This meeting brings together wildlife specialists of different disciplines from 39 dif- ferent nations covering all continents to discuss and talk about “Wildlife health and conservation challenges in a changing world”. The selected main topics “Wildlife health – emerging diseases”, “Wildlife conservation & management”, “Causes and consequences of anthropogenic environmental changes” and a “Special focus: Neglected host species” are envisioned as a base for stimulating and creative dis- cussions and to pave the way for new ideas and international as well as interdisci- plinary collaborations. The conference is preceded by the EWDA Wildlife Health Surveillance Network Meeting followed by a number of workshops, which will hopefully already tune everybody into a productive and joyful atmosphere. More than 190 scientific con- tributions were submitted for the main conference and to allow enough time to all participants whose submission did not fit into the oral presentation schedule to pre- sent their work, the poster session got its own format as a Poster Party with bever- ages and light food on Sunday evening. Every day’s programme will start with a plenary talk to introduce the session topic, except for the excursion day on Tuesday when we will leave at lunch to the Spreeforest biosphere reserve located 1.5 hours south of Berlin – where also the EWDA Auction will take place. These proceedings contain in their first section the abstracts of oral presentations including the abstracts of invited plenary speakers, followed by the abstracts for poster presentations. Abstracts were printed as submitted. To help you to find abstracts of interest we have included an index of first authors, a taxonomic index, and an index of keywords at the end of the volume. We thank the Conference Scientific Committee for their help in the preparation of the conference and its scientific programme. We are very grateful to the organisers of the workshops and the session chairs as well as to all the colleagues who have kindly reviewed all submitted contributions.

For the past six years, the PREDICT Project of the US Emerging Pandemic Threats Program has been using a One Health approach to standardise surveillance for zoonotic viruses in key wildlife species where spillover events to humans and livestock are likely. Currently active in over 30 countries of Africa and Asia, a global network of wildlife professionals has come together for horizontal and vertical capacity strengthening activities that push field surveillance and laboratory activities closer to where the action is: the developing country settings. With a primary focus on primates, bats, and rodents, the One Health teams are working at key interfaces associated with land conversion, animal production systems, and animal value chain to conduct aligned surveillance in wildlife, livestock, and humans. In the past five years, the PREDICT consortium has sampled over 56,000 wild animals, detected more than 800 novel viruses, and trained over 2,500 people around the globe. Because the project has focused on viral emergence from wildlife in remote areas in some of the most resource-constrained countries, we have by necessity developed a more sustainable approach to viral discovery and diagnosis of mystery illnesses that we have implemented across broad socioeconomic contexts. Employing simultaneous multiple-genus and family level consensus PCR, we have been able to quickly and accurately identify novel viruses, previously undiagnosed as potential pathogens, for further characterisation. Combining cutting-edge surveillance techniques with practical implementation of integrated One Health approaches, the global health community has contributed significantly to inexpensive diagnostic improvements that can benefit wildlife, livestock, and humans, while also realising step-wise improvement in the global knowledge of wildlife virology and the health infrastructure that is essential for early detection and response to outbreaks. 6 Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research (IZW) 12th Conference of the European Wildlife Disease Association (EWDA), Berlin 2016 Viruses in water: herpesviruses remain stable and infectious for up three weeks DAYARAM ANISHA1, FRANZ MATHIAS1, SCHATTSCHNEIDER ALEXANDER1, DAMIANI M ARMANDO2, BISCHOFBERGER SEBASTIAN2, OSTERRIEDER NIKOLAUS2, GREENWOOD ALEX D1 1Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research (IZW), Dept. of Wildlife Diseases, Alfred-Kowalke-Str. 17, 10315 Berlin, GERMANY; [email protected] 2Freie Universität Berlin, Institut für Virologie, Robert-von-Ostertag-Str. 7-13, 14163 Berlin, GERMANY The stability of viruses in aquatic environments has been a contentious issue for many years.

