2024 article

Traumatic telson avulsion and attempted external stabilization in Atlantic horseshoe crabs (<i>Limulus polyphemus</i>)

Dannemiller, N. G., Watson, K. M., Christiansen, E. F., & Westmoreland, L. S. (2024, January 15). ZOO BIOLOGY.

author keywords: animal welfare; aquarium; horseshoe crab; invertebrate medicine; touch pool
TL;DR: The authors recommend that telson ligament injuries be addressed promptly, any inciting cause be mitigated, and external stabilization be considered earlier, and external stabilization be considered earlier. (via Semantic Scholar)

Diagnostic agreement between three point-of-care glucose and β-hydroxybutyrate meters and reference laboratory methods in stingrays

FRONTIERS IN VETERINARY SCIENCE, 10.

By: N. Dannemiller n, C. Cray*, L. Westmoreland n & E. Christiansen n

author keywords: batoid; clinical pathology; elasmobranch; ketone; metabolism
TL;DR: Utilizing POC meters to measure glucose and β-HB in stingrays may be viable when reference methods are unavailable, and across all three POC meters, mean bias and imprecision for plasma β-HB concentrations were relatively small. (via Semantic Scholar)

2019 journal article

Detection and Prevalence of Babesia spp. in American Black Bears (Ursus americanus) from Eastern and Western North Carolina, USA

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 55(3), 678.

By: L. Westmoreland n, M. Stoskopf n, E. Sheppard n, C. DePerno*, N. Gould n, C. Olfenbuttel*, R. Maggi n

author keywords: American black bear; Babesia; North Carolina; PCR; piroplasms; Theileria; Ursus americanus
MeSH headings : Animals; Babesia / classification; Babesia / genetics; Babesia / isolation & purification; Babesiosis / epidemiology; Babesiosis / parasitology; North Carolina / epidemiology; Phylogeny; Polymerase Chain Reaction; Prevalence; Ursidae / parasitology
TL;DR: The presence of the same Babesia species in black bears, raccoons, and a maned wolf suggests piroplasms may not be host specific. (via Semantic Scholar)

2019 journal article

THE MESOPTERYGIAL VEIN: A RELIABLE VENIPUNCTURE SITE FOR INTRAVASCULAR ACCESS IN BATOIDS

JOURNAL OF ZOO AND WILDLIFE MEDICINE, 50(2), 369–374.

By: L. Westmoreland n, K. Archibald n, E. Christiansen n, H. Broadhurst n & M. Stoskopf n

author keywords: Batoid; elasmobranch; intravascular access; mesopterygial vein; pectoral vasculature
MeSH headings : Aging; Animals; Blood Specimen Collection / veterinary; Female; Male; Skates, Fish / anatomy & histology; Species Specificity
TL;DR: Postmortem contrast radiography and gross dissection are used to develop landmarks for a new, dependable vascular access in three Myliobatiform species commonly maintained in captivity, finding the mesopterygial vein is an alternate site of quick and reliable venous access in batoid species.

Altered acrylic acid concentrations in hard and soft corals exposed to deteriorating water conditions

FACETS, 2, 531–544.

By: L. Westmoreland n, J. Niemuth n, H. Gracz n & M. Stoskopf n

Ed(s): R. Macdonald

TL;DR: Changes in acrylic acid concentration in polyp tissues free of zooxanthellae suggest that acrylic acid could be a product of animal metabolism and not exclusively a metabolic by-product of the osmolyte dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) in marine algae or bacteria. (via Semantic Scholar)

Detection and prevalence of four different hemotropic Mycoplasma spp. in Eastern North Carolina American black bears (Ursus americanus)

Comparative Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 50, 106–109.

By: L. Westmoreland n, M. Stoskopf n & R. Maggi n

author keywords: Hemoplasma; Hemotropic Mycoplasma; American black bear; Ursus americanus
MeSH headings : Animals; DNA, Bacterial / genetics; Disease Reservoirs; Humans; Mycoplasma / classification; Mycoplasma / genetics; Mycoplasma / isolation & purification; Mycoplasma Infections / epidemiology; Mycoplasma Infections / microbiology; Mycoplasma Infections / transmission; Mycoplasma Infections / veterinary; North Carolina / epidemiology; Phylogeny; Polymerase Chain Reaction; Prevalence; RNA, Ribosomal, 16S; Sequence Analysis, DNA; Ursidae / microbiology
TL;DR: The molecular prevalence of Mycoplasma species in blood from 68 free-ranging black bears from the eastern coast of North Carolina revealed four distinct species infecting 34/68 (50%) of the black bear blood samples, including Candidatus M. haematoparvum. (via Semantic Scholar)

By: L. Westmoreland n, M. Stoskopf n & R. Maggi n

MeSH headings : Anaplasma phagocytophilum / isolation & purification; Animals; North Carolina; Prevalence; Ursidae / microbiology
TL;DR: Anaplasma phagocytophilum was detected by DNA amplification in whole blood from free-ranging, hunter-killed American black bears from the east coast of North Carolina, US and no DNA of other Anaplasma or Ehrlichia spp. (via Semantic Scholar)
