Moose Calf Mortality in Central Ontario, Canada
Although some populations remain stable, moose (Alces alces) density and distribution have been declining in many areas along the southern edge of their North American distribution. During 2006– 2009, we deployed 99 vaginal implant transmitters (VITs) in 86 adult female moose in central Ontario, Canada to assist in locating and radiocollaring neonatal moose calves. We monitored radiocollared ca...
متن کاملInvestigation of Amphibian Mortality Events in Wildlife Reveals an On-Going Ranavirus Epidemic in the North of the Netherlands
In the four years following the first detection of ranavirus (genus Ranavirus, family Iridoviridae) infection in Dutch wildlife in 2010, amphibian mortality events were investigated nationwide to detect, characterize and map ranaviruses in amphibians over time, and to establish the affected host species and the clinico-pathological presentation of the disease in these hosts. The ultimate goal w...
متن کاملInfection and co-infection by the amphibian chytrid fungus and ranavirus in wild Costa Rican frogs.
Amphibian populations are globally threatened by emerging infectious diseases, and 2 pathogens in particular are recognized as major threats: the amphibian chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and ranaviruses. Here, we evaluated the prevalence of infection by Bd and ranavirus in an assemblage of frogs from a lowland wet forest in Costa Rica. We found an overall prevalence of 21.3%...

متن کاملAmphibian decline and mass mortality: the value of visualizing ranavirus in tissue sections.
Ranaviruses negatively impact amphibian populations throughout the world and have been associated with population fluctuations and mass mortality events (Collins and Storfer, 2003; Daszak et al., 2003). Amphibian ranaviruses infect multiple species, with host susceptibility differing among species and developmental stages (Brunner et al., 2005; Duffus et al., 2008; Gray et al., 2007; Robert et ...
