Draft de novo Genome Assembly of the Elusive Jaguarundi, Puma yagouaroundi. [PDF]

Journal of Heredity, 2021
AbstractThe Puma lineage within the family Felidae consists of 3 species that last shared a common ancestor around 4.9 million years ago. Whole-genome sequences of 2 species from the lineage were previously reported: the cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) and the mountain lion (Puma concolor).

Genetic variability of Herpailurus yagouaroundi, Puma concolor and Panthera onca (Mammalia, Felidae) studied using Felis catus microsatellites [PDF]

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2006
We used four microsatellite loci (Fca08, Fca45, Fca77 and Fca96) from the domestic cat, Felis catus, to investigate genetic variability in specimens of Herpailurus yagouaroundi (jaguarundi, otter cat, eyra), Puma concolor (cougar, mountain lion, puma ...

Putative progressive and abortive feline leukemia virus infection outcomes in captive jaguarundis (Puma yagouaroundi) [PDF]

Virology Journal, 2017
Background Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is an exogenous gammaretrovirus of domestic cats (Felis catus) and some wild felids. The outcomes of FeLV infection in domestic cats vary according to host susceptibility, virus strain, and infectious challenge ...

Consumption of an adult Puma yagouaroundi (Felidae) by the snake Boa constrictor (Boidae) in Central Mexico [PDF]

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2011
Few felids have been recorded as being preyed upon by the boa constrictor snake (Boa constrictor). Documentation of predation on felids by reptiles is scarce, and natural predators of the adult jaguarundi (Puma yagouaroundi) are poorly known.

Living in the Pyrocene: Assemblage-Wide Terrestrial Vertebrate Responses to Mega-Fires in the Pantanal Wetlands. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
More than 60% of Serra do Amolar within the Pantanal Wetlands, Brazil, was burned in 2020. Nine vertebrate species showed a dependency on forest areas, which are more vulnerable to fires in this region, despite the fire not having shown a direct effect on the occupation.

Molecular Detection of Toxoplasma gondii in Enclosures of African Primates (Papio papio and Papio hamadryas) at the Municipal Zoo of Bauru, São Paulo State, Brazil. [PDF]

J Med Primatol
ABSTRACT Toxoplasmosis is one of the most prevalent parasitic infections in animals and humans worldwide, attracting the attention of many researchers who, in recent decades, have identified the sources of Toxoplasma gondii infections to optimize the adoption of preventive measures. In previous studies, it has been found that humans are infected mainly

Genomic Insights Into the Body Size Evolution in Felidae (Mammalia: Carnivora). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study performed reannotation of the genomes of two felid species and conducted the first genomic analysis of body size variation and evolution in Felidae. Our results demonstrate that felid body size evolution is driven by adaptive changes in both core signaling pathways and individual key genes.
