Mycobacteriosis in swine is a common zoonosis found in abattoirs during meat inspections, and the veterinary authority is expected to inform the producer for corrective actions when an outbreak is detected. The expected value of the number of condemned carcasses due to mycobacteriosis therefore w...

Japan enjoys a rabies-free status but needs risk assessment in dogs and wildlife populations. This
study was conducted to develop a method to estimate red fox population using feces counts. To
develop this method we needed to determine: 1) where foxes defecate, 2) where they make dens,
and 3) fin...
