Digestive tract contents were identified to provide an account of Burmese python diet. Diet contents came from 1716 pythons collected by cooperators during 1995-2020 from public and private lands across southern Florida, primarily within the Greater Everglades Ecosystem. Burmese pythons consumed 76 species of fauna across three taxonomic classes (Aves, Mammalia, and Reptilia).

The presence of serpentoviruses in Burmese pythons (Python bivittatus) and native snakes were collected and compiled to characterize serpentovirus in wild free-ranging pythons and free-ranging native snakes within the invasive range of the pythons in southern Florida. Virus presence was tested in 318 pythons and 219 Native snakes, primarily within the Greater Everglades Ecosystem of south Florida. When available, variables collected from submitted samples used for analysis included sampling date, sampling season (Summer/Fall/Winter/Spring), capture date, sample number (if tested more than once), reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rtPCR) result (positive/negative), virus type (categorical), sex (male/female),...
