MULTIPLE SEX-ASSOCIATED REGIONS AND A PUTATIVE SEX CHROMOSOME IN ZEBRAFISH REVEALED BY RAD MAPPING AND POPULATION GENOMICS.

Multiple sex-associated regions and a putative sex chromosome in zebrafish revealed by RAD mapping and population genomics.

Within vertebrates, major sex determining genes can differ among taxa and even within species.In zebrafish (Danio rerio), neither heteromorphic sex chromosomes nor single sex determination genes of large effect, like Sry in mammals, have yet been identified.Furthermore, environmental factors can influence zebrafish sex determination.Although progre

Clinical Presentation and Serologic Response during a Rabies Epizootic in Captive Common Vampire Bats (Desmodus rotundus)

We report mortality events in a group of 123 common vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus) captured in México and housed for a rabies vaccine efficacy study in Throat Spray Madison, Wisconsin.Bat mortalities occurred in México and Wisconsin, but rabies cases reported herein are only those that occurred after arrival in Madison (n = 15).Bats wer

Detection of Viable but Nonculturable E. coli Induced by Low-Level Antimicrobials Using AI-Enabled Hyperspectral Microscopy

Rapid detection of bacterial pathogens is essential for food safety and public health, yet bacteria can evade detection by entering a viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state under sublethal stress, such as antimicrobial residues.These bacteria remain active but undetectable by standard culture-based methods without extensive enrichment, necessitating
