Husbandry factors are associated with skin, gastrointestinal and ophthalmic disorders in leopard geckos (Eublepharis macularius)

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Research into disorders in captive reptiles is notably sparse in the UK, despite the popularity of various species as pets. This study aimed to survey and investigate risk factors for disorders of leopard geckos in the UK. Methods Medical records for leopard geckos presenting at three veterinary practices between 2019 and 2023 were ...

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Human Intestinal Parasites in Roudehen, Tehran Province, Iran

Iranian Journal of Parasitology, 2017
Background: Intestinal parasitic infections are among the most common infections and health problems worldwide. Due to the lack of epidemiologic information of such infections, the prevalence of, and the risk factors for, enteric parasites were ...

Emerging role of γδ T cells in vaccine‐mediated protection from infectious diseases

Clinical & Translational Immunology, 2019
γδ T cells are fascinating cells that bridge the innate and adaptive immune systems. They have long been known to proliferate rapidly following infection; however, the identity of the specific γδ T cell subsets proliferating and the role of this ...

Response of Fecal Bacteria and Fungi to Tannin‐Rich Diets in Sika Deer (Cervus nippon): Evidence from Both Feeding Experiments and Field Investigations

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Feeding with tannin‐rich diets altered the fecal microbial composition and increased the relative abundance of tannin‐degrading microbes. We hypothesize that fecal bacteria and fungi may play important roles in helping herbivores adapt to tannin‐rich diets but respond to different tannin concentrations varies.

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

Integrative 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

Integrative 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.
