Stress response of brown pelican nestlings to ectoparasite infestation

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2010
Measurement of corticosterone has become a useful tool for assessing the response of individuals to ecological stressors of interest. Enhanced corticosterone levels can promote survival of stressful events; however, in situations where a stressor persists and corticosterone levels remain elevated, the adrenocortical response can be detrimental.

Zoonotic Ectoparasites Infesting Commensal Invasive Murid Rodents

Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases
Rodents are associated with the spread of deadly zoonotic and emerging infectious diseases. Their widespread distribution is strongly linked to their ability to thrive in human-altered environments with access to food and shelter. Thus, humans are exposed to zoonotic agents that can spread and infect them directly and indirectly.
