Weyand L, Felts B, Cassirer E, Jenks J, Walsh D, Besser T
J Clin Microbiol . 2025 Jan; 63(2):e0132824. PMID: 39835822
We hypothesized that bighorn sheep ewes with chronic nasal carriage are the source of infection that results in fatal lamb pneumonia. We tested this hypothesis in captive bighorn ewes at...

Andrews K, Besser T, Stalder T, Top E, Baker K, Fagnan M, et al.
Microb Genom . 2024 Aug; 10(8). PMID: 39213169
is associated with respiratory disease in wild and domestic Caprinae globally, with wide variation in disease outcomes within and between host species. To gain insight into phylogenetic structure and mechanisms...

Vet Microbiol . 2023 Dec; 288:109914. PMID: 38113575
Escherichia coli is the most common cause of recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI) in dogs. UTI recurrence comprises of persistent, unresolved E. coli infection or reinfection with a different strain...

Ecol Evol . 2021 Nov; 11(21):14366-14382. PMID: 34765112
A respiratory disease epizootic at the National Bison Range (NBR) in Montana in 2016-2017 caused an 85% decline in the bighorn sheep population, documented by observations of its unmarked but...

Appl Environ Microbiol . 2020 Nov; 87(2). PMID: 33158889
Subcutaneous vaccination of cattle for enterohemorrhagic O157:H7 reduces the magnitude and duration of fecal shedding, but the often-required, repeated cattle restraint can increase costs, deterring adoption by producers. In contrast,...

Garwood T, Lehman C, Walsh D, Cassirer E, Besser T, Jenks J
Ecol Evol . 2020 Apr; 10(7):3491-3502. PMID: 32274004
Chronic pathogen carriage is one mechanism that allows diseases to persist in populations. We hypothesized that persistent or recurrent pneumonia in bighorn sheep () populations may be caused by chronic...

Sci Rep . 2019 Oct; 9(1):15318. PMID: 31653889
Spillover diseases have significant consequences for human and animal health, as well as wildlife conservation. We examined spillover and transmission of the pneumonia-associated bacterium Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae in domestic sheep, domestic...

Managing pathogen spillover at the wildlife-livestock interface is a key step towards improving global animal health, food security and wildlife conservation. However, predicting the effectiveness of management actions across host-pathogen...
