Assessing Impact of Plague Vaccine on Prairie Ecosystems
The aim of this study is to determine whether distributing the oral sylvatic plague vaccine to prairie dogs has protective and other effects on small rodents that live in and around prairie dog colonies.
Reducing the Spread of Foot-and-Mouth Disease from African Buffalo to Livestock
This study, based at Kruger National Park, South Africa, will contribute critical information to understanding and limiting spillover-risk of foot-and-mouth disease from wild African buffalo to livestock in adjacent rural areas.
Identifying How Plague Affects Prairie Dogs and Black-Footed Ferrets
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.
Assessing Vaccine Administration Techniques in Bats
Researchers will assess delivery methods for the vaccination of free-ranging bats using recombinant poxviral vectors.
