Molecular Detection of Sarcocystis suihominis and Sarcocystis miescheriana in Wild Boars Hunted for Human Consumption in Poland Highlights a Potential Risk for the Consumer

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 8, Page 706-715, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Wild boars and domestic pigs can act as intermediate hosts for two Sarcocystis species: Sarcocystis miescheriana and the zoonotic Sarcocystis suihominis. Humans become infected with S. suihominis by eating raw or undercooked meat. Herein we investigated the occurrence of Sarcocystis spp.

Probiotics as a Strategy for Mitigating Viral Infections in Poultry: Immunomodulatory Mechanisms and Therapeutic Potential

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 6, November 2026.
Probiotics—particularly Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. casei and L. plantarum—may mitigate NDV, AIV and IBV infections by modulating immunity, supporting gut microbiome and barrier function, and enhancing vaccine responses, although stronger strain‐specific, safety, mechanistic and field‐based evidence is needed. ABSTRACT Poultry viral infections remain

Phylogenetic Analysis of the Most Common Chicken Coccidia, Eimeria acervulina, Isolated From Commercial Poultry Farms in Bangladesh

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 6, November 2026.
The ITS‐1 PCR assay detected 96.11% E. acervulina in coccidia‐positive faecal samples from commercial poultry farms. The sequence analysis revealed 15 genotypes and seven single‐nucleotide substitutions, indicating significant genetic diversity. This is the first report of molecular characterization of E. acervulina in Bangladesh.

Molecular Survey of Meat‐Borne Zoonotic Protozoa in Food Animals and Poultry in Bangladesh

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 6, November 2026.
Molecular surveillance of 236 meat samples detected T. gondii in 7.0% of goats and 2.08% of chickens; Sarcocystis spp. in 45.9% of cattle, 62.3% of goats, and 4.17% of chickens; and N. caninum in 25.7%, 28.9% and 16.7% of cattle, goat, and chicken samples, respectively. Infection was associated with rearing system, health status and age.

Becoming climate sentinels

American Ethnologist, Volume 53, Issue 4, Page 366-378, November 2026.
Abstract In South Korea, forest scientists refashion themselves as “climate sentinels” as they confront subtle yet disquieting shifts in plant seasonality brought about by climate change. Unlike traditional sentinels, who watch for external threats from a frontier, climate sentinels face ecological anomalies and surprises—such as untimely flowering ...

Chlamydia gallinacea in Brazilian backyard chicken farms

Brazilian Journal of Microbiology
Avian chlamydiosis is a bacterial infectious disease of birds, considered until recently caused only by Chlamydia psittaci, that now includes the newly described species C. buteonis, C. avium, and C. gallinacea, associated with several avian hosts. Since its recognition as a species in 2014 and having chickens as one of its main hosts, C.

Buildings as accidental habitat: Where animals nest, sleep and forage

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 10, Page 3531-3551, October 2026.
Abstract Animals have long inhabited human buildings alongside us, but our understanding comes from isolated studies, such as reports of a possum in the roof or a bat in our walls. What we lack is the building's perspective: which building features actually serve as habitat and for whom?

Using DNA Metabarcoding and Citizen Science to Assess the Diet of Owned Domestic Cats

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Various methods have been attempted to quantify hunting and consumption of wild prey by domestic cats, but molecular analysis of their scat using DNA metabarcoding has rarely been attempted. In this study, we relied on owner‐collected scats (n = 32) from litterboxes and backyards to test whether this methodology could be used to detect ...
