Eur Arch Psychiatry Neurol Sci

Division of Statistics, University of California, Davis 95616.

Published: July 1990

The hypothesis is proposed that the abnormal seasonality of schizophrenic births is partly a consequence of seasonal variation of conception and of an associated seasonal variation of risk of premature delivery.

Background: There is very little information available about the health status of young stallions from the German Warmblood population that will, once licensed, shape the future of equestrian sport and horse breeding.

Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence of clinical findings at licensing examinations of candidate stallions and the influences of season of birth, age at licensing, year of licensing, and the evaluator on the distribution of recorded findings.

Study Design: Retrospective observational study.

Objective: To describe the prevalence, clinical findings, lesions, and risk factors associated with chlamydial infections in free-ranging raptors presented to a university veterinary medical teaching hospital.

Methods: Medical records retrospectively searched for raptors admitted from January 1993 through April 2022 were tested for Chlamydia spp infections using quantitative PCR (qPCR), immunohistochemistry, culture, and sequencing. Findings were collected and analyzed.

Identifying processes that promote coral reef recovery and resilience is crucial as ocean warming becomes more frequent and severe. Sexual reproduction is essential for the replenishment of coral populations and maintenance of genetic diversity; however, the ability for corals to reproduce may be impaired by marine heatwaves that cause coral bleaching. In 2014 and 2015, the Hawaiian Islands experienced coral bleaching with differential bleaching susceptibility in the species Montipora capitata, a dominant reef-building coral in the region.

Prevalence of pathogens in abnormal honey bees in South Korea, 2020-2023.

Department of Veterinary Pathology, College of Veterinary Medicine, Seoul National University, Republic of Korea.

South Korea's beekeeping industry has been facing a major crisis due to colony collapse disorder (CCD), manifesting since the winter of 2021. CCD in South Korea is presumed to be caused by a combination of factors, including an abnormal climate, pesticide use, declining source plants, and increased honey bee diseases. We examined the prevalence of 12 major honey bee () pathogens by sampling 3,707 colonies with abnormal behavior and suspected pathogen infections from 1,378 apiaries nationwide between 2020 and 2023.

Infectious reproductive diseases pose a significant economic threat to sheep and goat operations. Maintaining records, a defined breeding season, and recognizing deviations from normal are crucial to herd health programs. Signs of suboptimal fertility, such as repeat breeding, unexpected open females, and abnormal gestational distributions, warrant further investigation.
