GOALS OF THE DISSERTATION Sample Clauses

GOALS OF THE DISSERTATION. This dissertation represents a body of work aimed at elucidating the factors involved in the transmission and spread of a zoonotic disease in a wildlife population. Specifically, three host-based approaches are taken to gain insight into how raccoon rabies has spread throughout the eastern seaboard. The first examines raccoon relatedness estimates to infer the impact of social structure on disease transmission. The second method uses raccoon population genetics to identify historical and contemporary barriers to gene flow and how that might influence rabies spread. The final method uses surveillance data and modeling techniques to examine the spatiotemporal relationship of raccoon rabies virus in two wildlife species, the raccoon and the skunk, to determine the relative influence of host home range, incubation period, and infectious period on the spatial and temporal clustering or aggregation of raccoon rabies in a multi-host system. After an introduction into raccoons and rabies and their utility as a model system, each of these approaches will be summarized below.
