Serosurveillance of Leishmania infantum in Zoo-Kept Animals in Spain. [PDF]
Zoonoses Public HealthABSTRACT 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

Optimising Genome-Wide Detection of Runs of Homozygosity: Impacts of Reference Genome Quality and Sequencing Parameters on Inbreeding Assessment. [PDF]
Mol Ecol ResourABSTRACT Inbreeding and inbreeding depression pose a critical challenge to the persistence of small and isolated populations, driving the need for precise assessment of genomic metrics. Genome‐wide runs of homozygosity (ROH) have been widely used for evaluating contemporary inbreeding levels and tracing historical events, circumventing the limitations ...

Truncation of TRIM5 in the Feliformia explains the absence of retroviral restriction in cells of the domestic cat [PDF]
, 2009 TRIM5[alpha] mediates a potent retroviral restriction phenotype in diverse mammalian species. Here, we identify a TRIM5 transcript in cat cells with a truncated B30.2 capsid binding domain and ablated restrictive function which, remarkably, is conserved ...

Leopardus braccatus (Carnivora: Felidae) [PDF]
Mammalian Species, 2012 Leopardus braccatus (Cope, 1889) is a small felid—not much larger than a domestic house cat—commonly called the Pantanal cat. No comprehensive surveys have been conducted to determine how many L. braccatus exist in the wild. It is found in humid, warm grasslands and wooded areas of extreme northwestern Argentina, southwestern and south- and north ...
