Domination Versus Sisterhoods in the Blood Microbiota of Migrating Birds: Patterns of Within‐ and Between‐Individual Blood Parasite Diversity Revealed Through Metabarcoding

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Avian haemosporidian blood parasites are typically identified through Sanger sequencing of a partial cytochrome b fragment, the MalAvi barcoding region. Next‐generation sequencing is seldom used for avian blood parasite identification; this study demonstrates a higher detection rate of co‐infections via metabarcoding and its possible implications ...

Putting Rodents at the Center of One Health Programs: A Narrative Synthesis

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Rodents link human, animal, and environmental health across diverse ecosystems. Rodent diversity underpins both zoonotic disease risk and ecosystem function. Environmental change reshapes rodent communities and spillover dynamics. Rodents act as reservoirs, amplifiers, and sentinels of emerging pathogens.

Drivers of Host–Pathogen Community Assemblages in European Forests and Urban Green Spaces

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite advances in understanding infectious diseases, the persistence and re‐emergence of wildlife pathogens continue to raise public and veterinary health concerns. This study investigates the relationship between biodiversity and rodent‐borne diseases in Europe, focusing on habitat alterations and their impact on rodent diversity.

Effects of Brassica napus seed meal amendment on soil populations of resident bacteria and Naegleria americana, and the unsuitability of arachidonic acid as a protozoan-specific marker [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
application/pdfBacterial and protozoan populations were monitored in orchard soil amended with Brassica napus seed meal. Numbers of fluorescent pseudomonads peaked one week following incorporation of the amendment and declined thereafter, whereas ...

High efficacy in vitro selection procedure for generating transgenic parasites of Plasmodium berghei using an antibiotic toxic to rodent hosts

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
The malaria parasite Plasmodium berghei is one of the main rodent malaria models. A shortcoming of this model parasite is its low flexibility in genetic manipulation.

Use of PFU protozoan community structural and functional characteristics in assessment of water quality in a large, highly polluted freshwater lake in China

open access: yes, 2005
Structural and functional parameters of protozoan communities colonizing on PFU (polyurethane foam unit) artificial substrate were assessed as indicators of water quality in the Chaohu Lake, a large, shallow and highly polluted freshwater lake in China ...

Impact of climate on Australian, non‐Vector‐borne infectious animal diseases: A scoping review

open access: yesAustralian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Changes to Australia's climate continue to be increasingly relevant for human, animal and planetary health, and have far‐reaching impacts on disease emergence and food security. There is a deficit of knowledge in Australia around how climatic conditions are affecting infectious animal diseases, beyond the more obvious spatial distribution changes of ...

Computed tomographic diagnosis and treatment of pneumolabyrinth in a mare with temporohyoid osteoarthropathy

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Pneumolabyrinth, which is the presence of gas within the labyrinth of the inner ear, can be associated with severe peripheral vestibular signs. This report describes a case of pneumolabyrinth in a horse that presented with vestibular ataxia. An 8‐year‐old Quarter Horse mare that presented with cranial nerve VII deficits underwent a standing ...
