Polar bears as a sentinel for emerging wildlife zoonoses with implications for public health in Alaska, southern Beaufort Sea, (2007-2014)
This project analyzed serum and plasma samples from the southern Beaufort Sea polar bear population from 2007 to 2014 to determine the current and past prevalence of diseases (Brucella spp., C. burnetii, and T. gondii) and exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs). The data provided informati...
