01/08/2025: Our manuscript on the genetic diversity of Trichinella nativa in wolverines from Churchill, MB was accepted to Journal of Wildlife Diseases. Thanks to Maya (BSc summer research assistant) for all her work in generating the DNA sequences, analyzing the data, and drafting the manscript. The project wouldn't have existed without  Ash (MSc 2019-2021) initiating the project, creating a collaboration with the Assiniboine Park Conservancy, and obtaining the larvae from all those tongues. Stay tuned for the final paper!
