Researchers will investigate the development of assisted-reproductive technologies for salamanders.
Researchers will investigate the development of assisted-reproductive technologies for salamanders.
This study investigates viruses and risk factors associated with respiratory illness in endangered mountain gorillas and evaluates potential transmission routes for viruses to pass between people and animals.
Researchers will use genetic analyses to examine the relationships among rodents, fleas and plague bacteria as a way to further characterize how plague is perpetuated in wild animal reservoirs in the United States. Data generated by this study will be used to direct targeted management strategies of affected wild animal populations.
Researchers will assess delivery methods for the vaccination of free-ranging bats using recombinant poxviral vectors.
This study investigates the use of a dietary iron-binding supplement to minimize iron absorption in zoo-maintained endangered black rhinos afflicted with iron overload disorder.
Researchers will examine the effects of different forms of land-use on the prevalence of ticks and tick-borne diseases in African wild dogs.
This study investigates how exposure to waterborne environmental pollutants in amphibians affects the development of protective immune defenses against a viral pathogen.
