1. Fauna atropelada : estimativas de mortalidade e identificação de zonas de agregação
Vehicle-wildlife collisions are considered the main human factor responsible directly for vertebrate mortality worldwide. Roadkill estimates are elementary to evaluate road impacts, but carcass removal and searcher efficiency must be considered in order to diminish estimation bias. Mitigation measures have been implemented to reduce wildlife mortality and to

2. Evolução dos índices de atropelamento de vertebrados silvestres nas rodovias do entorno da estação ecológica Águas Emendadas, DF, Brasil, e eficácia de medidas mitigadoras / Evolução dos índices de atropelamento de vertebrados silvestres nas rodovias do entorno da estação ecológica Águas Emendadas, DF, Brasil, e eficácia de medidas mitigadoras
A grande quantidade de atropelamentos de animais em rodovias que circundam áreas de Unidades de Conservação acarreta perdas financeiras e aumenta a mortandade de animais silvestres que, conforme a literatura corrente chegou, em 1996, a pelo menos 2.700 mamíferos silvestres, atropelados nas rodovias que cortam o ameaçado bioma Cerrado e atualmente é ain

3. An enzootic transmission cycle of Lyme borreliosis spirochetes in the southeastern United States
Lyme borreliosis, or Lyme disease (LD), is a tick-borne zoonotic infection of biomedical significance, caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) spirochetes and transmitted by Ixodes species ticks. It usually circulates among wildlife vertebrate reservoirs and vector ticks but may infect humans, causing multisystem problems. In far western and norther

4. Differential Transmission of the Genospecies of Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato by Game Birds and Small Rodents in England
The genetic diversity of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato was assessed in a focus of Lyme borreliosis in southern Britain dominated by game birds. Ticks, rodents, and pheasants were analyzed for spirochete infections by PCR targeting the 23S-5S rRNA genes, followed by genotyping by the reverse line blot method. In questing Ixodes ricinus ticks, three genospec

5. Community diversity reduces Schistosoma mansoni transmission, host pathology and human infection risk
Global biodiversity loss and disease emergence are two of the most challenging issues confronting science and society. Recently, observed linkages between species-loss and vector-borne infections suggest that biodiversity may help reduce pathogenic infections in humans and wildlife, but the mechanisms underlying this relationship and its applicability to a b
