CALS Research Minute: Jim Adelman on Bird Feeders and Disease Transmission
To understand disease transmission among birds, Jim Adelman, natural resource ecology and management, studies the role of bird feeders in spreading an eye infection similar to pink eye in humans. His discoveries will help reduce the spread of the disease and provide insights into how pathogens are shared across species, even in our own backyards. Watch the CALS Research Minute video.
