Prospective fecal microbiomic biomarkers for chronic wasting disease

Microbiology Spectrum
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a naturally occurring prion disease in cervids that has been rapidly proliferating in the United States. Here, we investigated a potential link between CWD infection and gut microbiome by analyzing 50 fecal samples ...

A Delphi Consensus on Clinical Features, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps in the ASEAN Region

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) impacts patients' concentration, ability to work, and overall quality of life. Current treatment options include topical and oral medications, and surgery. Recent evidence supports the efficacy of biologics in improving symptoms and quality of life.

Amount and diversity of coarse woody debris within a boreal forest landscape dominated by Pinus sylvestris in Vienansalo wilderness, eastern Fennoscandia

Silva Fennica, 2002
The amount, variability, quality and spatial pattern of coarse woody debris (CWD) on mineral soil sites was studied within a natural Pinus sylvestris L. dominated boreal forest landscape in Russian Viena Karelia. Data on the total CWD was collected on

Estimating red deer Cervus elaphus population density using drones in a steep and rugged terrain

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Precise and accurate information about population density, crucial for wildlife management, is difficult to obtain for elusive species living in dense forests or steep and inaccessible terrain. Using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), we developed a method for obtaining absolute population estimates of ungulates living in steep, rugged, and partly ...

Perceived Risks and Agency Trust Associated With Chronic Wasting Disease Over Time 慢性消耗性疾病相关感知风险与机构信任的时序变化研究

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
We examined changes in perceived risks associated with chronic wasting disease (CWD) and perceived trust in wildlife agencies over time across 10 studies in eight states. Results indicated that perceived risks to both deer and humans declined the longer the disease had been in a state. Results also indicated that agency trust evaluations were positive,

Characteristics of coarse woody debris in successional stages of natural beech (Fagus orientalis) forests of Northern Iran

Journal of Forest Science, 2010
Coarse woody debris (CWD) is an important structural and functional component in forests in Northern Iran. In this study we determine the temporal patterns of CWD in Kheyroud Forests by examining the CWD volume in different decay classes and size classes

Modelling the disappearance of coarse woody debris, following a land clearing event

Carbon Balance and Management, 2021
Background Land clearing generates coarse woody debris (CWD), much of which ultimately becomes atmospheric CO2. Schemes for greenhouse gas accounting must consider the contribution from land clearing, but the timing of the contribution will have large ...

Wild pigs (Sus scrofa) prefer inoculated peanuts over whole‐kernel corn in cafeteria‐style study

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
In this study, we explored bait preference of wild pigs (Sus scrofa), a highly invasive species where primary removal efforts include the use of bait and corral‐style trapping. In addition, we investigated preferences of a common nontarget to identify a bait that is preferred by wild pigs and not by white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus).

Assessing Different Chronic Wasting Disease Training Aids for Use with Detection Dogs

Animals
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a highly infectious, fatal prion disease that affects cervid species. One promising method for CWD surveillance is the use of detection dog–handler teams wherein dogs are trained on the volatile organic compound signature
