Citizen science project on urban canids provides different results from camera traps but generates interest and revenue

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
As urbanization increases, wildlife increasingly encounters people. Coyotes Canis latrans and red foxes Vulpes vulpes are two canid species that have readily adapted to urban environments. Citizen science has emerged as a low‐cost method of collecting data on urban‐adapted species that can benefit management agencies but may provide different results ...

Land use gradients drive spatial variation in Lassa fever host communities in the Eastern Province of Sierra Leone

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
As West Africa urbanises, the risk of Lassa fever may paradoxically decrease. We found the invasive house mouse, a dominant urban species, outcompetes and displaces the primary Lassa virus host. Considering these species interactions is critical for accurately predicting future zoonotic disease patterns.

Genetics ofBorrelia burgdorferi [PDF]

Annual Review of Genetics, 2012
The spirochetes in the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato genospecies group cycle in nature between tick vectors and vertebrate hosts. The current assemblage of B. burgdorferi sensu lato, of which three species cause Lyme disease in humans, originated from a rapid species radiation that occurred near the origin of the clade.

Fatal spinal cord compression in a horse with chronic actinobacterial cranial nuchal bursitis

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary A 14‐year‐old warmblood gelding was managed for waxing and waning cranial nuchal bursitis for 2 years. Intensive medical and surgical management was not curative, and the patient was subjected to euthanasia after becoming acutely recumbent. Ante‐mortem and post‐mortem next generation sequencing of bursal tissue and post‐mortem conventional PCR ...

Correlation property of length sequences based on global structure of complete genome [PDF]

, 2000
This paper considers three kinds of length sequences of the complete genome. Detrended fluctuation analysis, spectral analysis, and the mean distance spanned within time $L$ are used to discuss the correlation property of these sequences.

Characterization ofBorrelia burgdorferiAggregates [PDF]

Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 2009
Lyme disease is caused by the tick-borne spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi. It has been documented that B. burgdorferi form aggregates within ticks and during in vitro culture. However, Borrelia aggregates remain poorly characterized, and their functional significance is unknown.
