Abstract Broad-scale data show SARS-CoV-2 occurrence in white-tailed deer throughout much of their range the conterminous United States and reinforce findings considerable infection exposure. Results shed light on both current infections prior exposure, with prevalence decreasing over time seroprevalence increasing. One-Sentence Summary White-tailed are infected with, have been exposed to, US.
Rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus 2 (RHDV2) is a highly infectious, often fatal viral that affects both domestic and wild lagomorph species. In the United States (U.S.), first was detected in populations southwest March 2020 has continued to be native North American species over several years. The susceptibility of host exact mechanisms environmental transmission across U.S. landscape remain poorly understood. Our study aims increase understanding RHDV2 by providing history detection. We...
The global outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 Eurasian lineage goose/Guangdong clade 2.3.4.4b virus that was detected in North America 2021 is the largest history and has significantly impacted wild bird populations domestic poultry across continent. Synanthropic birds may play an important role transmitting laterally to other species poultry. Understanding dynamics HPAI atypical, or nonreservoir, hosts help inform management decisions potential risk factors both...
Abstract The 2022 – 2023 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus outbreak of H5N1 Eurasian lineage goose/Guangdong clade 2.3.4.4b is the largest in North American history and has significantly impacted wild bird populations domestic poultry across United States. Synanthropic birds may play an important role transmitting laterally to other species poultry. Understanding prevalence HPAI different orders help inform management decisions potential risk factors for both populations....
