Research Center
MGW is providing logistical support for Integral Ecology Research Center,
a local non-profit 501c(3) organization, to conduct
a disease ecology project on the prevalence and distribution
of diseases affecting mid-sized, mammalian carnivores in Northwestern California. Analyses are being performed
using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of DNA and immunofluorescent
antibody assay to the pathogens on live-trapped carnivores. Research began in
March of 2003 and will continue for the next several years. |
