Clinical and diagnostic evaluation of a wild ocelot () specimen.

Background: Monitoring the health of wild animals under the principles of one health contributes to the prevention of diseases and the preservation of human and animal health, thus contributing to the conservation of species.

Aim: The current study describes the clinical and paraclinical status of an ocelot () captured in Buriticá, Antioquia, Colombia, for research purposes with the aim of contributing to the construction of animal health reference values in the wild, considering the scarcity of published data for the country on capture, management, and paraclinical parameters related to this species.

Methods: For this, hematological parameters, blood chemistry, urine cytochemical analyses, and coprological examinations were carried out.

Titanium dioxide modified with silver by two methods for bactericidal applications.

"Titanium dioxide (TiO) is a semiconductor material that exhibits antibacterial activity due to its photocatalytic properties under ultraviolet light. On the other hand, silver also exhibits strong antibacterial activity towards a wide range of microorganisms and TiO with silver addition exhibits more efficient photocatalytic properties than unmodified TiO. In this work, TiO nanoparticles were synthesized by the hydrothermal method and modified with silver by two different methods: wet impregnation () and incorporation.
