Sylvatic plague reduces genetic variability in black-tailed prairie dogs.

Journal of wildlife diseases - 1 Apr 2004

Trudeau Kristie M, Britten Hugh B, Restani Marco

Abstract excerpt

Small, isolated populations are vulnerable to loss of genetic diversity through in-breeding and genetic drift. Sylvatic plague due to infection by the bacterium Yersinia pestis caused an epizootic in the early 1990s resullting in declines and extirpations of many black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) colonies in north-central Montana, USA. Plague-induced population bottlenecks may contribute to...
