Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), considered a zoonotic agent of wildlife origin, can infect various animal species, including in free-range and captive environments. Detecting susceptible species potential reservoirs is crucial for preventing the transmission, spread, genetic evolution, further emergence viral variants that are major threats to global health. This study aimed detect exposure or infection by SARS-CoV-2 420 animals from 40 different...
Hemograms and plasma chemistry values are presented for six male female, adult, clinically normal, captive Spanish imperial eagles (Aquila adalberti). No value was substantially different from that which might be predicted on the basis of work in other related species. This data should prove useful interpretation laboratory findings future clinical cases this endangered species eagle.
Melioidosis is an emerging infectious disease of humans and animals caused by the bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei endemic in tropical regions, principally Southeast Asia northern Australia. In September 2017, after Hurricane Maria impacted Dolphin Discovery facility Federation St. Kitts Nevis, a juvenile male bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) died within 96 hr presenting with acute anorexia, lethargy, respiratory distress. Histopathology demonstrated necrohemorrhagic...
In the setting of recent COVID-19 pandemic, transmission SARS-CoV-2 to animals has been reported in both domestic and wild is a matter concern. Given genetic functional similarities humans, non-human primates merit particular attention. case lemurs, generally considered endangered, they are believed be susceptible infection. We have conducted study for evidence infection among 43 lemurs Mundomar, zoological park Benidorm, Spain. They belong two endangered lemur species, 23 black-and-white...
The evaluation of circulating concentrations cortisol associated with controlled cessation suckling encompassing the weaning process in bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) under managed care has fundamental and practical implications to enhance improve management welfare practices. This study involved five cow–calf pairs which calves were 12 19 months at accustomed a fish diet. Blood samples collected from cows between 0800 1100 h episodically for two weeks before day (Day 0) on Days 1,...
Evaluation of metabolic characteristics encompassing short-term performance-based physical activities has fundamental and practical implications to enhance management practices associated with dolphin–human swim interactions. A total four male six female bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) were involved in the study. All 10 animals first assigned a no-swim interaction group as control and, after period 5 77 days routine training performance activities, group. For group, or early morning...
