Background
Tuberculosis (TB) due to Mycobacterium caprae is endemic in goat herds and free-ranging wild boars in Spain, causing infections in other livestock or wild animals to a lesser extent. TB ...
Blubber and serum cortisol concentrations as indicators of the stress response and overall health status in striped dolphins
(Elsevier, 2022-07-08)
The impacts of environmental changes and anthropogenic threats in marine mammals are a growing concern for their conservation. In recent years, efforts have been directed to understand how marine mammals ...
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome prevalence and processing fluids use for diagnosis in United States breeding herds
(Frontiers Media, 2022-11-24)
Processing fluids have been recently adopted by the U.S. swine industry as a breeding herd PRRS monitoring tool due to their increased representativeness of animals within the herd. Here, we use the ...
