Wild goat (Capra aegagrus) is one of the most prominent mountain mammals dispersed in many habitats in Iran. However, few studies on the relationship between this species and its habitat have been conducted. This species is recognized as one of the main food source for highly endangered species such as cheetah and leopard. In this study which lasted from fall 2009 through summer 2011, seasona...

this syndrome is a shock-like hyper metabolic myopathy triggered in susceptible animals by stress. capture myopathy (c.m.) is a commonly occurring condition in mammals following trapping and transportation. in this case 12 to 24 hours after transportation of red deer (cevus elaphus) and wild goats (capra ibex) clinical signs such as: muscular tremor, ataxia, recumbency, hyperthermia, tachyca...

background: studies concerning ticks were of interest to evaluate the distribution and composition of species affecting live stock, thus it was a main step in our knowledge of the pathogens that they may transmit by tick. methods: a collection of 21 adult female and 15 male hard ticks, all is representing a single species of tick collected under the tail of wild goat. the specimens preserved in...

OBJECTIVE To identify a strain of contagious ecthyma virus from goats that possesses the appropriate characteristics for an effective vaccine for goats. ANIMALS 25 goat kids used for vaccine development and 100 goat kids used for evaluation of vaccine efficacy. PROCEDURES 5 strains of contagious ecthyma virus were tested in a vaccination-challenge study to identify the best strain to be the...

Bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) viruses are pestiviruses that have been isolated from domestic and wild ruminants. There is serologic evidence of pestiviral infection in more than 40 species of free-range and captive mammals. Vertical transmission can produce persistently infected animals that are immunotolerant to the infecting strain of Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) and shed virus throughout...
