Incorporating sex ratios of nestlings into population viability studies increases knowledge of overall health of endangered populations. Currently, a reliable non-invasive method to identify the sex of golden eagle nestlings is not available; however, claims are commonly made based on morphology. Ten biometric measurements from 43 Scottish golden e...

With limited access to animal health services, and high disease burdens among domesticated animals, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in Australia face higher risk of disease including zoonoses. However, we lack understanding of the contribution of often preventable zoonoses to the health of these communities, which would enable us...

Leprosy has been described in Eurasian red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris; ERS) carcasses since 2014. Studies of ERS carcasses have not provided information about incubation or disease progression in this host but have provided important insights into pathogen presence and distribution throughout the United Kingdom. Here we present field study data on...

Indigenous populations around the world face disproportionately high rates of disease related to the environment and animals. One Health is a concept that has been used effectively to understand and address these health risks. One Health refers to the relationships and interdependencies between animal, human, and environmental health and is an emer...

... LL patients display well detectable antibody levels, in particular IgM directed against M. leprae phenolic glycolipid-I (PGL-I), a cell wall component unique to M. leprae (27), whereas IgG and IgA are detected mostly in lower levels. Various studies have demonstrated that the levels of IgM antibodies against PGL-I correlate well with the bacterial load within individuals (28,29) and thus can be used to indicate M. leprae infection in humans (30)(31)(32)(33) as well as animals (34)(35)(36)(37). ...
... The health of people, wild and domesticated animals, and natural living systems is syndemically connected, and this interplay is a pillar of the concept of One Health [1]. It has been acknowledged since immemorial time in the indigenous cultures of most continents [2,3]. ...
