Dear Marmam-ites, For teaching purposes, we would be interested in knowing of any good primary references or reviews you may have on interactions between aquatic birds and seals. We would notably be interested in ecological or statistical data (e.g. describing occurrence, frequency, duration, intensity, etc... of these interactions). Likewise, we would be interested in analogous data on interactions between seals and humans. This would help us inform discussions on opportunities for potential shared pathogens to circulate between these different types of hosts. We'll be most grateful if you can help ! With many thanks, Best wishes, Vincent Bourret Vincent Bourret, DVM --- CIDC - Dept. of Veterinary Medicine Madingley Road Cambridge CB3 0ES U.K. & Ecole Nationale Vétérinaire de Toulouse 23, chemin des Capelles 31 076 Toulouse France