Food availability, weather, photoperiod and Seasonality endogenous factors relevant to the biological cycle of individuals have been shown as major drivers of temporal Foraging Activity changes in activity rhythms and group size/structure of herbivorous species. We evaluated how diurnal female Group size foraging activity and grouping patterns of a mountain herbivore, the Apennine chamois Rupicapra pyrenaica Rupicapra ornata, varied during a decreasing gradient of pasture availability along the summer-autumn progression Chamois (July–October), a crucial period for the life cycle of mountain ungulates. Mountain herbivores Females increased diurnal foraging activity, possibly because of constrains elicited by variation in environ- mental factors. Size of mixed groups did not vary, in contrast with the hypothesis that groups should be smaller when pasture availability is lower. Proportion of females in groups increased, possibly suggesting that they concentrated on patchily distributed nutritious forbs. Occurrence of yearlings in groups decreased, which may have depended on dispersal of chamois in this age class.

Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus type 1 (BVDV-1), now re-designated as Pestivirus BVDV-1 A, causes diseases mainly in cattle, while few data are available about infection in wild ruminants and about the Genetic typing role of these animals in viral maintenance and spread. In order to investigate BVDV-1 infection in domestic and Domestic and wild ruminants wild ruminants, especially at the wildlife/livestock interface, bulk tank milk from dairy cattle and sheep and Faeces spleen from red deer, roe deer and fallow deer were analysed. Furthermore, faecal samples from Apennine chamois and from wild deer were evaluated as a suitable sample for detecting and genotyping pestiviruses. BVDV-1 RNA was found in all animal species tested but not sheep. Genotyping based on partial 5′UTR and Npro sequences detected BVDV-1a in samples from Apennine chamois, red deer, roe deer and pasture-raised cattle, while BVDV-1c was found in a faecal sample from Apennine chamois and in a spleen sample from roe deer.

  • Seasonal Variation in Group Size of Cantabrian Chamois in Relation to Escape Terrain and Food
    Acta Theriologica 39 (3): 295-305,1994. PL ISSN 0001-7051' Seasonal variation in group size of Cantabrian chamois in relation to escape terrain and food F. Javier PÉREZ-BARBERÍA and Carlos NORES Pérez-Barbería F. J. and Ñores C. 1994. Seasonal variation in group size of Cantabrian chamois in relation to escape terrain and food. Acta theriol. 39: 295-305. The herd size of Cantabrian chamois Rupicapra pyrenaica parva (Cabrera, 1910) varied seasonally in relation to escape terrain and food availability in our study area (Asturias, north of Spain). The median group size of females without kids was 1 (mean ± SD = 1.62 ± 1.00), females with kids was 4 (5.59 ± 5.42), males was 1 (1.73 ± 1.78), and mixed group size was 7 (8.91 ± 7.91). The female-kid group size depended more on escape terrain availability than on food quality. Throughout the early weeks of the life of kids, the mothers remained in difficult access areas (cliffs and steep slopes), and showed a weak tendency to aggregate. These areas provided a wide visual range and hiding places for offspring and their use may be an anti-predation strategy. When the kids were able to run quickly, the mothers used subalpine meadows. These areas were very open and exposed kids to predation and human disturbance, however the forage has high nutritive value, and may compensate for the cost of breeding and suckling by the mothers. Aggregation may be selected as an anti-predation strategy in subalpine meadows, allowing a reduction in time spent vigilant by each individual in the group, and increased time available for other activities.

Simonds Sam Pooley Executive Director Acting Regional Administrator Telephone: (808) 522-8220 Telephone: (808) 973-2937 Abstract: The Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council has the responsibility to prepare a fishery management plan for any fishery requiring conservation and management in the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zones around the State of Hawai#i, the Territories of American Samoa and Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and the various islands and atolls known as the U.S. Pacific remote island areas. In 1986, a fishery management plan for the bottomfish and seamount groundfish fisheries in the Western Pacific Region was approved by the Secretary of Commerce. The plan has been amended six times, but until now there has not been a comprehensive environmental impact statement to assess the issues and management options for these fisheries. This environmental impact statement presents an overall picture of the environmental effects of existing fishery activities as conducted under the fishery management plan. It also evaluates the impacts of a range of reasonable management alternatives in order to characterize their relative environmental effects and provide a clear basis for choice among options by the public, the Council and the National Marine Fisheries Service. The analyses include assessments of the biological, economic and social impacts that would result from alternative regulatory regimes for management of the bottomfish and seamount groundfish fisheries in the Western Pacific Region.
