Sars-CoV-2 Surveillance of Wild Mice and Rats in North American Cities
Hands off the Mink! Using Environmental Sampling for Sars-CoV-2 Surveillance in American Mink
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous non-human species were shown to be susceptible to natural infection by SARS-CoV-2, including farmed American mink. Once infected, American mink can transfer the virus from mink to human and mink to mink, resulting in a high rate of viral mutation. Therefore, outbreak surveillance on American mink farms is imperative for both mink and human health. Historically, disease surveillance on mink farms has cons…
Municipal urban rat management policies and programming in seven cities in the United States of America
While literature indicates that municipal rat management approaches are often unsuccessful, a lack of research comparing strategies makes the breadth of opportunities and challenges associated with different approaches uncertain. Here, we explored the municipal rat management policies and programs in seven cities in the United States of America. Rat policies were attained by collecting rat management-related municipal codes in each city. Informat…
They’re always there”
This study suggests that the presence of rats in urban centres may have several consequences on the physical and mental health of residents living in close contact with them. These effects may be exacerbated with continued contact with rats and when residents perceive a lack of initiative to control rats in their neighbourhood. As such, research and policies aimed at mitigating the health risks posed by rats should extend beyond disease-related r…
Environmental Factors Associated with the Carriage of Bacterial Pathogens in Norway Rats
Pet Ownership, Other Domestic Relationships, and Satisfaction with Life among Seniors
Given unprecedented aging in the global population along with the physical and psychological challenges associated with aging, it is important to identify ways to protect and promote quality of life for seniors. Previous research has suggested that pet ownership may confer a variety of health and social benefits among seniors. The purpose of this analysis was to determine whether pet ownership was associated with satisfaction with life among Cana…
