Susceptibility of Gecko Cell Line for Cultivation and Adaptation of Infectious Bursal Disease Virus as an Experimental Vaccine

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
First successful cultivation of IBDV on reptile‐derived Z1 cells yields high‐titre virus and induces immunity in chickens. This scalable, egg‐free platform offers a promising alternative for vaccine production, leveraging evolutionary kinship between reptiles and birds for next‐generation poultry disease control.

Poultry Farmer Training in Biosecurity and Production Within an Evaluation Framework in Bangladesh

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Background In Bangladesh, farmers often initiate small‐ to medium‐scale poultry production ventures with minimal to no prior training, experience or formal qualifications. The poultry industry's rapid expansion poses a growing threat to human and animal health.

Pityriasis Versicolor in a Southern Ground Hornbill (Bucorvus leadbeateri)

Case Reports in Veterinary Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
A 20‐year‐old southern ground hornbill (Bucorvus leadbeateri) developed hyperpigmented macules on its gular pouch, resembling the lesions typically seen in humans with pityriasis versicolor. Cytologic examination revealed over 100 budding yeasts per oil immersion field.

Identification of Ectoparasites Infesting Domestic Chickens and Evaluation of Control Practices Across Production Systems in and Around Dire Dawa, Ethiopia

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Ectoparasites threaten poultry health and productivity by decreasing egg production, lowering meat yields, and transmitting diseases. This study is aimed at determining the prevalence and identifying the main species of ectoparasites, as well as assessing the current control practices in poultry production systems in Dire Dawa.

Unveiling Novel Viral Diversity, Biogeography, and Host Networks in Wildlife Through High‐Throughput Sequencing Data Mining

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 46, December 11, 2025.
Analysis of 57 536 high‐throughput sequencing datasets uncovers a vast, hidden world of viruses in wildlife. The researchers reveal significant geographic and host‐specific patterns of viruses, and their surprising cross‐species transmissions, such as avian flu viruses infecting goats.

Phylogenetic analysis of beak and feather disease virus across a host ring-species complex. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2014
Significance The roles of disease and species hybridization in maintaining biodiversity are of wide interest, yet are rarely studied simultaneously in wild populations. Using genomic analysis of beak and feather disease virus in an avian ring-species complex, Platycercus elegans

Habitat Protection Alone Is Insufficient: Costa Rican Parrots Thrive in Altered Landscapes but Remain Vulnerable to Poaching

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Human population growth and resource overexploitation have induced major changes in global biodiversity. Costa Rica, with 26% of its land area protected, is often cited as a model of environmental conservation. However, conservation efforts have largely focused on habitat preservation, while overharvesting remains an unquantified factor in

New developments in biotechnology applied to animals: An assessment of the adequacy and sufficiency of current EFSA guidance for animal risk assessment

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract EFSA was requested by the European Commission to provide a scientific opinion on new developments in biotechnology, including new genomic techniques, as applied to animals for food, feed and other agricultural uses. A horizon‐scanning exercise identified a variety of animals obtained with new genomic techniques, with the potential to reach the
