Molecular detection of in endometrial biopsies of mares from western Canada.

is a reported cause of infertility and endometritis in sheep, cattle, and pigs; however, the association between uterine disease and is poorly understood in horses. Recently, a high prevalence of in equine aborted chorioallantoises was reported in horses in western Canada. Based on this high prevalence, investigation into the effects of on infertility and endometritis in western Canadian mares is prudent.

Reaching Diverse Communities During a Local Public Health COVID-19 Vaccination Response Through a Mobile Clinic Compared to Mass Vaccination Sites.

During the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, local public health agencies were responsible for vaccinating a wide variety of communities. Dakota County Public Health (Dakota County, Minnesota) implemented a program that offered COVID-19 vaccines in a variety of settings, such as county public health buildings, community sites, in-home, mass vaccination clinics, and a mobile clinic unit. The purpose of this analysis is to compare the demographics of vaccinations administered at Dakota County COVID-19 vaccination clinics based on clinic site.
