Although parvoviruses are commonly described in domestic carnivores, little is known about their biodiversity nondomestic species. A phylogenetic analysis of VP2 gene sequences from puma, coyote, gray wolf, bobcat, raccoon, and striped skunk revealed two major groups related to either feline panleukopenia virus ("FPV-like") or canine parvovirus ("CPV-like"). Cross-species transmission was commonplace, with multiple introductions into each host species but, the exception raccoons, relatively...
Canine parvovirus (CPV) emerged as a new pandemic pathogen of dogs in the 1970s and is closely related to feline panleukopenia virus (FPV), cats carnivores. Although both viruses have wide host ranges, analysis viral sequences recovered from different wild carnivore species, shown here, demonstrated that >95% were derived CPV-like viruses, suggesting CPV dominant sylvatic cycles. Many showed host-specific mutations their capsid proteins, which often close sites known control binding...
The host tropism expansion of SARS-CoV-2 raises concern for the potential risk reverse-zoonotic transmission emerging variants into rodent species, including wild rat species. In this study, we present both genetic and serological evidence exposure to New York City population, these viruses may be linked that were circulating during early stages pandemic.
Avian influenza is a viral disease that primarily infects wild and domestic birds, but it also can be transmitted to variety of mammals. In 2006, the United States America Departments Agriculture Interior designed large-scale, interagency surveillance effort sought determine if highly pathogenic avian viruses were present in bird populations within America. This program, combined with Canadian Mexican programs, represented largest, coordinated wildlife program ever implemented. Here we...
Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is an emerging arbovirus, and inter-continental spread impending threat. The maintained in a transmission cycle between mosquito vectors vertebrate hosts, including birds. We detected variation interspecies responses among North American birds to infection with strains of two different JEV genotypes (I III). Several native passerine species ring-billed gulls had the highest average peak viremia titers after inoculation Vietnamese (genotype I) strain. Oral...
Understanding pathogen emergence in new host species is fundamental for developing prevention and response plans human animal health. We leveraged a large-scale surveillance dataset coordinated by United States Department of Agriculture, Animal Plant Health Inspection Service State Natural Resources Agencies to quantify the outbreak dynamics SARS-CoV-2 North American white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus; WTD) throughout its range States. Local epidemics WTD were well approximated...
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an arthropod-borne virus, which known to cause severe disease only in humans. To investigate its potential zoonotic host range and evaluate reservoir competence among these hosts, experimental infections were performed on individuals from nine avian 12 mammalian species representing both domestic wild animals common North America. Hamsters inbred mice have previously been shown develop viremia after inoculation with CHIKV used as positive controls for infection....
The prevalence of difficult or prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation is increasing because a growing number elderly patients with multiple diseases and pulmonary problems requiring ventilation. Intensive care units (ICU) are inclined to refer specialized unit those who wean. A nationwide survey German facilities was conducted this article reports the current state centers staffed by chest physicians.38 participated in survey, which divided into 10 items, covering characteristics...
Abstract Understanding pathogen emergence in new host species is fundamental for developing prevention and response plans human animal health. We leveraged a large-scale surveillance dataset coordinated by United States Department of Agriculture, Animal Plant Health Inspection Service state natural resources agencies to quantify infection SARS-CoV-2 North American white-tailed deer ( Odocoileus virginianus ; WTD) using hierarchical epidemiological model the eastern half States. Our found...
Abstract In search for critical elements, polymetallic nodules at the deep abyssal seafloor are targeted mining operations. Nodules efficiently scavenge and retain several naturally occurring uranium-series radioisotopes, which predominantly emit alpha radiation during decay. Here, we present new data on activity concentrations of thorium-230, radium-226, protactinium-231, as well release radon-222 in from NE Pacific Ocean. line with abundantly published historic studies, demonstrate that...
The brown tree snake (Boiga irregularis) is a significant ecological, agricultural, and economic pest on Guam. Acetaminophen has recently been identified as promising toxicant. Subsequent experimentation shown that acetaminophen−mouse baits are readily consumed by acutely toxic to snakes. Before implementing an island-wide baiting program for the reduction of populations, potential risks nontarget wildlife must be evaluated. Quantification hazards comparing exposure levels toxicity values...
Changes in body odor are known to be a consequence of many diseases. Much the published work on disease-related and changes has involved parasites certain cancers. less studied have been viral diseases, possibly due an absence good animal model systems. Here we possible alteration fecal odors animals infected with avian influenza viruses (AIV). In behavioral study, inbred C57BL/6 mice were trained standard Y-maze discriminate emanating from feces collected mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos)...
Using filter paper to collect blood from wildlife for antibody analysis can be a powerful technique simplify the collection, transport, and storage of samples. Despite these advantages, there are limited data that detail how long samples stored conditions affect longevity. We used collected on coyotes experimentally infected with Yersinia pestis determine optimum sample over time. Blood were 454 d or more in four groups: 1) at ambient temperature relative humidity, 2) desiccant, 3) 4 C 4)...
Diabetes has adverse effects on the retinal microvasculature.
