Genotyping Reveals Potential Sources of Human Leptospirosis Outbreaks in Aotearoa New Zealand
ABSTRACT Introduction The introduction of PCR testing for leptospirosis in Aotearoa New Zealand has reduced the availability of serotyping data, and current diagnostic PCRs do not routinely genotype Leptospira. This study genotyped Leptospira from PCR‐confirmed human cases between 2016 and 2023 and compared them with genotypes found in animals to ...

This study shows that young goats outperform sheep in the reversed‐reward contingency task, which is a cognitive test requiring both inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility. The results highlight the importance of cognitive flexibility when solving this type of task, and suggest that the differences between both species may reflect social and ...

Utilização de extratos de sementes de visgueiro, pau-d'óleo e pau-ferro para detectar a presença de lectinas através da atividade hemaglutinante com eritrócitos. [PDF]
A Chapada do Araripe é um berçário riquíssimo em vegetação, que carece de um estudo mais aprofundado sobre as várias espécies existentes. Sabemos que as plantas de um modo geral têm grande importância econômica para a região do Cariri, como também para ...

Drivers of Hirola Antelope Diet Selection in Natural and Managed Habitat in Eastern Kenya
Hirola (Beatragus hunteri) populations in eastern Kenya consumed 17 forage species, favoring the grass Chloris virgata and the forbs Commelina benghalensis and C. diffusa. Nutrient analyses showed that natural habitats offered higher phosphorus, magnesium, and digestibility, whereas managed sites provided more sodium, potassium, and crude protein, with

Analysis of Sexual Behavior in Rams (Ovis aries).
In this study, a matured ram was paired with an estrus ewe and sexual behavior was investigated. All the behavior was recorded by a time-lapse video tape recorder from the start of pairing. The series of unit movements comprising the sexual behavior, the mounting series (MS), was extracted from the record and analyzed quantitatively (n = 774).

Airborne eDNA detection of terrestrial vertebrates is influenced by sampler design, distance, and environmental conditions. Using a targeted qPCR assay, we show that active sampling and coarse‐particle filters significantly improve airborne detection of wallabies, with airborne eDNA detectable at 1 km distances and strongly modulated by sampler ...

Functional Screening of NDUFAF6 Variants in Knockout Cells and Complementary Computational Analysis
We established an ATP‐based functional screening system in NDUFAF6 knockout cells to evaluate the pathogenicity of gene variants associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. Our results highlight the limitations of in silico predictions and underscore the necessity of experimental validation for accurate variant interpretation.

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 ...
