    2014 CVM News: Toxic algae blooms cause illness, death in dogs
    Office of Marketing and Communications. Media Relations (Cornell University, College of Veterinary Medicine, 2014-11-04)
    This news item from the Cornell Chronicle is about: Dogs are known to play, swim and lap up water in lakes and ponds, but these simple joys can lead to illness and even fatal poisoning when harmful algae blooms muck up the water. If after playing in still water, a dog starts vomiting, has tremors and becomes lethargic, the pet may have been poisoned by toxic algae. In severe cases, dogs can show symptoms within minutes and die within an hour of exposure. As a result, Cornell experts recommend keeping dogs on leashes around potentially algae-ridden water and preventing them from ingesting toxic scum off the water, the beach or themselves.

    2014 CVM News: Canine parvovirus found in wild carnivores in U.S.
    Office of Marketing and Communications. Media Relations; Krishnamoothy, Sushmitha (Cornell University, College of Veterinary Medicine, 2014-11-06)
    This news item from the Cornell Chronicle is about: When canine parvovirus first emerged in 1978, it caused a global pandemic in which hundreds of thousands of dogs are thought to have died. Since then, the virus has occasionally shown up in wild animals, but these were considered a result of small-scale spillovers from dog populations. A new study by Andrew Allison and Colin Parrish of the Baker Institute for Animal Health in the College of Veterinary Medicine and others shows that many wild carnivores actually carry the virus, and that it is relatively easy for a parvovirus from a wild carnivore to adapt to life in a dog and vice versa.
