UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. By modeling wolves in Yellowstone National Park, researchers have discovered that how a population is organized into social groups affects the spread of infectious diseases within the population. The findings may be applicable to any social species and could be useful in the protection of endangered species that suffer from disease invasion.
Like other social carnivores, wolves tend to form territorial social groups that are often aggressive toward each other and may lead to fatalities. During these encounters, infectious diseases like mange and canine distemper can spread between groups, which can further reduce the number of individuals in a group.

The subject of Tasmania’s AFL expansion bid goes back 30 years to when the league was founded and it’s popped up in the news yet again.
This time, the Tasmanian government have given the AFL an ultimatum.
The AFL must give Tasmania a date for entry to the league, or the state government will end its lucrative multimillion-dollar funding deals to Hawthorn and North Melbourne. The risk, however, is that the AFL could look at their spreadsheets and reply, “computer says no.” In fact, the AFL have already told Tasmania in response that they need another year to establish the feasibility of a team because of the financial impact of COVID-19.

In Peter Hudson, the goalkicking machine from the sleepy town of New Norfolk, there lives an almost unwavering bond between Tasmania and the Hawthorn football club.
Today, that bond was celebrated when a statue dedicated to the footballing giant was unveiled in his hometown.
With family and old friends present, Hudson spoke of his unwavering love for the small town he was born and raised in, and the honour he felt to have been immortalised in bronze in its city centre.
1/1 A CORONER said the death of a Weymouth teenager who contracted a virus which led to glandular fever and sepsis was an extremely tragic and rare death , an inquest heard. But the coroner concluded the care Toby James Hudson received did not contribute to his death. The inquest had heard on its first day that Toby had called a GP surgery 25 times to try and get an appointment after becoming ill, and he did not receive medical care until two days later. University student Toby, aged 19, of Belfield Park Drive, died on July 4, 2019 after being rushed to Dorset County Hospital when his condition deteriorated.
