DNA vaccines encoding the envelope protein of West Nile virus lineages 1 or 2 administered intramuscularly, via electroporation and with recombinant virus protein induce partial protection in large falcons (Falco spp.) [PDF]
As West Nile virus (WNV) can cause lethal diseases in raptors, a vaccination prophylaxis of free-living and captive populations is desirable. In the absence of vaccines approved for birds, equine vaccines have been used in falcons, but full protection ...

We used high‐precision diet estimates from nest cameras to estimate amino acid‐specific trophic discrimination factors (TDFs) for gyrfalcon nestlings and compared these against TDFs for other taxa from the literature. TDFs for trophic amino acids in gyrfalcon were lower than values that have typically been used to estimate trophic position.
