TL;DR: Most pup deaths at Guafo Island are generated by extrinsic factors; therefore, additional studies that assess the impact of environmental changes and fishing activities are needed in order to determine the exact causes of the decline of this species along Chilean coasts.

TL;DR: In October 2004, 41 goats >2 years old from a Saanen dairy goat herd located in Purranque County, 10th Region, Chile, were sampled and tested for paratuberculosis.

TL;DR: Although the rabbit population studied in Scotland appears to function as a Map reservoir, the hares studied in Chile appear to be a dead-end host, serving only as potential mechanical vectors for the organism.

TL;DR: Findings suggest that the initial burden of larval infection, the level of the host tissue response, or a combination determine the number of nematodes in the intestine, the severity of hookworm tissue damage, and pup mortality.

TL;DR: A range of pathological findings is within what would be expected in a healthy otariid breeding colony, particularly in animals that died from trauma.
