Article Synopsis
- Translocating endangered wildlife, like the takahe bird in New Zealand, to new environments could lead to unexpected problems with pathogen spread and evolution, particularly with diseases such as Salmonella.
- In a study of nine takahe sub-populations, Salmonella was found only in one group on a private island, with a notable prevalence of 32%.
- The research showed there were environmental factors and reptiles contributing to this pathogen's existence, emphasizing the importance of genomic approaches in studying disease dynamics to better protect vulnerable wildlife.
