Researchers will investigate if recent declines in caribou and muskoxen herds are linked to disease caused by an emerging bacterium, Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae.

Researchers will develop a genetic management toolkit, including sperm freezing, artificial insemination and behavioral management strategies, to help preserve the genetic diversity of endangered African wild dogs.

Researchers will study biting fly species responsible for transmitting blood parasites that can cause serious disease in the critically endangered Javan rhinoceros.

Researchers will study dolphin morbillivirus – a virus similar to canine distemper virus– to help predict and manage disease outbreaks in whales, dolphins and porpoises.

This study will identify the mechanisms by which some Rhodococcus equi isolates have become resistant to the antibiotics most commonly used to treat infected foals.
