Predicting Mammal Species Suitable for Chagas Disease Spread Using a Machine‐Learning Framework
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Chagas disease is maintained in wildlife by Trypanosoma cruzi cycling among many mammal species, but we still do not know the full range of potential hosts. Using machine learning and ecological/behavioral traits, we found that kissing bugs overlap with 573 mammal species and tend to feed on mammals that are den‐dwelling, medium‐to‐large in size, and ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Periodically driven systems are ubiquitous in nature, and their stability against perturbations such as the introduction of a novel pathogens or invasive species is often a major concern. To better understand and control these systems, it is common to assess the sensitivity to changes in the model parameters of stability threshold quantities ...

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Ticks are obligate ectoparasites that blood‐feed on a variety of vertebrate hosts including rodents such as deer mice, Peromyscus maniculatus bairdii. Female blacklegged ticks, Ixodes scapularis—but not female lone star ticks, Amblyomma americanum, or American dog ticks, Dermacentor variabilis—were attracted to urine‐ and feces‐soiled bedding of male ...

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.Summary Background Adipose tissue‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (AT‐MSCs) are entering the market of orthobiologics suitable for managing musculoskeletal disorders in horses, due to their accessibility and reparative capacity. Ethical considerations in developing allogeneic products require a low‐morbidity approach to tissue harvest.
