Migratory Bird Health and Conservation in the Northeast: This announcement solicits proposals for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS's) Avian Health and Disease Program. Recurring common eider mortality events have been occurring along the inner coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts from 1998-2011. Common eiders are a USFWS Focal Species, and Cape Cod/Nantucket Sound represents an area in which a large number of common eiders are known to migrate through, stage and overwinter. Agencies and universities have been working collaboratively with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S.D.A. Wildlife Services and the National Park Service to determine the cause of mortality and the potential implications to common eider populations. During FY11, veterinary diagnostic laboratories have determined the cause of mortality to be a previously unidentified orthomyxovirus, which has tentatively been named the Wellfleet Bay Virus (WFBV) for the location along Cape Cod in which the die-off events are concentrated. To date, common eiders are the only species to have documented disease associated with WFBV. Ongoing and proposed research to address this emerging disease issue includes several concurrent investigations. Please see attachment for a full description of the program objectives and instructions for application.
