Endangered Przewalski’s Horse, Equus przewalskii, Cloned from Historically Cryopreserved Cells [PDF]

Animals
Cloning from historically cryopreserved cells offers a potential means to restore lost genetic variation or increase the representation of particular lineages within bottlenecked species, provided such biobanked materials are archived for such genetic ...

Major histocompatibility complex variation in the endangered Przewalski's horse. [PDF]

Genetics, 1999
AbstractThe major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a fundamental part of the vertebrate immune system, and the high variability in many MHC genes is thought to play an essential role in recognition of parasites. The Przewalski’s horse is extinct in the wild and all the living individuals descend from 13 founders, most of whom were captured around ...

Social Relationships of Captive Bachelor Przewalski’s Horses and Their Effect on Daily Activity and Space Use [PDF]

Animals
Understanding social relationships in at-risk species held in captivity is vital for their welfare and potential reintroduction. In social species like the Przewalski’s horse (Equus ferus przewalskii), daily time allocation and space use may be ...

Integrative Advances in Equine Genomics From Reference Assemblies to Evolutionary History and Key Traits. [PDF]

Evol Appl
ABSTRACT Horses are major domestic animals and cultural symbols that have accompanied humans for millennia. They underpin transport, agriculture, warfare and sport, and also provide a model for studying domestication, complex traits and adaptive evolution.

The Role of Intestinal Microbial Metabolites in the Immunity of Equine Animals Infected With Horse Botflies

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
The microbiota and its metabolites play an important role in regulating the host metabolism and immunity. However, the underlying mechanism is still not well studied. Thus, we conducted the LC-MS/MS analysis and RNA-seq analysis on Equus przewalskii with

Przewalski’ s Horse ( Equus ferus przewalskii ) Re-intr oduction in the Great Gobi B Strictly Protected Area: from Species to Ecosystem Conservation [PDF]

Mongolian Journal of Biological Sciences, 2007
The Przewalski’s horse ( Equus ferus przewalskii Po ljakov , 1881), or “T akhi” in Mongolian, became extinct in the wild by the mid 1960’ s. The last recorded sightings of Przewalski’s horses occurred in the Dzungarian Gobi desert in SW
