Genetic Characterisation and Risk Factors Associated With Capripoxvirus Outbreaks Among Small Ruminants in Uganda, 2021–2022

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Sheeppox and goatpox are systemic, contagious viral diseases of small ruminants caused by sheep and goat pox viruses of the genus capripoxvirus. These diseases cause fever, generalised skin lesions and negatively affect health, economics and welfare.

A Review on Heat Stress in Broiler Chickens: Mechanisms, Effects and Mitigation Strategies

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Heat stress caused by high temperature and humidity compromises broiler health, welfare, and productivity by reducing feed intake, growth performance, and feed efficiency, while increasing mortality, oxidative stress, metabolic disturbances, intestinal dysfunction, gut dysbiosis, immune suppression, and meat quality deterioration.

Prevalence and Associated Factors of Gastrointestinal Helminths Infection in Domestic Ruminants in and Around Gondar City, Northwest Ethiopia

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Gastrointestinal helminths were highly prevalent (56.5%) in domestic ruminants in and around Gondar city. The parasites were Strongyloides, Nematodirus, Trichuris, Fasciola, Paramphistomum, Moniezia and strongyle‐type nematodes, the latter being the most common.

Integrating infection intensity and aggregation into the dynamics of pathogens with within‐host replication

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 9, Page 1686-1698, September 2026.
We bridge micro‐ and macroparasite theory with a model tracking pathogen load heterogeneity. By incorporating load‐dependent mortality and within‐host pathogen growth, we show how pathogen load aggregation alters disease prevalence, host suppression effects, and virulence evolution, providing insights for managing complex infectious disease like ...

Phylogeny Drives Carrion Consumption by Vertebrate Scavengers Towards Distantly Related Species

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 9, September 2026.
Carrion is a highly nutritious resource that plays a key role in ecosystem functioning, but may pose pathogen risks, particularly between phylogenetically close carcass‐scavenger pairs. Using camera traps, we assessed how phylogenetic distance influenced scavenging in a Mediterranean wetland.
