Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the presence of antibodies to 13 livestock and zoonotic pathogens in 164 southern pudu deer in Chile from 2011 to 2023, revealing that 20.18% of wild and 30.91% of captive pudus showed exposure to these pathogens.
- - It found that fawn pudus are at a higher risk of infection compared to adults, and those living in free-range conditions are less likely to contract certain parasites.
- - This research marks the first evidence of livestock pathogen exposure in South American wildlife, indicating potential livestock-to-wildlife transmission in Chile’s temperate forests, and linking a past zoo outbreak to abortions among captive pudus.
Molecular and phylogenetic analysis of herpesviruses in endangered free-ranging cervids of Chile: ovine gammaherpesvirus-2-A novel threat to wild and domestic animal health in Chilean Patagonia.

Introduction: Herpesvirus infections have been highlighted as emerging diseases affecting wildlife health and the conservation of several taxa. Malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) and infectious keratoconjunctivitis (IKC) are two viruses that infect wild ruminants. Nevertheless, epidemiological data on herpesviruses in South American wild ruminants are limited.

Whether a modified double-scan technique with overlap of surfaces will improve implant placement is unclear.
Purpose: The purpose of this prospective clinical study was to evaluate the 3-dimensional position and the correlation of 6 dental implants in participants with a completely edentulous maxilla using a mucosa-supported flapless surgical guide designed with 3 matched digital surfaces obtained with a modified double-scan protocol.
Chilean Patients' Perception of Their Oral Health-Related Quality of Life After Bichectomy.
Patient Prefer Adherence
September 2022
Objective: To describe the quality of life associated with oral health in patients who have had bichectomy surgery in Chile using the Spanish version of the health-Related Quality of Life instrument (HRQOL-sp).
Material And Methods: We designed a cross-sectional study. The HRQOL-sp scale was administered to dental patients in a private clinic who had bichectomy surgery between December 2020 and June 2021.
Background: Dental and oral anomalies are among the most common long-term side effects of childhood cancer therapy.
Aim: To evaluate chemotherapy as a risk factor for caries lesions and gingivitis in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treated with the ALL IC-BFM 2009 chemotherapy protocol.
Design: A retrospective cohort study was designed.
