DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-83823-8
Abstract: Genomes retain records of demographic changes and evolutionary forces that shape species and populations. Remnant populations of African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) in South Africa, with varied histories, provide an opportunity to investigate signatures left in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jmammal/gyx073
Abstract: Fecal glucocorticoid metabolites (FGMs) are commonly used as indicators of an animal's stress response in behavioral and ecophysiological studies. FGM assays provide a noninvasive and efficient means of assessing adrenocortical activity. We used 12 African… read more here.

Viral Population Diversity during Co-Infection of Foot-And-Mouth Disease Virus Serotypes SAT1 and SAT2 in African Buffalo in Kenya
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Viruses"
DOI: 10.3390/v14050897
Abstract: African buffalo are the natural reservoirs of the SAT serotypes of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) in sub-Saharan Africa. Most buffalo are exposed to multiple FMDV serotypes early in life, and a proportion of them become… read more here.
