Rat Hepatitis E Virus ( RHEV ) in Mus musculus and Rattus norvegicus in Northwestern Italy
INTRODUCTION: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) represents a major public health concern. Beyond the main zoonotic genotypes HEV-3 and HEV-4, with pigs and wild boars recognized as the primary reservoirs of infection, a genetically distinct hepevirus of rodent origin (species Rocahepevirus...

Background/Objectives: Regional antimicrobial-resistance surveillance can be strengthened by linking phenotypic susceptibility data with genomic evidence. We characterized chicken-associated commensal bacteria from Northern Hungary and examined resistance-gene evidence in availab...

Abstract A 15‐year‐2‐month‐old, male, neutered domestic shorthair cat was presented for a 1‐week history of increased respiratory effort and declining appetite. Point‐of‐care ultrasound diagnosed tri‐cavitary effusion, and echocardiography revealed the presence of multiple free‐f...

Background/Objectives: Effective control of Newcastle disease (ND) requires a reduction in virus shedding and transmission. While recombinant herpesvirus of turkey vectored Newcastle disease (rHVT-ND) vaccines induce strong systemic immunity, their ability to generate early mucos...

Who chooses the nest? An experimental test of nest cover selection
Abstract Nesting site selection has key fitness consequences for both parents and their offspring. Despite previous investigations of the factors influencing the nesting decisions of varied taxa, the relative roles of the sexes in nesting decisions in species with biparental care...

Bile acid (BA) dysmetabolism is implicated in canine chronic inflammatory enteropathy (CIE), but fasting serum profiles across treatment-response groups remain poorly characterized. This exploratory observational study analyzed pretreatment serum from dogs subsequently classified...

Abstract Multiple myeloma (MM) is an inflammation-driven plasma cell malignancy influenced by the bone marrow microenvironment. Dysregulated cytokine networks and neuroimmune factors may contribute to disease progression and extramedullary disease (EMD), a high-risk variant with...

Hypothyroidism resulting from follicular‐compact thyroid carcinoma in a dog
Abstract A 13‐year‐old, spayed, female beagle, weighing 21 kg, was presented with a cervical nodule that had appeared about 15 days earlier. On palpation, a firm, slightly mobile mass measuring approximately 4 cm in diameter was detected in the thyroid region. The topography of t...

Parasitic skin mites associated with wild birds are understudied members of host–parasite systems in Europe despite their ecological importance, potential role as disease vectors, and effects on host fitness. Using a multidisciplinary approach combining faunistic, ecological, and...

Complex effects of sex reversal on reproductive success in wild frogs
Sex reversal, when the environment overrides genotypic sex determination, may hasten or delay climate-driven extinction in ectothermic animals, depending on sex-reversed individuals’ reproductive ability and offspring viability. Empirically, next to nothing is known about these t...

Preclinical evaluation of naturally derived viral nucleic acids in combination cancer immunotherapy
Abstract Effective cancer immunotherapy often requires coordinated activation of innate and adaptive immune responses. While the previous studies have primarily focused on whole oncolytic viruses, synthetic or engineered viral nucleic acids, or inactivated viral particles, the th...

Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa combines intrinsic resistance, adaptive plasticity, and biofilm formation, making treatment failure common in veterinary and human medicine. We examined whether geraniol and Tris-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (Tris-EDTA) modulate marbofloxacin...
