Population dynamics and behavior of bighorn sheep with infectious keratoconjunctivitis
Article Abstract:
The influence of epizootic on abundance and demographics and the effect of infectious keratoconjunctivitis (IKC) on the mortality, behavior and movements of bighorn sheep are examined. High mortality is found in bighorn sheep infected with infectious keratoconjuctivitis, especially in adult female population, and it is caused by starvation and predation in the diseased population.

Drug treatment for lungworm in bighorn sheep: reevaluation of a 20-year-old management prescription
Article Abstract:
Annual parasite treatment is not essential for adequate lamb survival among southcentral Colorado's wild bighorn sheep populations. Managers must balance the potential benefits of baiting and treatment against the costs of such actions.
