About
Bridget Baker is a professor associated with the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Florida, specializing in comparative, diagnostic, and population medicine within the marine animal health field. Her work involves responding to distressed, injured, or deceased marine mammals and sea turtles along Florida’s Nature Coast through the UF Marine Animal Rescue (UFMAR) program. Her responsibilities include overseeing marine animal stranding responses, conducting necropsies to determine causes of death, and supporting research efforts aimed at understanding marine species health and environmental impacts. She plays a key role in promoting awareness, education, and understanding of marine animal and environmental health, contributing to the interconnected health benefits of marine species, people, and the environment, consistent with the One Health approach.

articleOpen accessTriclosan, triclocarban and 4-nonylphenol are all chemicals of emerging concern found in a wide variety of consumer products that have exhibited a wide range of endocrine-disrupting effects and are present in increasing amounts in groundwater worldwide. Results of the present study indicate that exposure to these chemicals at critical developmental periods, whether long-term or short-term in duration, leads to significant mortality, morphologic, behavioral and transcriptomic effects in zebrafish…

articleOpen accessUrban environments are afflicted by mixtures of anthropogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOC sources that drive human exposure include vehicle exhaust, industrial emissions, and oil spillage. The highly volatile VOC benzene has been linked to adverse health outcomes. However, few studies have focused on the later-in-life effects of low-level benzene exposure during the susceptible window of early development. Transcriptomic responses during embryogenesis have potential long-term conseque…
Facts about Wildlife Diseases: Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI)
EDIS · 2023-02-09 · 2 citations
articleOpen access1st authorCorrespondingAvian influenza is a highly contagious respiratory virus that circulates globally among wild birds. As of July 2022, H5N1 has spread quickly in the United States, killing wild birds in more than 40 states and impacting more than 60 species. While lethal to many bird and some mammal species, the current circulating strain is not particularly infectious in humans. Nonetheless, basic precautions are still warranted, particularly for those people in contact with wild birds via hunting or the use of…
