Widespread horse-based mobility arose around 2200 bce in Eurasia
NatureHorses revolutionized human history with fast mobility1. However, the timeline between their domestication and their widespread integration as a means of transport remains contentious2–4.

Trojan Horse Transit Contributes to Blood-Brain Barrier Crossing of a Eukaryotic Pathogen
mBio, 2017 The blood-brain barrier (BBB) protects the central nervous system (CNS) by restricting the passage of molecules and microorganisms. Despite this barrier, however, the fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans invades the brain, causing a ...

A genome-wide scan for diversifying selection signatures in selected horse breeds
PLoS ONE, 2019 The genetic differentiation of the current horse population was evolutionarily created by natural or artificial selection which shaped the genomes of individual breeds in several unique ways. The availability of high throughput genotyping methods created

Exploratory Behaviours of Primitive Horses Based on Konik: A Preliminary Study
Animals, 2021 This study aimed at assessing the behaviour of Konik geldings and mares, kept in a stable and in a free-range system, during behavioural tests regarded as a determinant of the exploration urge. A total of 19 Konik horses kept in individual stables and in

Practical security bounds against the Trojan-horse attack in quantum key distribution [PDF]
, 2015 In the quantum version of a Trojan-horse attack, photons are injected into the optical modules of a quantum key distribution system in an attempt to read information direct from the encoding devices. To stop the Trojan photons, the use of passive optical

The use of D- and L,D- cloprostenol to reduce diastral period of estrus cycle in mares [PDF]
BIO Web of ConferencesIn order to determine the minimum effective drug doses, the levels of decrease in progesterone concentration followed the injections of D and L, D - cloprostenol (the dosage 25 - 250 μg) were compared.

Crypto-tobiano horses in Hucul breed
Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2015 The aim of the study was to verify the hypothesis that the crypto-tobiano horses which do not exhibit the full tobiano white-spotting pattern nonetheless transmit the dominant To gene to the progeny. The study was conducted on the Hucul population. Seven
