farm animal diseases :: Article Creator Controlling Infectious Disease Between Wildlife And Livestock On Shared Rangeland The H5N1 bird flu — widespread in wild birds worldwide and the cause of outbreaks in poultry, U.S. Dairy cows and even several recent human cases among agricultural workers – is a prime example of mixed species disease transmission occurring where wildlife and livestock interact. Sapna Chitlapilly Dass, Ph.D., assistant professor in microbial ecology and microbiome interactions, Department of Animal Science, is studying the ongoing threat of emerging pathogens that can necessitate prompt deployment of medical countermeasures for life-saving interventions. And Dass, a Texas A&M AgriLife researcher in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, wants to nip it in the bud, so to speak. She wants to address the potential of disease transmission at the rangeland level rather than waiting until it reaches the SARS-CoV-2 vir...

foxhound :: Article Creator Foxhound MoD Vehicles 'keep Breaking Down' Soldiers say the Foxhound cannot handle the heat in Iraq and Afghanistan Armoured vehicles designed to protect British troops from roadside bombs keep breaking down, the BBC understands. Foxhounds - first deployed in 2012 - were designed to safeguard soldiers in a blast and operate in hot conditions.

teacup maltese :: Article Creator Go Small Or Go Home With These 15 Teacup Dog Breeds For people who love small dogs, there may be no pooch more appealing than one of the teacup dog breeds. After all, while larger pups can make great choices for farm and guard dog work, there's something about a snuggly, super little lap dog that is so sweet. Especially a really tiny doggo like a teacup Pomeranian, pug, or Chihuahua. But before you snap up one of these pocket-sized versions of man's best friend, you might want to think twice.

Teacup dogs are not recognized or endorsed by the American Kennel Club, so there are no standards for any teacup breed. But generally they are defined as weighing less than the full-sized bree...

snub nosed monkey :: Article Creator The Monkey Who Went Into The Cold This story appears in the February 2011 issue of National Geographic magazine. Tucked high in the Qin Ling Mountains of central China, a nimble primate with a peculiar mug has conquered a pitiless landscape. The golden snub-nosed monkey is one of five related species—remnants of once widespread populations whose ranges were squeezed by climate change after the last ice age. Enduring groups, living in territorial bands that can top 400 animals, are being squeezed again by logging, human settlement, and hunters wanting meat, bones (said to have medicinal properties), and luxurious fur.

About 20,000 of the golden variety remain on Earth. Some 4,000 inhabit the mountainous region where Chinese offic...
