Fasciola Metacercaria Contamination in Wetland Pastures and Its Association With Forage Characteristics Across Agro‐Ecological Zones: Case of Gamo Zone, Southern Ethiopia

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
In Ethiopia's Gamo Zone, we found that highly palatable, protein‐rich forage species in wetlands carry the highest burden of Fasciola metacercariae. This creates a direct conflict between livestock nutrition and health, demanding integrated management strategies to mitigate disease risk.

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Q Fever in Smallholder Dairy Farms in Kenya

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
Serological and molecular screening revealed widespread exposure to Coxiella burnetii in dairy cattle, linked to reproductive and herd management risk factors. Strengthened surveillance and herd‐level biosecurity are critical to reducing Q fever transmission. ABSTRACT Background Q fever is a neglected zoonotic disease of global concern.

First Serological Evidence of Foot‐and‐Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV) Infection Among Sheep and Goats in Selected Districts of Central Bangladesh

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
Serological surveillance revealed foot‐and‐mouth disease virus (FMDV) exposure for the first time in sheep and goats across the studied districts of Bangladesh, highlighting their critical role in FMD epidemiology. These findings emphasize the importance of including sheep and goats in national FMD surveillance and control programmes.

Natives Against Invaders: Shared Use of Space and Temporal Segregation of Clouded Tiger‐Cats (Leopardus pardinoides) and Domestic Dogs (Canis familiaris) in an Isolated Protected Area

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We studied the spatial and temporal relationships between clouded tiger‐cats and dogs in an isolated protected area of Colombia. Dogs influenced the activity patterns of clouded tiger‐cats but not their habitat use. Conservation actions should be directed to mitigate potential contact between both species.

Anthropogenic foods sustain free-roaming cats on a Mediterranean island, but neutering reduces wild bird consumption

Oryx
The domestic cat Felis catus is a predator, variously regarded as a pet, pest or pest controller, making its management ecologically and socially complex. On islands, wildlife predation by cats is a major conservation concern. Knowledge of the ecology of
