In the wildlife health field, parasites are usually seen as detrimental organisms, but many actually perform important ecological functions. This special issue explores the emerging frontier of parasite conservation. Which parasite species are at greatest extinction risk and why? Which parasite species perform important ecological functions, and which should be targeted for conservation? How and when should we act to conserve parasite biodiversity?
Condors that feed on contaminated marine mammal carcasses or scavenge away from condor management sites may have higher stress responses.
Findings suggest that harvesting mule deer with sufficient hunting pressure may help control chronic wasting disease.
This study evaluated the effects of partial sedation on physiological, biochemical, and behavioral indicators of acute stress and probability of survival post‐capture for mule deer.
Summer and autumn forage quality may partially offset the negative effect associated with M. ovipneumoniae infection on host survival.
This Special Issue on epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus in Viruses will provide a multifaceted view of the latest research into epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus.
A recent study suggests the timing of box turtle activity patterns may be shifting in response to a warmer climate.
The purpose of this study was to create and validate the R package, countcolors, for quantifying the distinct orange–yellow UV fluorescence in bat-wing membrane lesions caused by P. destructans (white-nose syndrome).
Preliminary reference ranges were developed to gauge differences between captive and wild populations. Additional samples were taken from clinically abnormal captive pronghorn with facial abscesses.
A wild population of white-tailed deer was surveyed for evidence of past or current epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV) and current bluetongue virus (BTV) infections.
