(2/4) Dr. Guragain's research perfectly exemplifies the #OneHealth model and shows how bacteria in animals isn't just an animal-only issue.

(4/4) Studying #UTIs in wild animals helps us map how these 🦠 move between species and environments, especially in fragmented or urbanized landscapes.
This in turn helps inform policies to avoid spillover events (🐭🔄🚶♀️🐕) and help us coexist with our wild neighbors.
