These recommendations were developed to minimize the risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission from people to free-ranging, wild mammals. Specifically, these recommendations are for people engaged in wildlife work in the field, either in direct contact (e.g. handling) or indirect contact (e.g. within 2 meters or in a confined space) with free-ranging wild mammals, or working in situations in which free-ranging wild mammals may come in contact with surfaces or materials contaminated by infected personnel.
Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks has received several reports over the last few weeks of dead or dying white-tailed deer, along with a few antelope. Biologists are still waiting for test results to come back, but early indications indicate patterns and symptoms similar to epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD).
The Becker Lab at the University of Oklahoma is actively recruiting graduate students and postdocs to join and expand research projects on the ecology and evolution of infectious disease in wildlife.
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.
The postdoctoral researcher will focus on conducting geo-spatial analyses and simulation modeling tasks to examine the role of waterfowl in the transmission of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in China.
