About This Project
The Maya Biosphere Reserve is one of Mesoamerica's most important wildlife conservation areas. Humans and wildlife have coexisted here for many years, but domestic animal populations in the reserve communities are increasing, which may increase spillover risk of common diseases such as distemper and parvovirus. We will be evaluating the transmission of pathogens between domestic species and wildlife to better understand the risk of these diseases to wild carnivores.
