Chromosome Instability in Pony of Esperia Breed Naturally Infected by Intestinal Strongylidae

Animals, 2022
The Pony of Esperia is an Italian autochthonous horse breed reared in the wild on the Aurunci and Ausoni Mountains. Currently, it is considered an endangered breed, as its population consists of 1623 animals. It is therefore essential to identify all aspects that can improve the management and economy of its breeding, favoring its diffusion.

Seasonal changes in the parasite prevalence of a small Malagasy lemur species (Lepilemur edwardsi)

Integrative Zoology, Volume 18, Issue 3, Page 427-439, May 2023., 2023
The folivorous Malagasy primate Lepilemur edwardsi living in the dry deciduous forests of western Madagascar shows a seasonal increase of intestinal parasite prevalence from the wet to the dry season. The increase in intestinal parasites is presumably caused by a decrease in resource availability and quality in the habitat of L. edwardsi. Ectoparasite (
