Although the adult stage typically causes no disease in raccoons, the larval stage can cause significant disease in a variety of species, including humans. Raccoons often use human environments, which may increase the risk of B. procyonis exposure in people, particularly in urban settings. Because of this, our objectives were to identify host and environmental risk factors associated with the prevalence and intensity of B. procyonis infection in raccoons in Ontario, Canada. Between 2013 and 2016, 1,539 raccoons were collected and examined for the presence of B. procyonis. Thereafter, we analyzed our data for the influence of age, sex, fat stores, human population size, land use classification, season, and year of collection on the prevalence and intensity of infection. With multilevel logistic regression models, we identified significant associations between prevalence and host age, prevalence and amount of fat stores, and prevalence and season of collection; a significant two-way interaction was also identified between host sex and land use classification. Additionally, by using multilevel negative binomial regression models, we identified significant associations between the intensity of parasite infection and season of collection, as well as three significant two-way interactions: host sex and land use classification, host age and land use classification, and host sex and amount of fat stores. These findings help provide a more complete understanding of B. procyonis ecology in raccoons, including identifying associations between different environments and B. procyonis, which may assist in the development of future risk management strategies.","PeriodicalId":22805,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Wildlife Diseases","volume":"35 3 1","pages":"328 - 337"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87667705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although domestic pigs and wild boar (Sus scrofa) are the main reservoirs of HEV, the constant expansion of wild ruminants increases the potential for HEV transmission. We investigated HEV infection in chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra) and red deer (Cervus elaphus) in the Italian Alps using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). We detected HEV antibodies from 2013 to 2015 in both host species, with seroprevalences of 1.2% and 0.8% in chamois and red deer, respectively. All serum samples that were positive to HEV antibodies by ELISA were negative when tested by real-time reverse-transcriptase PCR to detect HEV RNA. The observed low seroprevalence of HEV suggested a sporadic circulation of HEV in the alpine environment, and it was consistent with the low seroprevalence observed in wild boar in the Alps. Our observations supported the role of chamois and red deer as spillover hosts of HEV infections in the Italian Alps.","PeriodicalId":22805,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Wildlife Diseases","volume":"174 1","pages":"443 - 446"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79614501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These flies damage host skin and serve as vectors for blood-associated pathogens. Little is known about their phenology, host selection, and prevalence in wild birds. Our study provided a broad-scale assessment of louse flies parasitizing Charadrii and Scolopaci shorebirds during their migration through Central Europe. We collected louse flies from 3,129 specimens in 22 species of shorebirds at a major migratory stopover site in central Poland in 2011–17. In total, 31 Ornithomya avicularia and 15 Ornithomya chloropus specimens occurred on five wader species: Common Snipe (Gallinago gallinago), Ruff (Calidris pugnax), Dunlin (Calidris alpina), Curlew Sandpiper (Calidris ferruginea), and Wood Sandpiper (Tringa glareola). Prevalences ranged from 0.23% to 4.62%. No individual birds were infested by both species of fly, and no flies were found on an additional 17 wader species. The rarer of the two flies, O. chloropus, occurred on all infested bird species, whereas O. avicularia occurred only on Common Snipe and Curlew Sandpiper. In comparison with the other four infested wader species, Common Snipe (n=1,194) was more frequently infested with O. avicularia than with O. chloropus. Our study shows that the prevalence of louse flies on shorebirds is much lower than on other avian taxa. Ecologic and evolutionary mechanisms leading to the relative rarity of louse flies on shorebirds remain to be understood.","PeriodicalId":22805,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Wildlife Diseases","volume":"18 1","pages":"414 - 418"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73749527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We retrospectively analyzed total cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), mercury (Hg), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), lead (Pb), selenium (Se), and zinc (Zn) in livers of dead stranded harbor seals (n=57) collected in SJC between 2009 and 2012 to identify age-related and regional patterns of trace element exposure. Consistent with prior studies of contaminants in pinnipeds, Hg, Cd, and Se concentrations increased with age, and Se:Hg molar ratios approached 1:1 in adult seals. Concentrations of Cd and Hg were below putative marine mammal toxicity thresholds. Mercury concentrations were comparable among Salish Sea populations. Although SJC is less urbanized with fewer industrial inputs than South Puget Sound (SPS), SJC nonpups had greater concentrations of Cd, Cu, and Zn, and pups had greater concentrations of Zn compared to SPS seals. We hypothesize these regional differences could be due to prey preference and availability or to natural geochemical processes. Reported concentrations inform future sampling protocols and can assist in tracking long-term temporal and spatial trends of trace elements in marine organisms.","PeriodicalId":22805,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Wildlife Diseases","volume":"17 1","pages":"429 - 436"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80820337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Partial 18S rRNA and cytochrome oxidase I gene sequences were most similar to other Crenosoma spp. Although commonly reported in free-ranging raccoons throughout much of the central and eastern US, this finding extends the range of C. goblei into the Pacific Northwest of North America. Fecal samples taken within 48 h of admission were positive for larvae in 70% (21/30) of individuals and in all five group samples taken from an additional 14 raccoons. Typically, Crenosoma spp. use an intermediate host, but the unweaned status of all the raccoons in this report suggests a potential direct, possibly vertical, route of transmission. Serial fecal analysis of pooled samples collected over several subsequent months demonstrated spontaneous resolution of larval shedding. Adult worms and gross evidence of pneumonia were detected in the lungs of several juvenile raccoons at necropsy, and verminous pneumonia was confirmed histologically in the single case submitted. Clinical signs directly attributable to verminous pneumonia were not seen in most actively shedding raccoons, suggesting that subclinical disease among juveniles may be common.","PeriodicalId":22805,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Wildlife Diseases","volume":"16 1","pages":"419 - 423"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78935586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We aimed to establish a better understanding of the physiologic responses to capture and transport in black (Diceros bicornis) and white (Ceratotherium simum) rhinoceroses in Southern Africa. Fourteen adult black rhinoceroses were transported 600 km by vehicle and 32 white rhinoceroses (24 adults and 8 juveniles) were transported 1,300 km by vehicle. The black rhinoceroses had been wild-caught and boma-adapted over 6 wk prior to the translocation and were only sedated to allow for loading into the transport crates. The white rhinoceroses originated from a game farm and were chemically immobilized from a helicopter and then loaded. Paired blood samples were collected from animals at loading (capture) and after transport and evaluated for changes in clinical chemistry analytes, acute phase reactants, and oxidative stress biomarkers. The Wilcoxon rank sum test was used to compare changes in measured analytes from capture and after transport. All rhinoceroses survived capture and transport. Rhinoceroses experienced total body water loss, mobilization of energy reserves, and muscular damage. Alterations in acute phase reactants suggested that animals mounted a stress response. Oxidative stress was observed in black rhinoceroses. We identified the following challenges to animal welfare during transport: hydration status, energy balance, skeletal muscle fatigue, and stress-induced immunomodulation. Measures to mitigate these challenges, such as administration of fluids, need to be included in the planning of future translocations.","PeriodicalId":22805,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Wildlife Diseases","volume":"21 1","pages":"294 - 305"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89552754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
