Establishment of ecological monitoring system based on the prevalence of vector borne pathogens

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Biological detection of environmental effect by climate change was attempted by referring the prevalence of avian vector borne disease as biomarkers. Prevalence of pathogens was revealed among wild and captive birds and vector arthropods in Japan in detail and area specific genotypes of the pathogens were also found. Those specific genotypes can be markers and continued monitoring of the prevalence in those monitoring sites could contribute to detect some changes of environmental status.
