Effects of Diversity on Emerging Infectious Diseases of Amphibians

Creator:: Snyder, Paul W.
Abstract:: Species declines and extinctions have been recorded across taxa as evidence of an ongoing global biodiversity crisis. Amphibians are at the forefront of these declines with nearly one third of amphibian species estimated to be at risk of extinction. While many factors contribute to population declines and extinctions, the role...

Development and Infectious Disease in Hosts with Complex Life Cycles

Creator:: Searle, Catherine L., Xie, Gisselle Yang, and Blaustein, Andrew R.
Abstract:: Metamorphosis is often characterized by profound changes in morphology and physiology that can affect the dynamics of species interactions. For example, the interaction between a pathogen and its host may differ depending on the life stage of the host or pathogen. One pathogen that infects hosts with complex life cycles...

Wildlife Health in Managed Forests : Immunity and Infectious Diseases in Wild Rodents of Oregon

Creator:: Hanselmann, Rhea
Abstract:: With continual and worldwide human population growth, our impact on the natural environment expands and intensifies every day. We consume natural resources, burn fossil fuels, and release toxic compounds into the air, water, and earth. We build roads that fragment the landscape, construct new settlements, and develop agricultural lands in...

Infectious diseases of the Felidae : parasite communities from miniature to massive

Creator:: Broughton, Heather M.
Abstract:: Direct anthropogenic stressors have caused drastic declines in wildlife populations over the past two centuries. In the face of these threats, spillover of infectious disease from domestic animals and livestock into wildlife, and novel interactions between parasites and pathogens within wildlife communities, have further suppressed already vulnerable populations. As management...

The Role of Emerging Pathogens in Amphibian Population Declines : Experimental Evidence

Creator:: Hambalek, Natalie M.
Abstract:: Rapid rates of biodiversity loss have supported the notion that Earth is experiencing a sixth major extinction event. The causes of worldwide biodiversity loss are multifaceted and context dependent. One of the most prominent groups experiencing population declines and extinctions are amphibians. Several pathogens and their associated diseases are especially...

Amphibian Population Declines and Extinctions: Disease in Amphibian Communities with Cascading Effects in Freshwater Communities

Creator:: Harjoe, Carmen C.
Abstract:: Earth is experiencing unprecedented biodiversity loss. Amphibians are at the forefront of this biodiversity loss, with species declines estimated to be more severe than those of birds and mammals. Amphibian population declines and extinctions are driven by a number of factors including climate change, habitat destruction, contaminants and disease but...

Persistent Chaos of Measles Epidemics in the Prevaccination United States Caused by a Small Change in Seasonal Transmission Patterns

Creator:: Dalziel, Benjamin D., Bjørnstad, Ottar N., van Panhuis, Willem G., Burke, Donald S., Metcalf, C. Jessica E., and Grenfell, Bryan T.
Abstract:: Epidemics of infectious diseases often occur in predictable limit cycles. Theory suggests these cycles can be disrupted by high amplitude seasonal fluctuations in transmission rates, resulting in deterministic chaos. However, persistent deterministic chaos has never been observed, in part because sufficiently large oscillations in transmission rates are uncommon. Where they...

The Effects of Nitrate and a Pathogenic Fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, on Amphibians

Creator:: Negru, Delia
Abstract:: The current rate of global biodiversity loss and extinctions is unparalleled and a major concern. Freshwater organisms are facing particularly rapid rates of biodiversity loss. Amphibians, which require an aquatic environment for part of their life cycle, are one of the most vulnerable vertebrate groups. Amphibians are experiencing population declines,...

The Effects of Host and Pathogen Variation on Infection Dynamics in the Amphibian-Chytrid System

Creator:: Dang, Trang D.
Abstract:: This dissertation uses manipulative experiments to explore amphibian-Bd infection dynamics. Although there has been almost two decades research since the discovery of Bd, many questions still remain regarding what conditions mediate chytridiomycosis virulence. My research shows how certain host and pathogen factors can influence disease virulence. Identifying how host and...

Individual Host to Population Scale Dynamics of Parasite Assemblages in African Buffalo of Kruger National Park, South Africa

Creator:: Glidden, Caroline K.
Abstract:: The last century has experienced a marked increase in emerging infectious disease (EID, hereafter) – jeopardizing human, domestic animal, and wildlife health. EIDs are commonly associated with spillover from one host species into a novel host species, with many destructive diseases, for both livestock and wildlife, emerging at the wildlife-livestock...
