Detection dog survey detects African wild dog presence and a shared marking site
Ecology and EvolutionAfrican wild dog (Lycaon pictus) populations are difficult to assess effectively and scalable strategies for population monitoring are lacking, often because of low detection rates. Scat detection dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) have emerged as a suitable tool to detect the presence of wide-ranging carnivores.

Detection of Antibodies to Erysipelothrix in Stray Dogs in Japan [PDF]
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2005 Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae is considered as a pathogenic bacterium for many species of animals. The genus Erysipelothrix had been thought to contain a single strain. However, on the basis of genetic homology, the genus Erysipelothrix was found to constitute different strains, E. rhusiopathiae and a new strain, E. tonsillarum [9]. E.
