Modeling the distribution and abundance of the non-native parasite, canine heartworm, in California coyotes

Article Abstract:

A habitat-modeling approach with the help of logistic regression is applied for predicting the distribution and abundance of the canine heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis) in coyotes (Canis latrans) throughout California, USA. The model worked as a useful guide to study the relative risk of heartworm exposure.

Resource utilization and interspecific relations of sympatric bobcats and coyotes

Article Abstract:

Research on interactions between coyote and bobcat populations indicates that the two species use habitat resources independently with few negative interactions. This finding appears to be linked to fundamental niche differences rather than competition-related partitioning.

A long-term study of non-native-heartworm transmission among coyotes in a Mediterranean ecosystem

Article Abstract:

The roles of temperature, precipitation and vector abundance as determinants of transmission of non-native canine heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis) are investigated. Precipitation is the driving force for the determination of annual transmission.
