Interactions between population dynamics, body condition and infectious diseases (cowpox virus and Mycobacterium microti) of wild rodents

2001-01-01

Abstract excerpt

A laboratory method for body condition (BCS) scoring was modified to supplement the use of body weight (BW) whenevaluating the general condition of small rodents under field conditions. BCS was found to be significantly related to an individual animal's diet, and as such, was used to monitor the changing condition of rodents subject to varying degrees of nutritional stress through diet manipulation. BCS provided a...
