Evolution of Endogenous Retroviruses in the Subfamily of Caprinae [PDF]
VirusesThe interest in endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) has been fueled by their impact on the evolution of the host genome. In this study, we used multiple pipelines to conduct a de novo exploration and annotation of ERVs in 13 species of the Caprinae subfamily.

Bile acid pathways in Caprinae gut microbiota: adaptive shifts in microbial metabolism and community structure [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyIntroductionThe gut microbiota plays a central role in host metabolism and immunity, in part through bile acid (BA) biotransformation. In Caprinae animals such as goats and sheep, this process is critical for nutrient absorption, immune regulation, and ...

Description of Gut Mycobiota Composition and Diversity of Caprinae Animals. [PDF]
Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 The fungal community, also known as mycobiota, plays pivotal roles in host nutrition and metabolism and has potential to cause disease. However, knowledge of the gut fungal structure in Caprinae is quite limited.

A Catalog of over 5,000 Metagenome-Assembled Microbial Genomes from the Caprinae Gut Microbiota. [PDF]
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 Most microbiome studies regarding the ruminant digestive tract have focused on the rumen microbiota, whereas only a few studies were performed on investigating the gut microbiota of ruminants, which limits our understanding of this important component ...

Metagenomic analysis of antimicrobial resistance, virulence, and mobile genetic elements in the gut microbiota of Caprinae species [PDF]
Communications BiologyThe livestock gut microbiota serves as a reservoir for antimicrobial resistance (AMR), yet Caprinae species remain understudied. Here, we present a large-scale metagenomic analysis of 779 gut samples from Caprinae animals, primarily originating from ...

The abundance and persistence of Caprinae populations
Scientific Reports, 2022 Stable or growing populations may go extinct when their sizes cannot withstand large swings in temporal variation and stochastic forces. Hence, the minimum abundance threshold defining when populations can persist without human intervention forms a key ...

Correlating multi-scale structure characteristics to mechanical behavior of Caprinae horn sheaths
Journal of Materials Research and Technology, 2022 Horns are used by Bovidae animals for intraspecific combat; as such they are among Nature's toughest materials that require resistance to extreme loads.

<i>Sarcocystis</i> spp. Investigations in Iberian Wild Caprinae Reveal a Remarkable Degree of Interconnection with Parasites' Domestic Epidemiological Life Cycles. [PDF]
PathogensMany uncertainties exist on the epidemiology of the Sarcocystis species infecting wild ruminants. In this study, tongue and/or diaphragm tissues of free-ranging wild Caprinae species (54 Pyrenean chamois, 52 mouflons, 146 Iberian ibexes, and 19 Balearean
