writing 60! A student hoping to learn more about animal research (especially Ornithology)! :))

@w60animalfacts congrats to that dog!

[auds :) @auds_2788]

@w60animalfacts aw so cute :)

[auds :) @auds_2788]

@CanineBarkBark this is great news!

[auds :) @auds_2788]

@timanimal12 this is terrible! I hope this is fixed soon!

[auds :) @auds_2788]

@rceen_research I had no idea!

[auds :) @auds_2788]

@RScholin42753 Me too! It is definitely a really good tool!

[auds :) @auds_2788]

@RScholin42753 sounds interesting!

@animallover1376 Dogfighting is so inhumane! I'm glad that its outlawed but it sucks that its still happening

[auds :) @auds_2788]

@asapshb Aw the picture is so cute

[auds :) @auds_2788]

@moeppingUCI Yay! This is great to hear :)

[auds :) @auds_2788]

@bassdognotfish This is so sad! I've definitively heard of beagles being adopted from labs but hopefully they can do that more often

In order to reduce the risk of mosquito-borne illnesses like the WNV, the Health Department of New York was given the greenlight to start applying EPA-approved pesticides to nonresidential mosquito breeding sites when appropriate throughout the season

"Although it seems impossible to even make a dent in preventing things as big as the West Nile virus, everyone has a part to play and without collective action, the planet is truly doomed."

"climate change often causes abnormal weather patterns, in certain places this manifests as warmer temperatures and increased humidity. Such weather conditions provide the perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes, a large carrier of the West Nile Virus."

"Often the WNV begins in a mosquito which in many cases bites a bird or is eaten by one, infecting it." From here the bird now can unknowingly transport the virus far and wide.

Did you know that although humans are impacted by the West Nile Virus or WNV, a species at high risk of catching the infection are corvids?

Another thing I learned was about website design and how to best navigate that. It was also helpful to peer review and see other peoples' websites as well.

I learned about how to use sites like google scholar to find research articles. It is also especially helpful to use specific key words and to click onto similar articles or sources that have been linked or referenced.

I also learned about how to help in fighting the West Nile virus. This can be done by preventing mosquito populations from getting too out of control.

I learned about the impact that climate change plays in mosquito-borne illnesses such as the West Nile virus. Due to the increase in temperatures of some places, the mosquito population is on the rise enabling them to spread the WNV far and wide.
