Comparatively high genetic connectivity of red deer management units in Saxony-Anhalt within a standardized supraregional framework

Abstract Maintaining genetic connectivity is a central requirement for the long-term persistence of wide-ranging wildlife populations in increasingly human-modified landscapes. Population genetic approaches provide valuable tools for evaluating connectivity patterns and identifyi...

Completion of the 5′ end of the porcine teschovirus genome reveals a functional S-segment and enables reverse genetics

Porcine teschoviruses (PTVs) are swine-specific picornaviruses associated with neurological and systemic disease, ranging from severe paralytic Teschen disease to milder forms of porcine encephalomyelitis, known as Talfan disease. Despite their global distribution and veterinary...
