Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is well known among cervids in North America. Nevertheless, management faced different types and degrees of uncertainty when CWD was first detected in reindeer Rangifer tarandus in Nordfjella, Norway in 2016. We present a timeline of the efforts to control CWD, and identify how the process, measurement, environmental, and ...

Bipedalism or bipedalisms: The os coxae of StW 573
There has been a long debate about the possibility of multiple contemporaneous species of Australopithecus in both eastern and southern Africa, potentially exhibiting different forms of bipedal locomotion. Here, we describe the previously unreported morphology of the os coxae in the 3.67 Ma Australopithecus prometheus StW 573 from Sterkfontein Member 2

The Role of Foxes in Transmitting Zoonotic Bacteria to Humans: A Scoping Review
ABSTRACT Zoonotic diseases inflict substantial burdens on human and animal populations worldwide, and many of these infections are bacterial. An Australian study investigating environmental risk factors for Buruli ulcer in humans detected the causative agent, Mycobacterium ulcerans, in the faeces of wild foxes, a novel finding that suggests foxes may ...

Atypical Multiple Sclerosis Overlapping Features of Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders (NMOSD)
ABSTRACT We aim to discuss the importance of accurately diagnosing atypical inflammatory demyelinating diseases (IDD), particularly neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD), which exhibit similar pathological characteristics to multiple sclerosis (MS). An accurate diagnosis is crucial as the disease‐modifying treatments (DMTs) used for MS can be

Abstract The widespread practice of supplemental feeding, a bottom‐up forcing of resource availability, is intended to improve wildlife population health and survival. However, supplemental feeding could trigger indirect effects by altering predation rates and disease dynamics. We investigated the effects of feeding on three key elk (Cervus canadensis)

Brucellosis: an Overview [PDF]
Brucellosis remains a major zoonosis worldwide. Although many countries have eradicated Brucella abortus from cattle, in some areas Brucella melitensis has emerged as a cause of infection in this species as well as in sheep and goats. Despite vaccination campaigns with the Rev 1 strain, B.
