Dermatophytosis in wild eastern cottontail rabbits: A one health investigation

Send us Fan Mail

Can you imagine a study where no eastern cottontail rabbits tested positive for dermatophytes? You'll be astounded when our expert guests, Siobhan Meadows and Sam Sander, reveal the unexpected findings from a unique study at the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine's Wildlife Medical Clinic. Together, they shed light on the crucial importance of studying common wildlife species to understand ecosystem health, human impact, and biosecurity concerns. We also focus on the repercussions of pet interactions with wildlife, an area often overlooked, but of considerable public health significance.

We'll share how a dash of humor and supportive family and mentors help in overcoming challenges. As we put the pieces together, much like completing a puzzle with mischievous pets around, we conclude with a gratifying chat with Sam and Siobhan about their recent open-access article in AJVR, and the sheer joy of sharing their research with the world. So, come along for this enlightening escapade through the realms of veterinary research and personal growth.
