A general framework for modeling pathogen transmission in co-roosting host communities. [PDF]

open access: yesEcology
Abstract Cross‐species transmission of pathogens can be facilitated by frequent contact among wildlife. Cross‐species transmission is often driven by phylogenetic similarity between host species, but the role this plays when multiple host species co‐roost is unknown.

COMPARATIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF MESENTERIAL LYMPH NODES IN VULPES LAGOPUS

open access: yesScientific Notes Kazan Bauman State Academy of Veterinary Medicine, 2021
Lymph nodes are an active biological filters in which pathogens are retained and phagocy-tosed. Lymph nodules are dynamic structures of the lymph nodes. They form and disappear depend-ing on the presence of stress factors of various natures. The article presents the parameters of mes-enteric lymph nodes of carnivores in comparison with regional lymph ...

Fecal glucocorticoid metabolites as an indicator of adrenocortical activity in Arctic foxes (Vulpes lagopus) and recommendations for future studies

open access: yesPolar Biology, 2021
Measuring fecal glucocorticoid metabolites (fGCMs) is a widely used, non-invasive method for studies of stress in vertebrates. To study physiological responses in wild Arctic foxes (Vulpes lagopus) to perceived stressors such as fluctuating food ...
