the identification of a new giardia duodenalis assemblage in marine vertebrates and a preliminary analysis of g. duodenalis population biology in marine systems.giardia duodenalis is an intestinal parasite of many vertebrates. the presence of g. duodenalis in the marine environment due to anthropogenic and wildlife activity is well documented, including the contributions from untreated sewage and storm water, agricultural run-off and droppings from terrestrial animals. recently, studies have detected this protistan parasite in the faeces of marine vertebrates such as whales, dolphins, seals and shore birds. to explore the population biology of g. duoden ...201020361967
pilot study of antimicrobial-resistant escherichia coli in herring gulls (larus argentatus) and wastewater in the northeastern united states.wildlife may be an important reservoir of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and resistance genes. in this pilot study, the prevalence and patterns of antimicrobial resistance in escherichia coli cultured from wild herring gull (larus argentatus) feces and human wastewater at cape cod, massachusetts, usa, was compared. antimicrobial susceptibility was tested using kirby-bauer disk diffusion with seven antimicrobial agents. a high proportion of antimicrobial agent-resistant e. coli isolates (59.2%) we ...201122946391
detection of wellfleet bay virus antibodies in sea birds of the northeastern united states.wellfleet bay virus (wfbv) is a recently described orthomyxovirus isolated from the tissues of common eiders (somateria mollissima) collected during recurrent mortality events on cape cod, massachusetts, usa. coastal massachusetts is the only location where disease or mortality associated with this virus has been detected in wild birds, and a previous seroprevalence study found a significantly higher frequency of viral exposure in eiders from this location than from other areas sampled in north ...201728640712
