Lymphoma in two wild tawny frogmouths (Podargus strigoides) in Victoria.

Lymphoma was diagnosed in two wild tawny frogmouths (Podargus strigoides) presented to the Australian Wildlife Health Centre, Healesville Sanctuary, Victoria. The first case presented with extensive feather loss refractory to treatment. Bacterial and fungal folliculitis and beak and feather disease virus were excluded as primary causes, and the bird was euthanised due to poor response to treatment.

Pre-eclampsia and future cardiovascular disease risk: Assessing British clinicians' knowledge and practice.

Objective: To explore UK-based clinicians' knowledge of long-term cardiovascular disease (CVD) risks after pre-eclampsia and capture current risk management practice.

Study Design: A voluntary online survey was designed to explore clinicians' perception and management of CVD risks after pre-eclampsia. Distribution occurred May-July 2022 via social media and email.

A Case Report and a Literature Review of Traumatic Abdominal Aortic Dissection: An Uncommon Complication Following Vertebral Fractures Due to Blunt Trauma.

Aortic dissection is a rare consequence of blunt trauma with potentially fatal consequences requiring prompt identification and management. The most common site for dissection or transection is the thoracic aorta due to anatomical fixation points. Current literature describes four cases of traumatic abdominal aortic dissection with intimal tear associated with vertebral fractures due to falling.

Experimental genetic crosses in tsetse flies of the livestock pathogen Trypanosoma congolense savannah.

Background: In tropical Africa animal trypanosomiasis is a disease that has severe impacts on the health and productivity of livestock in tsetse fly-infested regions. Trypanosoma congolense savannah (TCS) is one of the main causative agents and is widely distributed across the sub-Saharan tsetse belt. Population genetics analysis has shown that TCS is genetically heterogeneous and there is evidence for genetic exchange, but to date Trypanosoma brucei is the only tsetse-transmitted trypanosome with experimentally proven capability to undergo sexual reproduction, with meiosis and production of haploid gametes.
