Predicting disease spread from host movement data: Chronic wasting disease in North America as a case study

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This paper estimates the rate of chronic wasting disease spread in multiple regions and compares these rates with model predictions based on deer movement data. Abstract Rare long‐distance movements can increase the spatial spread of invasive species and shifts in species ranges. For wildlife disease spread, however, seasonal migrations may only matter

Managing type 1 diabetes during sustained physical activity at a diabetes camp: An adaptive prandial bolus reduction algorithm for children using automated insulin delivery

Diabetic Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Managing diabetes during exercise remains challenging, particularly in settings of sustained physical activity such as diabetes‐camps. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a diabetes‐camp protocol including an adaptive algorithm for prandial bolus reduction and the use of automated insulin delivery (AID) exercise modes ...

Coarse Woody Debris Increases Microbial Community Functional Diversity but not Enzyme Activities in Reclaimed Oil Sands Soils. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Forest floor mineral soil mix (FMM) and peat mineral soil mix (PMM) are cover soils commonly used for upland reclamation post open-pit oil sands mining in northern Alberta, Canada.

A First Indication That Rainforest Vine Proliferation Does Not Enhance Predator–Prey Interactions on the Forest Floor

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Vine proliferation is a widespread consequence of tropical forest disturbance, yet its effects on ground‐level predator–prey interactions remain poorly understood. Using plasticine caterpillars deployed on the rainforest floor in north Queensland, Australia, we show that overall predation rates were unaffected by vine‐to‐tree ratio. Instead, fine‐scale

Modeled Impacts of Chronic Wasting Disease on White-Tailed Deer in a Semi-Arid Environment. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
White-tailed deer are a culturally and economically important game species in North America, especially in South Texas. The recent discovery of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in captive deer facilities in Texas has increased concern about the potential ...

Influence of Tapered‐End and Round‐End Bristle Designs on the Abrasive Enamel Wear Using Toothpastes With High Discrepancies in Abrasiveness

International Journal of Dental Hygiene, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the influence of bristle end design of toothbrushes and the relative enamel abrasivity (REA) of used toothpaste on the resulting abrasive enamel wear. Materials and Methods A total of 160 bovine enamel samples were allocated into eight groups (n = 20) and surface topography was recorded

Interventions to Improve Clinician Implementation of and Patient Adherence to Recommendations on Geriatric Assessment and Management: A Scoping Review

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, EarlyView.
In this scoping review we identified 6 interventions that examined how to improve clinician and patient adherence to geriatric assessment recommendations and adherence depends on perceived relevance of the recommendations and patient‐provider relationships.

Maximum water stress is decoupled from climate, traits, and growth in a xeric oak

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 5, Page 2392-2406, September 2026.
We sampled sites across the geographic distribution of blue oak (Quercus douglasii) in California, USA, which spans a large range of mean annual precipitation. Summary Our ability to explain and predict the spatial patterns of forest mortality remains limited.

Susceptibilities of Nonhuman Primates to Chronic Wasting Disease

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy, or prion disease, that affects deer, elk, and moose. Human susceptibility to CWD remains unproven despite likely exposure to CWD-infected cervids.

Long-Term Incubation PrP^CWD with Soils Affects Prion Recovery but Not Infectivity

Pathogens, 2020
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a contagious prion disease of cervids. The infectious agent is shed from animals at the preclinical and clinical stages of disease where it persists in the environment as a reservoir of CWD infectivity.
