Results Thus Far!
Hi everyone!
I can't thank you enough for all your donations and support. We have completed testing on all samples retrieved from hunter check stations outlined in this project and have been fortunate enough to expand to also collecting samples from Wyoming mule deer.
All pronghorn samples (N=42) collected from check stations in Wyoming were negative for Mycoplasma bovis. Meaning, we have not found any asymptomatic pronghorn or chronic carriers thus far which could be contributing to the epizootics or posing a risk of additional spillover to other species.
We are now able to start analyzing our results and compiling the data with additional research questions into a manuscript and hope to begin the publishing process soon.
Thanks, Maggie :)
