Humans and animal welfare in the Adventures of the Mouse-deer: an ecological discourse analysis

Cogent Arts & Humanities
The mouse-deer is a popular trickster character in Indonesian and Malaysian children’s folktales. The species was ubiquitous in Southeast Asia, but human activities have led to biodiversity loss and a decline of the mouse-deer. Popular discourses such as

Detection of sub-clinical CWD infection in conventional test-negative deer long after oral exposure to urine and feces from CWD+ deer.

PLoS ONE, 2009
BackgroundChronic wasting disease (CWD) of cervids is a prion disease distinguished by high levels of transmissibility, wherein bodily fluids and excretions are thought to play an important role.

A Focus of Deer Tick Virus Transmission in the Northcentral United States

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 1999
We screened salivary glands from adult deer ticks collected near Spooner and Hayward, Wisconsin, to determine whether deer tick virus, a recently described flavivirus, occurs with other tickborne agents in the upper Midwest.

Tooth row allometry in domestic rabbits and nondomestic lagomorphs: Evidence for a decoupling of body and tooth row size changes in evolutionary time

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Domestic rabbits of different body sizes differ disproportionately in the length of their tooth row or the length of their diastema. Abstract In various domestic mammals, smaller breeds tend to have proportionally larger teeth, whereas this is not a universal trend across mammals.

Ursolic Acid Alleviates Orchitis via Modulating Ferroptosis in Peritubular Myoid Cells of Testis

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Ursolic acid modulates key ferroptosis‐related pathways in the peritubular myoid cells of the testis in forest musk deer. ABSTRACT Chronic stress adversely affects reproductive health, increasing susceptibility to pathologies such as orchitis. Additionally, the maintenance of iron homeostasis is essential for preserving the function of the testicles ...

Prion replication in organotypic brain slice cultures is distinct from in vivo inoculation and is species dependent

Acta Neuropathologica Communications
Cultured brain slices rapidly replicate murine prions, exhibit prion pathology, and are amenable towards drug discovery, but have not been infected with human prions.

Rapid Field Immunoassay for Detecting Antibody to Sin Nombre Virus in Deer Mice

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007
We developed a 1-hour field enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for detecting antibody to Sin Nombre virus in deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus). The assay specificity and sensitivity were comparable to those of a standard EIA.

The extremely small body size of Williamson’s mouse deer (Tragulus williamsoni) allows coexistence with sympatric larger ungulates through temporal avoidance

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Research on the coexistence of congeneric species is essential for understanding community assemblages. Smaller competitors are expected to avoid larger ones, either spatially or temporally, to reduce interspecific competition.

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

An Infection-Tolerant Mammalian Reservoir for Several Zoonotic Agents Broadly Counters the Inflammatory Effects of Endotoxin

mBio, 2021
Animals that are natural carriers of pathogens that cause human diseases commonly manifest little or no sickness as a consequence of infection.
