The \u201cBurrows' hypothesis\u201d postulated that stress induced by research\u2010related immobilization and handling reactivated a latent rabies virus, eliminating the population. Insufficient data inhibited hypothesis testing, but since wild dogs persisted alongside SNP and have been studied since 2005, the hypothesis can be tested 25\u00a0years after its proposition. To be supported, wild dog immobilization interventions should have resulted in high mortality rates. However, 87.6% of 121 handled wild dogs (2006\u20132016) survived &gt;12\u00a0months post\u2010handling. Some argued that viral reactivation would necessitate long\u2010term stress. Following immobilization, 67 animals were captured, transported, and held in a translocation enclosure. Despite the longer\u2010term stress, 95.5% survived &gt;12\u00a0months. Furthermore, the stable number of wild dog packs in the ecosystem over the past decade, and lack of recolonization of SNP, strongly oppose Burrows' hypothesis. Instead, factors such as heightened levels of interspecific competition are likely to have contributed to the wild dog disappearance and subsequent avoidance of the Serengeti plains. Handling and radio telemetry are invaluable when studying elusive endangered species, yielding information pertinent to their conservation and management, and had no effect on Serengeti wild dog survival.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ece3.4798","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,26]],"date-time":"2018-12-26T13:15:10Z","timestamp":1545830110000},"page":"1110-1118","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["No evidence of handling\u2010induced mortality in Serengeti's African wild dog population"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3918-1721","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Craig R.","family":"Jackson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA) Trondheim Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emmanuel H.","family":"Masenga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute (TAWIRI) Arusha Tanzania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ernest E.","family":"Mjingo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute (TAWIRI) Arusha Tanzania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0003-1435","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrew B.","family":"Davies","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Global Ecology Carnegie Institution for Science Stanford California"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7535-9574","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Frode","family":"Foss\u00f8y","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA) Trondheim Norway"},{"name":"Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute (TAWIRI) Arusha Tanzania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert D.","family":"Fyumagwa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute (TAWIRI) Arusha Tanzania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0262-8443","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eivin","family":"R\u00f8skaft","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) Trondheim Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6580-4064","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roel F.","family":"May","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA) Trondheim Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7589\/0090-3558-30.4.481"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.1500664112"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/359277a0"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","unstructured":"Burrows R.(2011).Invasive research reduced longevity and mortality in an endangered species the African wild dog (Lycaon pictus).
