“…BACKGROUND: In 2013, sarcoptic mange, caused by Sarcoptes scabiei mites, precipitated a catastrophic decline of the formerly stable urban population of endangered San Joaquin kit foxes (Vulpes macrotis mutica) in Bakersfield, California, USA. In 2019, a smaller sarcoptic mange outbreak affected kit foxes 58 km southwest of Bakersfield in the town of Taft, California. …”

“…SIMPLE SUMMARY: A population of endangered San Joaquin kit foxes inhabits the urban environment in the city of Bakersfield, California, United States. Non-native red foxes, a larger competitor, also occur in Bakersfield and are a potential threat to kit foxes. …”

“…Adjustable rate mortgages and the downturn in the California housing market caused a 300% increase in notices of delinquency in Bakersfield, Kern County. This led to large numbers of neglected swimming pools, which were associated with a 276% increase in the number of human West Nile virus cases during the summer of 2007.…”

“…In April-August 2018, samples of galled roots with rhizosphere soil were collected from almond orchards in Atwater, Merced County and Bakersfield, Kern County, California. Almond trees (Prunus dulcis) grafted on ‘Hansen 536’ and ‘Brights Hybrid(®)5’ (peach-almond hybrid) rootstocks showed strong symptoms of growth decline. …”

“…Bacteria were isolated from soil samples obtained near Bakersfield, California. Subsequently, pairwise challenge assays with bacterial pure cultures were initially performed against Uncinocarpus reesii, a non-pathogenic relative of C. immitis on media plates. …”

“…In our project, we chose a three-step approach to investigate this niche: 1) We examined Landsat-5-Thematic-Mapper multispectral images of our ROI by using training pixels at a 750 m×750 m section of Sharktooth Hill, a site confirmed to be a C. immitis growth site, to implement a Maximum Likelihood Classification scheme to map out the locations that could be suitable to support the growth of the pathogen; 2) We used the websoilsurvey database of the US Department of Agriculture to obtain soil parameter data; and 3) We investigated soil samples from 23 sites around Bakersfield, California using a multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) based method to detect the pathogen. …”

“…Statistically significant differences in ARGs were identified in soil, where differences in bla(SHV) gene copies were the most striking; the highest copy numbers were observed in Bakersfield (6.0 × 10(–2) copies/16S-rRNA gene copies and 2.6 × 10(6) copies/g of soil), followed by San Diego (1.8 × 10(–3) copies/16S-rRNA gene copies and 3.0 × 10(4) copies/g of soil), Fresno (1.8 × 10(–5) copies/16S-rRNA gene copies and 8.5 × 10(2) copies/g of soil), and Los Angeles (5.8 × 10(–6) copies/16S-rRNA gene copies and 5.6 × 10(2) copies/g of soil). …”
