An Ocular Manifestation of a Systemic Disease With Encephalitozoon Pogonae in a Juvenile Central Bearded Dragon (Pogona vitticeps)

Veterinary Ophthalmology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Encephalitozoon pogonae, a recently identified microsporidian species, has been associated with systemic infections in Central bearded dragons (Pogona vitticeps) manifesting as granulomatous inflammation and vasculitis. Despite the species similarity to Encephalitozoon cuniculi, which causes ocular, neurologic, and renal pathology in

Molecular Screening of Black Flies (Diptera: Simuliidae) for Vector‐Borne Zoonotic Pathogens, South Moravia, Czech Republic

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 95-106, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Black flies (Simuliidae) are globally distributed blood‐feeding arthropods and vectors of viral, bacterial, and parasitic pathogens to many animal species, including humans. We investigated the occurrence of selected vector‐borne pathogens in black flies in South Moravia, Czech Republic, and evaluated their possible role in the ...

Intestinal Parasites of Zoonotic Significance in Human and Domestic Animals in a Rural Setting in Nepal

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
Intestinal parasites are shared among humans and domestic animals. Rural setting is critical to enhance parasite zoonosis in Nepal. ABSTRACT Intestinal parasitic (IP) species with zoonotic significance are major public health issues, mostly prevalent in developing countries, leading to high morbidity and mortality. The present study aimed to assess the

Social immunity in a supercolonial invasive ant: Nest structure confers immune function

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 1, Page 84-96, January 2026.
This study provides the first examination of social immunity in a supercolonial ant subject to attack by a specialist internally infecting pathogen. It is also the first study to directly manipulate the nest template to see how space shapes the outcome of social immune behaviours.
