Data were collected both by focal animal sampling [41] of gesturers and non-gesturers, and by behavioral sampling [40] of the gesture itself.
Farm owners' consent was obtained before animal sampling.
Data were collected using instantaneous focal animal sampling [ 54].
Ad lib grooming interactions were collected throughout the monitoring visit while observers were carrying out focal animal sampling.
We began our review using 'animal'wildlifeife', and 'Ebola' as ISI Web of Knowledge search terms for reports of animal sampling efforts associated with outbreaks.
These figures do not include only true pedigree errors, but could also result from animal sampling errors and from mixing up samples during analyses.
Some of the first EHF outbreak animal sampling efforts targeted a wide range of vertebrates and arthropods, but analysis of the samples consistently failed to detect EBOV.
However, the design of effective monkeypox control measures in Sankuru will require additional animal sampling to validate that rope squirrels are a reservoir and disconfirm that other mammals in the same habitat are equally important reservoirs.
To determine how human-animal interface rankings compared to ongoing animal sampling efforts, the project scientists were asked to list the high-priority interfaces that were important for zoonotic pathogen surveillance in wildlife in each country.
Our analysis focused on animal sampling strategies associated with human EHF outbreak investigations to identify potential sources of EBOV spillover into humans and other animals, which may further propagate transmission cycles.
The 50 cc/min odorant vapor from the saturator tube was manifolded with 1950 cc/min of clean air before being introduced to the sampling port and, therefore, the odor concentration delivered to the animal sampling port was approximately 2.5% of the concentration of the headspace above the liquid odorant.
