Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the cardiac conduction system in African lions, particularly focusing on differences in QT intervals between wild and zoo-kept lions.
- Researchers recorded ECGs from wild, conscious lions in Africa and compared them to those from anaesthetized zoo lions, hypothesizing that zoo lions would show shorter QT intervals.
- The findings revealed significantly longer QT intervals in wild lions (398 vs. 297 ms), indicating functional differences in cardiac health tied to physical fitness that could impact conservation efforts and veterinary care.
Pathogenic spp., and have been reported to infect and cause severe enteritis and enterotoxemia in African ( spp.) and Asian elephants ().
