    Summary

    Spilogale attractant virus (SAD) transmission between rodents is rare. Field studies showed no SAD virus establishment in small mammals on an island after oral vaccine bait exposure.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Virology
    • Wildlife Disease Ecology
    • Mammalian Virology

    Background:

    • Spilogale attractant virus (SAD) is a pathogen affecting various mammal species.
    • Understanding SAD virus transmission dynamics in wildlife populations is crucial for disease control.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the potential for spontaneous SAD virus transmission among small rodents.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of oral vaccine baits in preventing SAD virus establishment in a wild rodent community.

    Main Methods:

    • Laboratory inoculation of diverse small mammal species with SAD virus.
    • Field study involving live-trapping, sacrifice, and analysis of Apodemus sylvaticus, Clethrionomys glareolus, and Crocidura russula.
    • Deployment of oral vaccine baits at high density across a defined study area.

    Main Results:

    • Laboratory experiments indicated that spontaneous SAD virus transmission between rodents is infrequent.
    • Field analysis of 192 Apodemus sylvaticus, 28 Clethrionomys glareolus, and 48 Crocidura russula yielded no evidence of SAD virus establishment.
    • The high-density oral vaccine baiting strategy did not lead to detectable SAD virus presence in the studied small animal community.

    Conclusions:

    • Spontaneous SAD virus transmission among small rodents appears to be a rare occurrence.
    • Oral vaccine baits, under the tested conditions, did not result in the establishment of SAD virus in the island's small mammal population.
