Opportunity Information: Apply for FWS R6 ES10CO0022
The government grant opportunity focuses on analyzing the effectiveness of a new systemic flea control insecticide, imidacloprid, for prairie dogs, which are suffering population declines due to plague outbreaks caused by Yersinia Pestis. These declines have raised concerns for several prairie dog species, some of which, like the Utah prairie dog, are federally threatened. Plague is increasingly spreading into areas previously unaffected, jeopardizing prairie dog populations and their dependents, particularly the endangered black-footed ferret.
Currently, the commonly used pesticide, Deltamethrin, is labor-intensive and costly, affecting non-target insect species as well. The proposed imidacloprid bait offers a more efficient and potentially less harmful alternative, having shown effectiveness in reducing flea loads significantly without negatively impacting other insect communities. The grant aims to evaluate the efficacy, application methods, bait acceptance, and duration of the flea control provided by imidacloprid through two objectives: 1) assessing its effectiveness in reducing flea abundance on wild prairie dogs; and 2) determining how long it can sustain reduced flea levels. Additional funding will depend on availability.Apply for FWS R6 ES10CO0022
