Efficacy of Supplementing Lemongrass Powder on Growth, Metabolism, Immune and Endo‐Parasitic Status of Lambs in the Tropics

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
Dietary supplementation of lemongrass powder (0.50 g per kg metabolic body weight) with a basal diet significantly enhanced lamb daily gain, growth velocity, feed efficiency and nutrient digestibility. It increased serum high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL‐C), albumin and IgG concentrations, while reducing aspartate aminotransferase (AST ...

Prevalence of Ixodid Tick Infestation Among Small Ruminants in Ethiopia: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
This systematic review and meta‐analysis reveal a high overall prevalence of ixodid tick infestation among sheep and goats across Ethiopia. Significant regional variation was observed, with the highest burden in the eastern parts of the country.

Helminth gut parasites of black grouse Lyrurus tetrix in northern England, their impact on productivity and possible sources of infection

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Black grouse Lyrurus tetrix declines continue throughout much of temperate Europe, following habitat loss and population isolation, associated with reduced productivity. In northern England, only 1437 lekking males remained in 2014, genetically isolated from other UK populations, and typified by low productivity but high adult survival.

Energetic and oxidative costs of microfilarial infection: evidence for fitness trade‐offs in male village weavers of the Amurum Forest Reserve

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Microfilariae contribute to a higher energetic demand that could lead to oxidative damage and reduce hosts' fitness. Yet reports about the energy status and oxidative stress‐defense mechanisms of infected wild birds are rarely documented. We investigated the relationship between microfilariae and the energy status and oxidative damage‐defense ...

Host‐associated beneficial gut microbiota boosts induced immunity and limits immune deployment costs in bumblebees

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 1, Page 217-229, January 2026.
Our work demonstrates a key role for host‐associated microbiota in the realization of induced immune defense, and contributes more broadly to our understanding of microbiota‐immune interactions in the context of ecological immunology. Abstract Ecological immunology posits that variation in host resistance to infection may be attributed partly to the ...
