Salmonellosis detection and evidence of antibiotic resistance in an urban raccoon population in a highly populated area, Costa Rica

Zoonoses and Public Health, 2019
Wild animals are involved in zoonotic disease transmission cycles. These are generally complex and poorly understood, especially among animals adapted to life in human ecosystems.

Flooding and a complex predator community drive American oystercatcher nest and chick survival in Virginia

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 2, February 2026.
We investigated low American oystercatcher (Haematopus palliatus) productivity in the Virginia barrier islands, which historically supported high oystercatcher reproductive success. We found that chick survival was lower than nest survival, and that management may need to adapt to address evolving threats from coastal flooding and a multi‐guild ...

Influence of Forest Structure and Composition on Summer Habitat Use of Wildlife in an Upland Hardwood Forest

Diversity, 2019
Oak-hickory (Quercus-Carya spp.) forest types are widespread across the midwestern United States, but changes in forest disturbance regimes are resulting in little to no oak recruitment and a compositional shift to shade-tolerant, mesophytic species ...

Unveiling Vertebrate Biodiversity in Arid and Semi‐Arid Terrestrial Ecosystems Through eDNA Metabarcoding at Savanna Waterholes

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Applying environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding to samples from waterholes and their surroundings offers a promising approach for monitoring terrestrial vertebrates in semi‐arid and arid ecosystems, such as the southern African savannas. However, minimal guidance exists on key sampling design parameters for terrestrial ecosystems, which can ...

Processes Underlying Rabies Virus Incursions across US–Canada Border as Revealed by Whole-Genome Phylogeography

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017
Disease control programs aim to constrain and reduce the spread of infection. Human disease interventions such as wildlife vaccination play a major role in determining the limits of a pathogen’s spatial distribution.

Innate immune responses in raccoons after raccoon rabies virus infection

Journal of General Virology, 2014
Zoonotic wildlife diseases pose significant health risks not only to their primary vectors but also to humans and domestic animals. Rabies is a lethal encephalitis caused by rabies virus (RV). This RNA virus can infect a range of terrestrial mammals but each viral variant persists in a particular reservoir host.
