Ranavirosis in Invasive Bullfrogs, Belgium
نویسندگان
چکیده
low (10), our fi ndings support the use of preventive hygiene measures (4) to minimize zoonotic risk when handling roe deer. The 2 MLVAtyped strains provided no evidence for spillover of the predominant strain involved in the Q fever epidemic in the Netherlands. More studies are required to adequately understand Q fever cycles in wildlife and their relationship with Q fever in domestic animals and humans.

Efficacy of potential chemical control compounds for removing invasive American bullfrogs (Rana catesbeiana)
Invasive American bullfrogs [Rana catesbeiana (Lithobates catesbeianus)] are outcompeting and predating on native biota and contributing to reductions in biodiversity worldwide. Current methods for controlling American bullfrogs are incapable of stopping their expansion, thus more cost-effective and broadly applicable methods are needed. Although chemical control compounds have been identified ...
متن کاملHabitat connectivity and resident shared predators determine the impact of invasive bullfrogs on native frogs in farm ponds.
Habitat connectivity is considered to have an important role on the persistence of populations in the face of habitat fragmentation, in particular, for species with conservation concern. However, it can also impose indirect negative effects on native species through the spread of invasive species. Here, we investigated direct and indirect effects of habitat connectivity on populations of invasi...

متن کاملImpact of asynchronous emergence of two lethal pathogens on amphibian assemblages
Emerging diseases have been increasingly associated with population declines, with co-infections exhibiting many types of interactions. The chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis) and ranaviruses have extraordinarily broad host ranges, however co-infection dynamics have been largely overlooked. We investigated the pattern of co-occurrence of these two pathogens in an amphibian assemblag...
متن کاملAn Exotic Species Is the Favorite Prey of a Native Enemy
Although native enemies in an exotic species' new range are considered to affect its ability to invade, few studies have evaluated predation pressures from native enemies on exotic species in their new range. The exotic prey naiveté hypothesis (EPNH) states that exotic species may be at a disadvantage because of its naïveté towards native enemies and, therefore, may suffer higher predation pres...
