What makes each of us unique? The nine-banded armadillo as a model to study individuality [PDF]

Frontiers in Mammal Science
The human brain is the foundation of our identity as a species and as individuals. It is where our unique sensations, emotions, and thoughts arise. The same way no two individuals are alike, no two brains are identical.

Experimental infections with Paracoccidioides brasiliensis obtained from armadillos: comparison to clinical isolates [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2008
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis causes paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) that is one of the most prevalent systemic human mycoses in Latin America. Armadillos show a high incidence of PCM infection and could, therefore, be a natural reservoir for this fungus ...

Mycobacterium leprae in Nine-Banded Armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus), Ecuador. [PDF]

Emerg Infect Dis
We found Mycobacterium leprae, the most common etiologic agent of Hansen disease or leprosy, in tissues from 9 (18.75%) of 48 nine-banded armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus) collected across continental Ecuador. Finding evidence of a wildlife reservoir is the first step to recognizing leprosy zoonotic transmission pathway in Ecuador or elsewhere.

Genomics Reveals Distinct Evolutionary Lineages in Asian Elephants. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study introduces, for the first time, whole‐genome sequencing (WGS) data from predominantly wild‐origin Asian elephants housed in European zoos, covering the distribution range of Asian elephants. The WGS data aim to validate the Asian elephant subspecies designation and address ambiguities about their origin, particularly concerning Bornean and ...

Shotgun Mitogenomics Provides a Reference Phylogenetic Framework and Timescale for Living Xenarthrans [PDF]

, 2015
Xenarthra (armadillos, sloths, and anteaters) constitutes one of the four major clades of placental mammals. Despite their phylogenetic distinctiveness in mammals, a reference phylogeny is still lacking for the 31 described species. Here we used Illumina

Potential Distribution of Colonizing Nine-Banded Armadillos at Their Northern Range Edge

Diversity, 2021
The nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) has become a recent addition to the local fauna of Illinois as a response to habitat alteration and climate change. This range expansion has resulted in the presence of armadillos in areas not predicted by
