Abstract
Muskoxen are a key species of Arctic ecosystems and are important for food security and
socio-economic well-being of many Indigenous communities in the Arctic and Subarctic.
Between 2009 and 2014, the bacterium Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae was isolated for the
first time in this species in association with multiple mortality events in Canada and Alaska,
raising questions regarding the spatiotemporal occurrence of the pathogen and its potential
impact on muskox populations.
