Tick-borne Encephalitis Virus in Wild Rodents in Winter, Finland, 2008–2009

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011
Rodents might maintain tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) in nature through latent persistent infections. During 2 subsequent winters, 2008 and 2009, in Finland, we detected RNA of European and Siberian subtypes of TBEV in Microtus agrestis and Myodes glareolus voles, respectively.

Intensity dependence of El Niño and La Niña evolution and mixed‐layer heat‐budget processes

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) intensity modulates the spatial, temporal, and dynamical evolution of events strongly. El Niño SST anomalies shift westward with decreasing intensity, while La Niña anomalies remain spatially fixed. Stronger events initiate earlier and persist longer than weak events.

Ensemble reliability and the signal‐to‐noise paradox in ECMWF subseasonal forecasts

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We derive a general expression for the ratio of predictable components (RPC) in terms of correlation, spread–error ratio, and total variance ratio. Physical constraints on the admissible solutions (i.e., real‐valued and non‐negative variances) provide a mechanism to identify statistically paradoxical sample combinations of reliability and correlation ...

The dynamics of questing ticks collected for 164 consecutive months off the vegetation of two landscape zones in the Kruger National Park (1988–2002). Part I. Total ticks, Amblyomma hebraeum and Rhipicephalus decoloratus

Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 2011
Despite a large number of studies on tick biology, there is limited information on long- term changes in tick populations. This study thus aimed to assess the long-term population dynamics of questing ixodid ticks in two landscape zones of the Kruger ...

Estimating the seroprevalence of Mycobacterium bovis infection in a wild deer population in southwest England

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background In England, transmission of Mycobacterium bovis between cattle and certain species of free‐roaming, wild deer has been implicated in some endemic bovine tuberculosis (bTB) regions. However, there are still data and knowledge gaps regarding the role of deer in the epidemiology of this disease.

RECRUITMENT OF WINTER TICKS (DERMACENTOR ALBIPICTUS) IN CONTRASTING FOREST HABITATS, ONTARIO, CANADA

Alces, 2016
Recruitment of winter tick larvae (Dermacentor albipictus) was studied in a forest opening and a closed canopy deciduous forest to evaluate their potential as sources of tick infestation to moose (Alces alces). Engorged female ticks were set out in early

Content analysis of TikTok videos about tick prevention methods for dogs and cats

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Social media is a major source of pet health information. On platforms such as TikTok, algorithm‐driven recommendations may expose users to health‐related content even without active searching. This study described tick prevention videos on TikTok.

Citizen science project on urban canids provides different results from camera traps but generates interest and revenue

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
As urbanization increases, wildlife increasingly encounters people. Coyotes Canis latrans and red foxes Vulpes vulpes are two canid species that have readily adapted to urban environments. Citizen science has emerged as a low‐cost method of collecting data on urban‐adapted species that can benefit management agencies but may provide different results ...

Monitoring the effects of ovariectomy on seasonal movement behavior in suburban female white‐tailed deer using internet of things‐enabled devices

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Abundant deer populations often cause conflicts in suburban communities, yet traditional population reduction methods, such as controlled hunting, can be challenging to implement. Fertility control, specifically through ovariectomy, can limit reproduction and reduce populations in certain settings, but its effect on movement behavior remains poorly ...

Improving manual tagging of camera trap videos for wildlife studies: a visual assistance tool applied to the endangered huillin Lontra provocax

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
In the last decades, the use of camera traps for wildlife studies has increased significantly due to advancements in technology leading to cost reduction and improved reliability. They facilitate the study of wild animals in their natural environment in a minimally invasive manner, eliminating the need for researchers to remain in the field for long ...
