DOI: 10.1016/j.ijppaw.2021.11.002
Abstract: The Australian sea lion (Neophoca cinerea) is an endangered and declining otariid species, with a high rate of pup mortality associated with endemic hookworm (Uncinaria sanguinis) infection a suspected contributor to this decline. Injected ivermectin… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1755-0998.13443
Abstract: With the advent of chromatin‐interaction maps, chromosome‐level genome assemblies have become a reality for a wide range of organisms. Scaffolding quality is, however, difficult to judge. To explore this gap, we generated multiple chromosome‐scale genome… read more here.

Mitigating disease risk in an endangered pinniped: early hookworm elimination optimizes the growth and health of Australian sea lion pups
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Frontiers in Veterinary Science"
DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2023.1161185
Abstract: The Australian sea lion (Neophoca cinerea) experiences high pup mortality of seasonally alternating severity, partly attributed to endemic hookworm (Uncinaria sanguinis) infection. To further explore health outcomes of early hookworm elimination, a treatment trial was… read more here.
