Sores of boreal moose reveal a previously unknown genetic lineage of parasitic nematode within the genus Onchocerca

PLoS ONE, 2023
Long-standing reports of open sores on the hind legs of moose (Alces alces) have been recorded in Alaska (as well as Canada, Europe, and Michigan), eliciting concerns about causes and infection. We used histological and genomic methods to investigate the

High prevalence of hepatitis e virus in Swedish moose--a phylogenetic characterization and comparison of the virus from different regions. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infects a range of species, including humans, pigs, wild boars and deer. Zoonotic transmission may contribute to the high HEV seroprevalence in the human population of many countries. A novel divergent HEV from moose (Alces alces)

Vaginal implant transmitters for continuous body temperature measurement in moose

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2018
Measuring body temperature in free‐ranging ungulates is challenging. We evaluated a vaginal implant transmitter (TVIT) modified to collect continuous body temperature of captive and wild female moose (Alces alces) in Alaska, USA.

What does the fox select? Spatial ecology of Rocky Mountain red fox during peaks and troughs of human recreation

Ecosphere
Understanding animal behavior at the population level can be challenging, especially in the presence of intraspecific variation in behavioral tactics. Individuals within a population often vary with respect to resource exploitation and use, which may be ...

Molecular identification of Trypanosoma theileri complex in Eurasian moose Alces alces (L.)

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2022
Although the significance of red deer (Cervus elaphus) and roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) as hosts and their role in the circulation of vector-borne pathogens in Europe is well described, the trypanosomes of moose (Alces alces) are poorly known.
