Heterospecific competitors and seasonality can affect host physiology and behavior: key factors in disease transmission

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
Ecological and environmental factors can influence the transmission of infectious diseases. They can accomplish this via effects on host susceptibility and exposure to infection, which are governed by host physiology and behavior, respectively. To better

How much effort is required to accurately describe the complex ecology of a rodent‐borne viral disease?

open access: yesEcosphere, 2016
We use data collected on 18, 1‐ha live trapping grids monitored from 1994 through 2005 and on five of those grids through 2013 in the mesic northwestern United States to illustrate the complexity of the deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus)/Sin Nombre ...

PrPCWD lymphoid cell targets in early and advanced chronic wasting disease of mule deer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Up to 15% of free-ranging mule deer in northeastern Colorado and southeastern Wyoming, USA, are afflicted with a prion disease, or transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE), known as chronic wasting disease (CWD).
