Impacts of rodents in piggeries in Australia – review and pilot impact study

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Rodent impacts in Australian piggeries are under‐researched, with limited data on economic losses and control costs. A review and pilot study found average losses of AUD$100 000 annually. Key concerns include disease, damage, and control expenses.

Ecological characterization of fleas on small mammals in natural and disturbed landscapes in the Atlantic Forest ecoregion, Argentina [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
To understand the ecoepidemiology of fleas and their interactions with domestic and wild animals, it is necessary to decode the cycles of flea abundance in relation to host species and environmental factors.

Spatial epidemiological patterns suggest mechanisms of land-sea transmission for Sarcocystis neurona in a coastal marine mammal. [PDF]

, 2020
Sarcocystis neurona was recognised as an important cause of mortality in southern sea otters (Enhydra lutris nereis) after an outbreak in April 2004 and has since been detected in many marine mammal species in the Northeast Pacific Ocean.

Inferring camera trap detection zones for rare species using species‐ and camera‐specific traits: a meta‐level analysis

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Camera trap detection zones are critical for estimating wildlife population sizes, but data scarcity hampers accurate measurement. Through a meta‐level analysis and modeling approach, we show that biological, environmental and camera trap traits can reliably predict detection zones, and that fewer than 25 detection events can yield <15% error when ...

Detection of Leptospira in cane toads (Rhinella jimi) from urban and rural Paraíba, Brazil

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Leptospirosis is a significant zoonosis in tropical regions, where poor sanitation and favourable climate aid its spread. Synanthropic animals such as the cane toad (Rhinella jimi), which share environments with both people and wild and domestic animals, may harbour Leptospira and contribute to urban and rural transmission cycles ...
