Geographic Range Expansion for the Rat Lungworm in North America
E infectious diseases negatively impact humans and wildlife, causing disease outbreaks and deaths and local and global extinctions (1). Zoonotic disease emergence or re-emergence results from numerous factors (e.g., globalization of trade, increased interaction of humans and animals, anthropogenic climate change) that function independently or synergistically (2,3). Consequently, the means by w...
متن کاملGeographic Range Expansion for Rat Lungworm in North America
Using quantitative PCR analysis and DNA sequencing, we provide evidence for the presence of rat lungworm (Angiostrongylus cantonensis) in Oklahoma, USA, and identified a potentially novel rat host (Sigmodon hispidus). Our results indicate a geographic range expansion for this medically and ecologically relevant parasite in North America.
متن کاملUncertainty in Various Habitat Suitability Models and Its Impact on Habitat Suitability Estimates for Fish
Species distribution models (SDMs) are extensively used to project habitat suitability of species in stream ecological studies. Owing to complex sources of uncertainty, such models may yield projections with varying degrees of uncertainty. To better understand projected spatial distributions and the variability between habitat suitability projections, this study uses five SDMs that are based on...
متن کاملPrevalence of Anaplasma, Bartonella and Borrelia Species in Haemaphysalis longicornis collected from goats in North Korea
North Korea is located on the northern part of the Korean Peninsula in East Asia. While tick-borne pathogens of medical and veterinary importance have been reported from China and South Korea, they have not been reported from North Korea. To screen for zoonotic tick-borne pathogens in North Korea, ticks were collected from domestic goats. A total of 292 (27 nymph, 26 male, 239 female) Haemaphys...
متن کاملHabitat suitability models for desert amphibians
A fundamental step in conserving biodiversity is identification of quality habitat needed to sustain populations of target species. We used coarse scale environmental features (soil water holding capacity, soil texture, slope, elevation, and proximity to drainage channels) to predict habitat suitability for four species of desert amphibians in Big Bend National Park, USA: Scaphiopus couchii, Bu...
