Positive Molecular Detection of Rickettsia helvetica in Great Tits From Central Poland

Ecology and Evolution
Ticks spread to new habitats via wild mammals and birds, with urban green spaces potentially colonized through bird transportation. Rickettsia is a genus of bacteria that can cause diseases in humans and animals, which is often transmitted by ticks. This

Viral diseases of companion birds

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice, 2005
Many viruses definitively cause disease in our companion birds, whereas other viruses have been implicated or associated with typical clinical signs. Some families of viruses that have been discovered in mammals have not been associated with disease in birds.

Helmeted hornbill cranial kinesis: Balancing mobility and stability in a high‐impact joint

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Prokinesis—in which a craniofacial joint allows the rostrum to move relative to the braincase—is thought to confer diverse advantages in birds, mostly for feeding. A craniofacial joint would, however, be a weak link if cranial stability is important. Paradoxically, we have identified a craniofacial joint in helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil),

Ancient horizontal transfers of retrotransposons between birds and ancestors of human pathogenic nematodes

Nature Communications, 2016
Lymphatic filariasis and loiasis are diseases caused by insect-borne filarial nematodes. Here, Suh et al. identify a retrotransposon that is present in the genomes of these nematodes and seven tropical bird lineages, indicating two waves of horizontal ...

Farmers’ management of functional biodiversity goes beyond pest management in organic European apple orchards [PDF]

, 2019
Supporting functional biodiversity (FB), which provides natural pest regulation, is an environmentally sound and promising approach to reduce pesticide use in perennial cultures such as apple, especially in organic farming. However, little is known about

Skeletal pathologies in extant crocodilians as a window into the paleopathology of fossil archosaurs

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Crocodilians, together with birds, are the only extant relatives to many extinct archosaur groups, making them highly important for interpreting paleopathological conditions in a phylogenetic disease bracketing model. Despite this, comprehensive data on osteopathologies in crocodilians remain scarce.

c‐Rel–dependent Chk2 signaling regulates the DNA damage response limiting hepatocarcinogenesis

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
In response to genotoxic injury, c‐Rel upregulates ATM‐Chk2‐p53 pathway DNA damage proteins to limiting hepatocarcinogenesis. Abstract Background and Aims Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer‐related death. The NF‐κB transcription factor family subunit c‐Rel is typically protumorigenic; however, it has recently been reported as a

Influence of epizootic categories of birds on germ resistance

Науковий вісник Львівського національного університету ветеринарної медицини та біотехнологій імені С.З. Ґжицького: Серія Ветеринарні науки, 2019
Non-plastic diseases are a problem both in medical and veterinary practice. The most common diseases in poultry caused by oncogenic viruses include lymphoid leukemia (LL) and Marek's disease (MD). A vaccine has been developed for HM.

Rethinking brachycephaly: Anatomical implications and health considerations in lagomorphs

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Brachycephaly in domestic rabbits is increasingly perceived by welfare organizations as associated with significant health complications, particularly oral pathologies. Despite this perception, comparative anatomical research into rabbit brachycephaly is limited compared to that of dogs and cats, compelling an in‐depth examination of its ...
