Felis lynxi

, 2021
Felipeda lynxi (Panin and Avram, 1962). Discussion Felipeda is known as four-digit imprints of carnivore footprints, which are distinguished by their round digit imprints without claw impressions. The type specimen of Felipeda lynxi is incomplete, and it does not include complete sole imprints (Panin and Avram, 1962, fig. 15).

Evidence for a specific host-endosymbiont relationship between ‘Rickettsia sp. genotype RF2125’ and Ctenocephalides felis orientis infesting dogs in India

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background Fleas of the genus Ctenocephalides serve as vectors for a number of rickettsial zoonoses, including Rickettsia felis. There are currently no published reports of the presence and distribution of R.

Dissemination of bloodmeal acquired Rickettsia felis in cat fleas, Ctenocephalides felis [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2013
Cat fleas, Ctenocephalides felis, are known biological vectors for Rickettsia felis. Rickettsial transmission can be vertical via transovarial transmission within a flea population, as well as horizontal between fleas through a bloodmeal. The previously undescribed infection kinetics of bloodmeal-acquired R. felis in cat fleas provides insight into the

Limited genetic variability of Cytauxzoon felis apical membrane antigen-1 (ama1) from domestic cats and bobcats

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Cytauxzoon felis is a tick-transmitted apicomplexan that causes cytauxzoonosis in domestic cats (Felis catus). Even with intensive care, the mortality rate of acute cytauxzoonosis approaches 40% in domestic cats, while bobcats (Lynx rufus ...

A Novel Vaccine Strategy to Prevent Cytauxzoonosis in Domestic Cats

Vaccines, 2023
Cytauxzoonosis is caused by Cytauxzoon felis (C. felis), a tick-borne parasite that causes severe disease in domestic cats in the United States. Currently, there is no vaccine to prevent this fatal disease, as traditional vaccine development strategies ...

Genetic mixing in conservation translocations increases diversity of a keystone threatened species, Bettongia lesueur

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Translocation programmes are increasingly being informed by genetic data to monitor and enhance conservation outcomes for both natural and established populations. These data provide a window into contemporary patterns of genetic diversity, structure and relatedness that can guide managers in how to best source animals for their translocation ...

Bio‐Inspired Strategy for Radiation‐Based Thermal Management and Utilization

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Biological organisms have evolved remarkable strategies to manage and exploit thermal radiation. This review explores bio‐inspired systems that mimic these adaptations—such as radiative cooling, thermal regulation, thermal insulation, water harvesting, infrared camouflage, and infrared detection—and highlights their application in thermal management ...

Prevalence of infection in healthy free-roaming cats in north-central Oklahoma and central Iowa

Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery Open Reports, 2016
Case summary Cytauxzoonosis is a tick-borne disease of cats, and Oklahoma (OK), USA, is considered an enzootic state. To determine the prevalence of Cytauxzoon felis , blood was collected from free-roaming cats, as they are frequently exposed to tick ...
