First molecular detection of Mycoplasma ovis (Hemotropic mycoplasmas) from Sheep in Brazil

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária
Mycoplasma ovis is an emerging zoonotic pathogen with a worldwide distribution and can cause mild to severe hemolytic anemia, icterus, and poor weight gain in animals. Although M. ovis has been described in small ruminants worldwide, data on M.

Robust Grammatical Analysis for Spoken Dialogue Systems

, 1998
We argue that grammatical analysis is a viable alternative to concept spotting for processing spoken input in a practical spoken dialogue system. We discuss the structure of the grammar, and a model for robust parsing which combines linguistic sources of

Demographic buffering in natural populations: A multi‐level perspective

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We introduce a multi‐level framework that unites stochastic elasticities with nonlinear selection to test demographic buffering. Applying it across mammals reveals a key insight: ecological robustness to variability often decouples from evolutionary constraint, reshaping how we understand resilience under environmental stochasticity.

Improving stress coping ability: comparison between the CYP17 genotype Of Ovis Aries and Capra Hircus [PDF]

, 2010
The ability of animals to adapt to stress is not only an animal health and welfare concern, but also influences reproduction potential and robustness. An important pathway involved in the stress response is the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPAA ...

Eco‐evolutionary dynamics of partially migratory metapopulations in spatially and seasonally varying environments

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Partial seasonal migration is rarely considered in a metapopulation context. Here, Haaland et al. use an eco‐evolutionary model revealing how partially migratory metapopulations may arise and be maintained, and how seasonal migrants may cause effects of local extreme climatic events to percolate through metapopulations across diverging temporal and ...

Can Fecal T3 Metabolite Level Fluctuations in European Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus) Give Insights on Body Condition and Thermal Stress?

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
European roe deer fecal samples were assayed to investigate the potential fluctuations of fecal thyroid hormone metabolites (FTMs) in response to environmental (e.g., the temperature, local densities) and individual (e.g., sex, age, body, and nutritional conditions) variables.

Molecular detection and genetic characterisation of pathogenic Theileria, Anaplasma and Ehrlichia species among apparently healthy sheep in central and western Kenya

Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 2019
Tick-borne diseases (TBDs) caused by Theileria, Babesia, Anaplasma and Ehrlichia species are common in tropical and subtropical regions. In this study, we investigated the presence and genetic diversity of Theileria spp., Anaplasma ovis, B.

Identification, Genotyping and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing of Brucella spp. Isolated from Livestock in Egypt [PDF]

, 2019
Brucellosis is a highly contagious zoonosis worldwide with economic and public health impacts. The aim of the present study was to identify Brucella (B.) spp. isolated from animal populations located in different districts of Egypt and to determine their

Cardiovascular Plasticity and Adaptation of High‐Altitude Birds and Mammals

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This schematic depicts the cardiovascular adaptations of mammals and birds to high‐altitude hypoxia. It highlights key phenotypic changes in oxygen transport and cardiac responses, driven by molecular mechanisms including transcriptional regulation and genetic modifications.

Rapid identification of respiratory bacterial pathogens from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in cattle by MALDI-TOF MS [PDF]

, 2019
Respiratory tract infections are a major health problem and indication for antimicrobial use in cattle and in humans. Currently, most antimicrobial treatments are initiated without microbiological results, holding the risk of inappropriate first ...
