Abstract:
Life-table data from feral ferret populations in New Zealand were analysed to estimate their mortality rates, and to test for any additive effect of Mycobacterium bovis infection on observed mortality rates. The observed instantaneous mortality rate was best estimated by modelling mortality as a 2-phase step model with different rates for juveniles (μ1 = 1.45 year–1, 95% C.I. 1.2–1.7 year–1) and adults (μ2 = 0.55 year–1, 95% C.I. 0.4–0.9 year–1). This corresponds to a survival probability of 0.25 during the first year of life, rising to 0.55 year–1 thereafter, and a life expectancy of 0.95 yea

Abstract:
As part of a longitudinal study of the epidemiology of rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) in New Zealand, serum samples were obtained from trapped feral animals that may have consumed European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) carcasses (non-target species). During a 21-month period when RHDV infection was monitored in a defined wild rabbit population, 16 feral house cats (Felis catus), 11 stoats (Mustela erminea), four ferrets (Mustela furo) and 126 hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) were incidentally captured in the rabbit traps. The proportions of samples that were seropositive to RHDV were

Abstract:
Ferret (Mustela furo) control programs, especially those attempting to prevent the spread of Mycobacterium bovis (Tb), would greatly benefit from practical knowledge of ferret ecology and behaviour. This study had two main objectives: firstly, to investigate ferret ecology by examining ferret abundance, survival, trapping success, and diet; and, secondly, to investigate ferret behaviour and activity patterns by using an acoustically sensitive transmitter system (ASTS). Abundance and survival estimates of ferrets tagged with passive integrated transponders (PITs), showed a marked seasonal varia

Abstract:
This thesis is about making inference on the host status of feral ferrets in New Zealand for Mycobacterium bovis, the aetiological agent of bovine tuberculosis. The central question addressed is whether the rate of intra-specific transmission of M. bovis among ferrets is sufficient for the disease to persist in ferret populations in the absence of external, non-ferret sources of infection (inter-specific transmission). The question is tackled in three parts�firstly using model selection to identify suitable models for estimating the force of M. bovis infection in ferret populations; secondly a

Abstract:
Neuronal plasticity deficits underlie many of the neurobehavioral problems seen in Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). Recently, we showed that third trimester alcohol exposure lead to a persistent disruption in ocular dominance (OD) plasticity. For instance, few days of monocular deprivation results in a robust reduction of cortical regions responsive to the deprived eye in normal animals, but not in ferrets exposed early to alcohol. This plasticity deficit can be reversed if alcohol-exposed animals are treated with a phosphodiesterase type 1 (PDE1) inhibitor during the period of monocul

Abstract:
The human cerebral cortex undergoes folding from the 5th fetal month into the first post-natal year. Disturbances of folding have serious and lasting consequences, but the mechanism is not well understood. Van Essen [1] has hypothesized that axonal tension between strongly interconnected regions draws them together and induces outward folds. However, no direct measurements have confirmed this theory. As measures of shape, cortical curvature and sulcal depth changes during development can help provide insight into underlying mechanisms of growth.
