Genetics of Skin Disease in Horses
Equine skin diseases are common, causing increased costs and reduced welfare of affected horses.Genetic testing, if available, can complement early detection, disease diagnosis, and clinical treatment and offers horse breeders the possibility to rule out carrier status.

Optimal speed in Thoroughbred horse racing [PDF]
The objective of this work is to provide a mathematical analysis on how a Thoroughbred horse should regulate its speed over the course of a race to optimize performance. Because Thoroughbred horses are not capable of running the whole race at top speed, determining what pace to set and when to unleash the burst of speed is essential.

Human brain ferritin studied by muon Spin Rotation: a pilot study [PDF]
Muon Spin Rotation is employed to investigate the spin dynamics of ferritin proteins isolated from the brain of an Alzheimer's disease (AD) patient and of a healthy control, using a sample of horse-spleen ferritin as a reference. A model based on the N\'eel theory of superparamagnetism is developed in order to interpret the spin relaxation rate of the ...

The elusive scleral cartilages: Comparative anatomy and development in teleosts and avians
Abstract The sclera of all vertebrate eyes is comprised of connective tissue, with some organisms developing cartilage within this tissue. A review of the cartilages that have been described in the vertebrate sclera and their anatomical relationships is discussed together with their potential homology.

Can a patchy model describe the potential spread of West Nile virus in Germany? [PDF]
In 2018, West Nile Virus (WNV) was detected for the first time in Germany. Since the first detection, 36 human cases and 175 cases in horses and birds are detected. The transmission cycle of West Nile Virus includes birds and mosquitoes and -- as dead-end hosts -- people and horses.

Differences in microbiome and virome between cattle and horses in the same farm [PDF]
Objective The ecosystem of an animal farm is composed of various elements, such as animals, farmers, plants, feed, soil, and microorganisms. A domesticated animal’s health is largely connected with the reservoir of bacteria and viruses in animal farms ...

Molecular Dynamics Studies on the Buffalo Prion Protein [PDF]
It was reported that buffalo is a low susceptibility species resisting to prion diseases, which are invariably fatal and highly infectious neurodegenerative diseases that affect a wide variety of species. In molecular structures, TSE neurodegenerative diseases are caused by the conversion from a soluble normal cellular prion protein, predominantly with

Chronic idiopathic inflammatory bowel diseases of the horse.
A review of reported cases of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) of horses for which no etiology was identified included cases of granulomatous enteritis (GE), multisystemic eosinophilic epitheliotropic disease (MEED), lymphocytic-plasmacytic ...
