- Additional Information on Eligibility
- This is a single source award to University of South Dakota, Vermillion, South Dakota. The PI is uniquely qualified to conduct the study. He developed a novel DNA approach to identify the paque bacterium in the host fleas. His method can not only identify plaque in the environment, but they have the potential to predict plaque epizootics. The PI has also successfully amplified eight microsatellite loci in black-tailed prairie dogs and he has use microstatellite primers from the hen flea to amplify microsatellites in the prairie dog flea. The PI is currently the only one conducting this type of work and he has the baseline information, equipment and experience necessary to efficiently conduct the work in the parks in the proposed study. The PI has years of field experience in Montana conducting similar studies.
