IMMUNOHISTOCHEMICAL EVALUATION OF RABIES VIRUS DISSEMINATION TO PERIPHERAL TISSUES AND ORGANS IN NATURALLY INFECTED STRIPED SKUNKS (MEPHITIS MEPHITIS) FROM NORTHERN COLORADO, USA

We describe the diagnostic utility of peripheral tissues from naturally infected free-ranging rabid striped skunks (Mephitis mephitis) to explore enhanced rabies surveillance testing using alternative tissues to the brainstem. Fifty-two dead or moribund adult striped skunks were...

Ethyl-iophenoxic acid as a serum biomarker for marsupial species in oral bait trials

Abstract Ethyl-iophenoxic acid (Et-IPA) is widely recognized as a useful biomarker to confirm oral bait consumption in eutherian species. In historical studies on marsupials, Et-IPA was rapidly eliminated from brushtail possums ( Trichosurus vulpecula ) and swamp wallabies ( Wall...
