$275 Matching Donation - Now through Sunday                
 
Great news! An anonymous conservation-oriented organization has offered to match all donations up to $275 that we bring in through Sunday at midnight!
 Now through the weekend, your pledges will be doubled! Your $20 pledge is now worth $40. Your $50 pledge is worth $100.
If you've been waiting to donate, now is the time to get the most bang for your buck. 
To earn the full match, we need to raise our total pledges by $275. When we get to that intermediate goal, our anonymous backer will donate another $275! Help us get there by making a small pledge and asking your friends to do the same.

About This Project

Are coyotes contributing to the spread Rocky Mountain spotted fever in Arizona?

Northern Arizona University

Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) is a tick-borne bacterial infection that can cause permanent disability or death in humans, with a case fatality rate up to 28% untreated. In 2003, RMSF moved into Arizona, where it is vectored by the brown dog tick (Rhipicephalus sanguineus).

We would like to determine whether coyotes develop antibodies for RMSF - indicating that they are affected by the disease - and investigate whether they facilitate the dispersal of RMSF-infected ticks.
