Eight of 73 beavers were seropositive for Leptospira spp. and 1\/49 seropositive for Toxoplasma gondii. Two of 40 beavers tested positive for Giardia spp., and 22\/44 beavers had strongyle-type ova in the feces; one was positive for coccidia. Hematologic variables were largely within published reference ranges for captive beavers. Within the specific ecosystems sampled, the disease prevalence in beavers appeared low; however, prophylactic deworming is recommended prior to translocation. Further, appropriate personal protective equipment should be used when handling beavers, to prevent zoonotic infection with Giardia spp.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.7589\/jwd-d-22-00020","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,30]],"date-time":"2022-11-30T07:54:33Z","timestamp":1669794873000},"page":"902-908","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Health Screening of American Beavers (Castor canadensis) in Utah, USA"],"prefix":"10.7589","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"Annette","family":"Roug","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, 1596 West North Temple, Suite 2110, Salt Lake City, Utah 84116, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emma","family":"Doden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Wildland Resources, Utah State University, 5200 Old Main Hill, Logan, Utah 84322, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Teresa","family":"Griffin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, 1470 North Airport Road, Cedar City, Utah 84721, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julie","family":"Young","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Wildland Resources, Utah State University, 5200 Old Main Hill, Logan, Utah 84322, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xaela","family":"Walden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, 1596 West North Temple, Suite 2110, Salt Lake City, Utah 84116, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nate","family":"Norman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beaver Ecology and Relocation Center, Utah State University, 5205 Old Main Hill, Logan, Utah 84322, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Phaedra","family":"Budy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ecology Center, Utah State University, 5205 Old Main Hill, Logan, Utah 84322, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arnaud J.","family":"Van Wettere","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Veterinary Medicine and Utah Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, Utah State University, 950 East 1400 North, Logan, Utah 84341, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"4415","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"PA \u00c5hlen, G Sj\u00f6berg, M St\u00e9en,  \"Acta Vet Scand.\"  63, \"Parasitic fauna of Eurasian beavers (Castor fiber) in Sweden (1997\u20131998).\" 23 (2021)","DOI":"10.1186\/s13028-021-00588-w"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"JM Barbecho, DD Bowman, JL Liotta,  \"Parasit Vectors.\"  11, \"Comparative performance of reference laboratory tests and in-clinic tests for Giardia in canine feces.\" 444 (2018)","DOI":"10.1186\/s13071-018-2990-6"},{"key":"3","unstructured":"\"Beaver Ecology and Relocation Center homepage.\"  (2022)"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"E Doden, P Budy, T Avgar, et al.  \"Front Conserv Sci.\"  3, \"Movement patterns of resident and translocated beavers at multiple spatiotemporal scales in desert rivers.\" 777797 (2022)","DOI":"10.3389\/fcosc.2022.777797"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"JV Ernst, WL Cooper, MJ Frydendall,  \"J Parasitol.\"  56, \"Eimeria sprehni Yakimoff, 1934, and E. causeyi sp. n.
