Severe hyperglycaemia associated with prolonged isoflurane anaesthesia in an alpaca (Vicugna pacos)
Abstract Alpacas possess distinct glucose and insulin regulatory mechanisms compared with other species, often maintaining higher baseline blood glucose as a normal physiological adaptation. Inhalant anaesthetic agents can further disrupt glucose, insulin and potassium homeostasis, particularly during prolonged procedures.

Seeing Through the “FOG” of U.S. Feedstock Incentives for Transportation Fuels
ABSTRACT The demand for fats, oils, and greases (FOG) as biofuel feedstocks has increased in recent years. Further expansions will have uncertain, but potentially significant, effects on food prices, greenhouse gas emissions, and the U.S. farm economy. To address the market‐mediated effects of expanding FOG feedstock consumption, U.S.

ABSTRACT Introduction Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant threat to both humans and animals. Zoonotic bacteria, such as Campylobacter, contribute to human infections and the spread of AMR, particularly through livestock, pets and wildlife. We investigated the prevalence, distribution and EUCAST ECOFF‐based wild‐type (WT) vs.

Genotyping Reveals Potential Sources of Human Leptospirosis Outbreaks in Aotearoa New Zealand
ABSTRACT Introduction The introduction of PCR testing for leptospirosis in Aotearoa New Zealand has reduced the availability of serotyping data, and current diagnostic PCRs do not routinely genotype Leptospira. This study genotyped Leptospira from PCR‐confirmed human cases between 2016 and 2023 and compared them with genotypes found in animals to ...

Serosurveillance of Leishmania infantum in Zoo‐Kept Animals in Spain
ABSTRACT Introduction Leishmaniosis is a sand fly‐borne zoonosis mainly caused by Leishmania infantum in Europe. Exposure to this protozoan has been widely reported in many domestic and wild species. However, epidemiological surveys evaluating the circulation of L. infantum in zoo‐kept animals remain limited. This large‐scale study aims to evaluate the

Bee products as alternatives in the treatment of viral infections
Abstract Medicines used in the treatment of viral infections usually reduce symptoms. There is a need to develop drugs that inhibit the viruses and do not merely relieve the symptoms. Natural bee products possess many pharmacological properties and are widely used in folk medicine. There are many studies on the antibacterial effects of bee products but

Review of published research on primary dysautonomia of domestic animals
Abstract An article published in 1992 by Marion M. Pollin and I.R. Griffiths reviewed the topic of primary dysautonomias of the autonomic nervous system of unidentified origin in multiple domestic species, specifically cats, dogs and horses. Thirty‐one years later, we appear no closer to identifying the causal agents of these strikingly similar ...
