TL;DR: Trapping studies were conducted at four geographically separate and ecologically distinct regions in Wisconsin to elucidate the distribution and host preferences of Ixodes dammini on small and medium sized mammals, and the occurrence of antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in these wild mammals.

Experimental inoculation of Peromyscus spp. with Borrelia burgdorferi: evidence of contact transmission.
TL;DR: Findings show that B. burgdorferi can be transmitted by direct contact without an arthropod vector.

Borreliosis in Free-ranging Black Bears from Wisconsin
TL;DR: This is the first report of borreliosis in the Ursidae, and of the primary vector of Lyme disease, I. dammini, from this host.

Susceptibility of the gray wolf (Canis lupus) to infection with the Lyme disease agent, Borrelia burgdorferi.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the wolf is susceptible to infection by B. burgdorferi and that wolves are being infected in the wild.

Experimental mycoplasma gallisepticum infections in captive-reared wild turkeys
TL;DR: E egg production during the first breeding season after infection was reduced, Hatchability of fertile eggs from infected hens was significantly lower than eggs from control hens, and Productivity may be impaired if MG infections occur in free-ranging wild turkey populations.
