Summary edit

Description	A prairie dog pokes its head out of its burrow at the Meeteetse Ferret Recovery site after wildlife professionals from the U.S. Department of Agriculture-Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service’s Wildlife Services program spray the hole with Delta-dust, a white powder insecticide, to help stop the spread of the lethal sylvatic plague, a non-native disease transmitted by infected fleas. Delta-dust kills fleas which can help manage the spread of plague, in Meeteetse, Wyoming on June 6, 2017. Prairie dogs are vital to the survival to one of North America’s most endangered mammals, the black-footed ferret. USDA photo by Jeanine Neskey
