Sentinel Animals in a One Health Approach to Harmful Cyanobacterial and Algal Blooms
People, domestic animals, and wildlife are all exposed to numerous environmental threats, including harmful algal blooms (HABs). However, because animals exhibit wide variations in diet, land use and biology, they are often more frequently or heavily ...
