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.

Symptoms of selected parasitic diseases in the oral cavity

Journal of Pre-Clinical and Clinical Research, 2020
Introduction Parasitic diseases are caused by many species of protozoa, helminths, and arthropods. Parasitosis can be divided into gastrointestinal, tissue and skin diseases and can appear in many different parts of the body.

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 ...

Design, Synthesis and Structure—Activity Relationships of a Phenotypic Small Library against Protozoan Infections

, 2017
Protozoan infections (Plasmodium spp., Leishmania spp., and Trypanosoma spp.) remain one of the most pressing global health concerns, affecting billions of people and producing unsustainable economic burdens [1].

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.

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

Integrative 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.

Prevalence and risk factors of intestinal protozoan infection among symptomatic and asymptomatic populations in rural and urban areas of southern Algeria

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2021
Background Intestinal parasitic infections are amongst the most common infections worldwide and have been identified as one of the most significant causes of morbidity and mortality among disadvantaged populations.

No Trace of Blastocystis Parasite in Bats Caught in the Western and Southwestern Regions of Iran. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
Despite screening 115 bats across four dominant species (Miniopterus pallidus, Myotis blythii, Rhinopoma microphyllum, and Rhinolophus euryale) from five caves in western and southwestern Iran using PCR, no evidence of Blastocystis infection was found, suggesting these bats are not current reservoirs for this parasite in this region.
