Using Remotely Sensed Data To Identify Areas at Risk for Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2000
The 1993 U.S. hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) outbreak was attributed to environmental conditions and increased rodent populations caused by unusual weather in 1991-92. In a case-control study to test this hypothesis, we estimated precipitation at 28

Humans and animal welfare in the Adventures of the Mouse-deer: an ecological discourse analysis

Cogent Arts & Humanities
The mouse-deer is a popular trickster character in Indonesian and Malaysian children’s folktales. The species was ubiquitous in Southeast Asia, but human activities have led to biodiversity loss and a decline of the mouse-deer. Popular discourses such as

A Focus of Deer Tick Virus Transmission in the Northcentral United States

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 1999
We screened salivary glands from adult deer ticks collected near Spooner and Hayward, Wisconsin, to determine whether deer tick virus, a recently described flavivirus, occurs with other tickborne agents in the upper Midwest.

Crystal structure of rhodopsin bound to arrestin by femtosecond X-ray laser. [PDF]

, 2015
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) signal primarily through G proteins or arrestins. Arrestin binding to GPCRs blocks G protein interaction and redirects signalling to numerous G-protein-independent pathways.

The extremely small body size of Williamson’s mouse deer (Tragulus williamsoni) allows coexistence with sympatric larger ungulates through temporal avoidance

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Research on the coexistence of congeneric species is essential for understanding community assemblages. Smaller competitors are expected to avoid larger ones, either spatially or temporally, to reduce interspecific competition.

Indirect effects between deer, mice, and the gypsy moth in a forest community [PDF]

, 2014
White-tailed deer are ecosystem engineers that dramatically alter forest understory vegetation. Consequently, deer can impact many species in a forest through both direct and indirect effects. One species that deer may indirectly affect is the gypsy moth,

Effects of internal fluctuations on the spreading of Hantavirus

, 2004
We study the spread of Hantavirus over a host population of deer mice using a population dynamics model. We show that taking into account the internal fluctuations in the mouse population due to its discrete character strongly alters the behaviour of the
