Project T-104-R2

​Project Title: Phase 2: Assessing Wellness in Wildlife Herptile Species in Greatest Need of Conservation

Community and/or Species Focus: Reptiles and Amphibians

1. Identify at least 5 herptile species in four separate campaigns in consultation with campaign leads that fit the criteria of sample size, number of population, and current natural history data
2. Establish baseline health profiles for the SGCN identified in Job 1
3. Assess the occurrence of emerging or ongoing infectious diseases in SGCN
4. Provide progress reports and technical resource training

1. ​Established baseline prevalence of common DNA pathogens in new species
2. Investigated mortality events in SGCN as they occurred
3. Technical resource training in disease detection and response
4. Characterized general health of species in the three campaigns
