Anytime a wildlife disease story gets covered in mainstream news media, we get excited!  In January 2022, a news story about Skunk Adenovirus 1 causing mortality in porcupines caught our attention.  In this episode, we chat with Dr. David Needle, senior pathologist at the New Hampshire Veterinary Diagnostic Lab and the first person to diagnose Skunk Adenovirus 1 in the U.S. Since then, he’s been studying this emerging wildlife disease as it keeps popping up in different species.   Links!
