Epidemiological characteristics of the ectoparasite infestation in domestic dogs in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam

open access: yesVeterinary Integrative Sciences, 2023
Ectoparasites not only cause pruritus and dermatitis but also play a crucial role in vector-borne disease in domestic dogs. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of ectoparasite infestation and the molecular characteristics of ticks and ...

The wolf reference genome sequence (Canis lupus lupus) and its implications for Canis spp. population genomics

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2017
An increasing number of studies are addressing the evolutionary genomics of dog domestication, principally through resequencing dog, wolf and related canid genomes.

A radial velocity survey of low Galactic latitude structures: I. Kinematics of the Canis Major dwarf galaxy [PDF]

open access: yesMon.Not.Roy.Astron.Soc. 362 (2005) 906-914, 2005
As part of a radial velocity survey of low Galactic latitude structures that we undertook with the 2dF spectrograph on the AAT, we present the radial velocities of more than 1500 Red Giant Branch and Red Clump stars towards the centre of the Canis Major dwarf galaxy.

Dietary ecology of Smilodon across time and space: Additional perspectives from Smilodon gracilis and Smilodon fatalis in Florida

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Dental microwear texture analysis of Smilodon samples from Florida's Pleistocene reveals moderate carcass utilization (like modern African lions) across space and time, with more subtle dietary shifts in response to fluctuating climates. Abstract Smilodon, the iconic saber‐toothed cat, was a Pleistocene apex predator comprised of three morphologically ...

A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

Seroprevalence of Toxocara canis and the parasitic effect on plasma cytokines in children aged 6 to 11 years in Saki-East local government area in Nigeria

open access: yesEnvironmental Disease, 2019
Study Background: Toxocara canis is a helminths parasite known as dog worm but infects human through infected dog feces or contaminated dirt. It is a neglected disease in economically less privileged areas.

Tissue distribution and cell tropism of Brucella canis in naturally infected canine foetuses and neonates

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
Brucella canis infection is an underdiagnosed zoonotic disease. Knowledge about perinatal brucellosis in dogs is extremely limited, although foetuses and neonates are under risk of infection due to vertical transmission.

The relationship between form and function of the carnivore mandible

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dietary morphology diversified extensively in Carnivoraformes (living Carnivora and their stem relatives) during the Cenozoic (the last 66 million years) as they evolved to capture, handle, and process new animal and plant diets. We used 3D geometric morphometrics, mechanical advantage, and finite element analysis to test the evolutionary ...

Applications of pre- and intraoperative eAEP like eABR in cochlear implant candidacy

open access: yesCurrent Directions in Biomedical Engineering
Introduction: Preoperative electrically auditory evoked potentials (= eAEP, i.e., eABR for brainstem, eAMLR for midbrain, and eALR for cortex) can be performed under local anesthesia, achieving subjective sensation and hearing in patients having a ...

Seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii and Toxocara canis in a human rural population of Southern Rio Grande do Sul

open access: yesRevista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2018
Due to the growing population of pets, especially homeless dogs and cats, zoonoses still represent a significant public health problem. Toxoplasma gondii and Toxocara spp. are epidemiologically important zoonotic agents as they are etiological factors of
