Wonder if the same fleas that affect prarie dogs will also be at home on them?

I wonder also, although I kind of doubt it. As predators, they maintain relatively low population densities and are typically the first to go extinct when things get weird.

Selection would favor pathogens that instead specialize for hosts that are hard to get rid of. Mice, cockroaches, prairie dogs...

How would reintroducing the black footed ferret reduce the plague ? It's not stated in that link.

Reducing prairie dog concentrations, and most often killing the weaker slower ones, which are likely infected and showing the most symptoms.

Reduces spread and increases evolutionary pressure to increase resistance and possibly even become immune.

Possibly by reducing prairie dog numbers and concentration

BFFs eat prairie dogs.

They reduce the density of prairie dogs.

Wouldn’t the end up floating into the air?

Where they are eaten by bald eagles. What more American solution could we ask for? I mean, aside from using the floating doggies for target practice.
