The elimination of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense? Challenges of reservoir hosts and transmission cycles: Expect the unexpected

open access: yesParasite Epidemiology and Control, 2019
The World Health Organisation has set the goal for elimination of Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT), caused by Trypanosoma brucei gambiense (gHAT), as a public health problem for 2020 and for the total interruption of transmission to humans for 2030 ...

Monitoring African Megafauna in an Anthropogenic Landscape: A 15‐Year Case Study of the Vulnerable West African Giraffe

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
We used pattern recognition software to correct misidentifications in a 15‐year photographic database of the last, vulnerable West African giraffe population in Niger. After revealing substantial methodological errors that had inflated population estimates by nearly 19%, we corrected individual encounter histories and applied capture‐mark‐recapture ...

Helminths of saiga antelope (Saiga tatarica L.) in the “Askania Nova” Biosphere Reserve, Ukraine

open access: yesHelminthologia, 2015
Analysis of the species composition and community structure of helminths in saiga antelope (Saiga tatarica) was performed using multi-year (1979-2013) data collected from the “Askania Nova” Biosphere Reserve, Ukraine.

Distribution, scale, and drivers of mass mortality events in Europe's freshwater bivalves

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Mass mortality events (MMEs) are decimating populations and compromising key ecosystem functions around the globe. One taxon particularly vulnerable to MMEs is freshwater bivalve mollusks. This group has important ecosystem engineering capacities and includes highly threatened and highly invasive taxa.

An antelope trypanosome [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Containing Papers of a Biological Character, 1912
Ten days after blood of a bushbuck, which was shot on the shores of the Victoria Nyanza, had been injected into a healthy goat, trypanosomes appeared in the goat's blood. The same species of trypanosome was present in blood smears made from another bushbuck and a situtunga, which were shot in the same neighbourhood.

Validating habitat suitability assessments with post‐translocation animal movement data

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Wildlife translocations are essential for restoring species to their native habitats, and species distribution models (SDMs) have proven useful for identifying suitable habitats to guide this process. Validating model predictions with data from individual's post‐translocation, however, is rare due to the frequent lack of monitoring data from ...

Parasites of South African wildlife. XIX. The prevalence of helminths in some common antelopes, warthogs and a bushpig in the Limpopo province, South Africa

open access: yesOnderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 2011
Little work has been conducted on the helminth parasites of artiodactylids in the northern and western parts of the Limpopo province, which is considerably drier than the rest of the province.

Seed transfer models applied to commercial germplasms reveal trait divergence from wildland populations of a restoration grass species

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Due to the prevalence of local adaptation in plants, the provenance of seed sources can impact plant community restoration outcomes. Yet programs developing commercial germplasm releases often overlook local adaptation as a development criterion, leading to the selection of traits that may not support restoration success.

Safeguarding a Flagship Species: Integrated Surveillance of Cross‐Species Pathogen Transmission in Giant Panda Ecosystems

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Emerging infectious diseases increasingly threaten giant pandas and cohabiting species. This review analyzes pathogen transmission risks from domestic animals, wildlife, and vectors and proposes an integrated genomic surveillance framework for early warning and biodiversity conservation.
