christy morrissey is also finding high levels of wetland contamination. she focuses her research in canada's breadbasket, the prairie pothole region of saskatchewan, where agricultural land is laced with potholes, small temporary ponds fed by snowmelt and rain. >> in 2013 we found up to 90% of the ponds that we sampled in spring, even before the farmers were out seeding, had detectable levels of neonics in them. but our peak concentrations occurred after seeding, not surprising, particularly after rainfall events, at levels that were, you know, upwards of, uh, 3 parts per billion, which is well known to affect aquatic insects. >> with over 40% of the cropland in canada's prairies treated with neonicotinoids, the impact on aquatic insects and the animals that rely on them for food could be significant. dr. morrissey's study is the first to look into this issue in canada. >> we have a field study that's trying to understand how neonicotinoids potentially get into wetlands and whether or not they affect aquatic invertebrates, which are the base of the food c

dr rachelle morrissey. doctor good to see you. thank you for the time. do you think you are seeing this sharp increase in the number of sick cats and kittens? we're not sure it's just been unusual that we've had several infections happening at the same time. you know, we had this kitten here. howard had ringworm, which is a contagious fungal infection that causes harry watson kitties that we see fairly commonly. but in addition to that, we've got him. the patina coronavirus, the number of viruses one on top of each other. we aren't sure for tax, perhaps with the rain. maybe more of the cats were indoors or closer together, and that led to more spread, since a lot of these are airborne or spread with close contact was wondering if that might have been a factor. so what steps are you taking to try to prevent the spread? yes so this is definitely a lot of these diseases are preventable by vaccines like policy virus and camera kapini, a part of the standard fdr cp vaccines. we really recommend people even if your cats inside a lot of this can be transmitted.
