Seasonal diet and numbers of prey consumed by Cape foxes Vulpes chama in South Africa

Wildlife Biology, Volume 20, Issue 3, Page 190-195, June 2014., 2014
The Cape fox Vulpes chama is one of the least studied Vulpes species, and little is known about their diet. By analyzing contents of scats, we determined the seasonal diet of Cape foxes on Benfontein Game Farm (BGF) in South Africa, and determined the biomass and number of rodents consumed.

Risk posed by the HPAI virus H5N1, Eurasian lineage goose/Guangdong clade 2.3.4.4b. genotype B3.13, currently circulating in the US

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract The emergence of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1), clade 2.3.4.4b, genotype B3.13 in U.S. dairy cattle marks a significant shift in the virus' host range and epidemiological profile. Infected cattle typically exhibit mild clinical signs, such as reduced milk production, mastitis and fever, with morbidity generally below 20% and

Adaptation in brain structure and respiratory and olfactory structures across environmental gradients in African and North American muroid rodents

Integrative Zoology, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 165-181, January 2024.
Based on 174 cranial 3D images, when considering allometric and phylogenetic constraints, muroid rodents showed potentially adaptive responses to aridity in the bulla, cochlea, paraflocculi, and olfactory lobes of the brain and to high elevation in endocranial volume and the respiratory turbinate bone of the nasal capsule. Abstract Morphometric studies

Leishmania major Infection in Synanthropic Rodents: Evidence for the Urbanization of Zoonotic Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (ZCL) in Southern Iran

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Cutaneous leishmaniasis is of particular importance in southern Iran. This study aimed to investigate the infection of rodents with Leishmania major in an urban area of Fars Province, located in southern Iran. Rodents were trapped and samples from the liver, spleen, and skin were collected.

RandomX-chromosome inactivation in interspecific hybrids ofMeriones libycus (♂) ×Meriones shawi (♀) (Rodentia: Gerbillinae) [PDF]

Experientia, 1971
Des cultures obtenues a partir d'hybrides femelles entre deux especes deMeriones a 44 chromosomes et differant par l'acrocentrie (M. shawi) ou la metacentrie (M. libycus) de l'X ont permis l'etude de clones cellulaires. C'est alors tantot l'X metacentrique, tantot l'X acrocentrique qui se revele inactive («latereplicating»). Bien que la proportion 1/1,
