The impact of fire on habitat use by the short-snouted elephant shrew ('Elephantulus brachyrhynchus') in North West Province, South Africa [PDF]

, 2008
Several studies have investigated the response of small mammal populations to fire, but few have investigated behavioural responses to habitat modification. In this study we investigated the impact of fire on home range, habitat use and activity patterns

Cell Fate Regulation upon DNA Damage: p53 Serine 46 Kinases Pave the Cell Death Road

BioEssays, Volume 41, Issue 12, December 2019., 2019
Phosphorylation of p53 at Serine 46 drives the apoptotic and ferroptotic cell death response upon severe, irreparable DNA damage. This review summarizes and discusses how the p53 Ser46 phospho‐mark is wired to the cell death response, which kinases are setting this deadly phospho‐mark, as well as its evolutionary conservation and deregulation in human ...

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.

Evaluation of Halogenated Coumarins for Antimosquito Properties

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Mosquitoes are the major vectors of parasites and pathogens affecting humans and domestic animals. The widespread development of insecticide resistance and negative environmental effects of most synthetic compounds support an interest in finding and developing alternative products against mosquitoes.

Cofactor Independent Phosphoglycerate Mutase of Brugia malayi Induces a Mixed Th1/Th2 Type Immune Response and Inhibits Larval Development in the Host

BioMed Research International, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Lymphatic filariasis is a major debilitating disease, endemic in 72 countries putting more than 1.39 billion people at risk and 120 million are already infected. Despite the significant progress in chemotherapeutic advancements, there is still need for other measures like development of an effective vaccine or discovery of novel drug targets.

Coinfection with Erethizon dorsatum papillomavirus types 1 and 2 in pigmented papillomatous skin lesions of a North American porcupine in Germany

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract We present a case of a coinfection with two papillomaviruses—Erethizon dorsatum papillomavirus types 1 and 2 (EdPV1/2) in a North American porcupine housed in a German zoo. The animal exhibited exophytic black papules on the skin of the face and legs.
