FidoCure, a leader in AI-driven precision oncology for dogs, is excited to share landmark findings on canine splenic hemangiosarcoma at the 2024 Veterinary Cancer Society (VCS) Annual Conference. This research advances the fight against the most prevalent and deadly canine cancer.

In a new study published in Nature Communications Biology, wildlife rangers from the Uganda Wildlife Authority have demonstrated their ability to generate precise and reliable data on lion populations in Uganda’s Nile Delta, a critical stronghold for African lions.

The study reveals that wildlife rangers, a critical component of global conservation efforts but often underutilised in scientific research, can play a pivotal role in the conservation science surrounding the world’s most beloved big cat.

Researchers at University College Cork (UCC) in Ireland have found that the gut microbiome affects the health of wild birds, which could impact their survival rates and ultimately population sizes. 

The first of its kind study published today in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), led by UCC, provides direct evidence of the role of the gut microbiome in the ecology and evolution of natural populations. 

Veterinary entomology is a small but critical discipline that supports the livestock industry, and the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture is working to increase training and visibility to fill the huge need.

Becky Trout Fryxell, professor in the Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology and among the approximately 25 veterinary entomologists in the United States and Canada, secured a $600,000 grant that is part of the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture’s investment of $11.6 million in Research and Extension Experiences for Undergraduates program.

Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, are developing a promising method to support the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) in horses. Awareness of the prevalence of IBD in both humans and animals has increased in recent decades, and the need for effective and affordable diagnostic methods has become increasingly urgent. This study is the first to show an association between the gut microbiota composition and chronic types of IBD in horses.
