With more than 34 years of experience in the USDA Wildlife Services Program, Mike shares his deep knowledge of how different agencies—and landowners themselves play a role in managing disease outbreaks across Texas.

The conversation covers everything from zoonotic diseases to endemic vs. foreign animal threats, and takes a closer look at illnesses like rabies, anthrax, avian influenza, and more. Mike also unpacks how invasive species such as feral hogs and exotic animals complicate disease control, and why early detection and surveillance by landowners are so important.
