Assembling a safe and effective toolbox for integrated flea control and plague mitigation: Fipronil experiments with prairie dogs.
<h4>Background</h4>Plague, a widely distributed zoonotic disease of mammalian hosts and flea vectors, poses a significant risk to ecosystems throughout much of Earth. Conservation biologists use insecticides for flea control and plague mitigation. Here, we evaluate the use of an insectic...
