable biomarker, to quantify vaccinebait uptake by raccoons (Procyon lotor).
