The Bovidae CSN2 Locus as a Multilayered Evolutionary System: Evidence from Retroposons, Trans-Species Variation and Ancient Recombination [PDF]

Animals
The β-casein gene (CSN2) encodes one of the major milk proteins involved in calcium and phosphorus transport and combines a highly conserved genomic organization with extensive genetic diversity, making it an informative model for investigating mammalian

Bluetongue Virus Serotype 3 Follow-Up of the 2024 Outbreak in Two Belgian Zoos. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
In summer 2024, Western Europe experienced extensive outbreaks of bluetongue virus Serotype 3 (BTV‐3), a Culicoides‐borne orbivirus. Clinical disease was first detected in August 2024 in one of two Belgian zoos, predominantly affecting European bison (Bison bonasus) and American bison (Bison bison).

PALEOPROTEOMICS STUDIES OF ANCIENT CAPRINAE: A REVIEW

Experimental biology, 2021
In the Neolithic era, people began to graze sheep and goats primarily due to easier access to meat, milk, and fleeces. Thus, in ancient times, Caprinae were the key animals in the development of early domestication and agriculture. The analysis of ancient proteins of Caprinae from paleontological and archeological materials reveals new data on their ...

Description of a Sarcoptic Mange Outbreak in Alpine Chamois Using an Enhanced Surveillance Approach

Animals, 2022
Since 1995, the Alpine chamois (Rupicapra r. rupicapra) population of the Dolomites has been affected by sarcoptic mange with considerable management concerns. In this study, 15 years (2006–2020) of passive surveillance and demographic data were analyzed

The Dairy Ruminant Gut Microbiome: Profile, Responsiveness to Seasonality and Impact on Milk Quality. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol
The dairy ruminant gut microbiome that is shaped by host and diet is affected by seasonality and rearing. These factors can impact dairy productivity and milk quality potentially through the gut microbiota. ABSTRACT The gut microbiome (GM) and particularly the rumen microbiome (RM) affect the ruminant health and they are associated with milk quality ...
