Phenological variation in parasite load and inflammatory response in a lizard with an asynchronous reproductive cycle

Jimena Rivera-Rea et al.

Summary: This study presents the first comparison of phenological variation in parasite load and inflammatory response in a lizard with asynchronous male and female gonadal cycles. The results suggest that parasite load differs between sexes and seasons, but there is no relationship between parasite load, body condition, and inflammatory response. The study highlights the complex interactions between hosts and parasites, which are influenced by both environmental and internal factors.

Molecular Detection of Feline Coronavirus in Captive Non-Domestic Felids from Zoological Facilities

Gabriele Ratti et al.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of feline coronavirus in captive non-domestic felids from Northern Italy. The overall prevalence was found to be 7.9%, with the virus detected in tiger cubs. The results highlight the need for control programs to prevent the devastating effects of the virus on animal welfare and conservation programs.

The Effects of DNA Extraction Kits and Primers on Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Microbial Community in Freshwater Sediments

Zihan Shi et al.

Summary: DNA-based sequencing technology has revolutionized microbial ecology and environmental studies. This study investigated the biases introduced by DNA extraction kits and primer sets on prokaryotic and micro-eukaryotic communities. The results showed that different kits and primer sets had varied effects on microbial communities. Based on the findings, it is recommended to use the DNeasy PowerSoil Kit with the EK primer set to capture abundant micro-eukaryotic taxa from freshwater sediment samples.
