Biomechanics of Dental Implantation in the Giant Panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca): A Comparative Study Using Finite Element Analysis

Journal of Veterinary Dentistry
Giant pandas have a high incidence of tooth wear, loss, and fracture since their diet is specifically bamboo. Dental implantation is a common treatment for tooth loss in humans while rarely reported in wild animals. To explore the applicability of dental

Identification of novel anelloviruses in the blood of giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca)

Comparative Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2023
In recent years, the continuous development of metagenomics has revealed that in addition to the digestive tract, some viruses are also common in mammalian blood. To explore and monitor potential novel viruses, in April 2015, a blood sample was collected from a healthy captive giant panda at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in Sichuan ...

SERUM TRACE NUTRIENT VALUES IN FOUR CAPTIVE GIANT PANDAS (AILUROPODA MELANOLEUCA)

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2019
Trace nutrients have been shown to play important health roles in both domestic and wild animals, but there has been little investigation into their values and effects in giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca). The goal of this study was to obtain serum vitamin and mineral values in a group of healthy, captive giant pandas (n = 4).

Cranial shape transformation in the evolution of the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca)

Naturwissenschaften, 2010
In this study, landmark-based methods of geometric morphometrics are used for investigating the main aspects of cranial shape transformation in the evolution of the giant panda, Ailuropoda melanoleuca. Specifically, we explore if the highly derived cranial adaptations for bamboo feeding of the living panda were developed early in the panda's lineage ...
