This study investigates viruses and risk factors associated with respiratory illness in endangered mountain gorillas and evaluates potential transmission routes for viruses to pass between people and animals.

Researchers will use genetic analyses to examine the relationships among rodents, fleas and plague bacteria as a way to further characterize how plague is perpetuated in wild animal reservoirs in the United States. Data generated by this study will be used to direct targeted management strategies of affected wild animal populations.

Researchers will assess delivery methods for the vaccination of free-ranging bats using recombinant poxviral vectors.

Researchers will investigate the development of new therapies to treat devil facial tumor disease, which has already caused an 85 percent decline in the endangered Tasmanian devil population.

Researchers will develop a novel vaccine to prevent pneumonia caused by Mannheimia haemolytica in bighorn sheep.

The aim of this study is to determine whether distributing the oral sylvatic plague vaccine to prairie dogs has protective and other effects on small rodents that live in and around prairie dog colonies.

This study investigates the factors underlying poor lamb survival in bighorn sheep herds in the years following a pneumonia outbreak.

Researchers will investigate innovative techniques to propagate elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus in cell culture.

This study will investigate possible causes of an Unusual Mortality Event of California sea lion pups in Southern California, with a focus on infectious diseases.

This study will generate complete genome sequence data from Eastern gray wolves, which will determine if it is a unique species and therefore should not be delisted from the endangered species list.
