Gastrointestinal parasites of six large mammals in the Wasgomuwa National Park, Sri Lanka [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2022
Gastrointestinal (GI) parasites may impose detrimental consequences on wildlife populations due to their capacity to cause mortality and reduce fitness. Additionally, wild animals play an important role in the transmission of zoonoses.

Toxin-Induced Liver Injury Following Bear Bile Consumption in a Middle-Aged Female in Bhutan: A Case Report. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Consumption of bear bile can cause severe hepatotoxicity. Clinicians should consider toxin‐mediated liver injury in patients with unexplained jaundice. Early recognition, discontinuation of the offending agent, and potential use of N‐acetylcysteine and ursodeoxycholic acid may aid recovery.

Ecological Factors at a Fine Spatial Scale Influencing Leopard (Panthera pardus) Habitat Use in the Bardia–Banke Complex, Nepal [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Common leopard (Panthera pardus) photographed in camera traps in Bardia National Park, Nepal. ABSTRACT Conservation of large carnivores like leopard requires the clear knowledge of the spatial ecology of leopards (Panthera pardus), especially in larger and interconnected habitats to inform effective conservation planning.
