Cutaneous histoplasmosis in a roadkill European badger (Meles meles), Czech Republic Open
Histoplasmosis is caused by a thermally dimorphic ascomycete fungus, Histoplasma capsulatum . Europe has long been considered a non-endemic area for histoplasmosis; however, in recent decades, sporadic cases of histoplasmosis have been con…

Sperm storage of wild cervid species: comparison of available cryoprotectants Open
We compared four diluents (Andromed, dimethylacetamide, dimethyl sulphoxide, Triladyl) used for semen cryopreservation in wild ungulates from the family Cervidae , i.e. roe deer ( Capreolus capreolus ), red deer ( Cervus elaphus ), and fal…

Fresh semen characteristics in captive accipitrid and falconid birds of prey Open
Artificial insemination (AI) is the most frequently used assisted reproductive technique for captive propagation of rare avian species. As semen quality is critical for reproductive success, baseline data are needed for evaluating and sele…

Polychlorinated biphenyl toxicity in the thyroid gland of wild ungulates: an in vitro model Open
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are carcinogens causing endocrine disruption. While production of PCBs is now banned, wildlife exposure still occurs due to environmental contamination. We investigated thyroid toxicity in wild ungulates us…

Reproductive toxicity of fluoroquinolones in birds Open
Fluoroquinolones induce complex adverse effects on avian embryonic development, considerably reducing the performance of incubated eggs and hatching chicks. Cardiotoxicity, which quickens embryonic heart rate, meant that the total number o…

Amino Acid Levels in Muscle Tissue of Six Wild Feathered Species Open
The objective of this study was to determine and compare the levels of amino acids (AAs) in breast and thigh muscles of six species of feathered game of the same age. The experiment involved the following species: wild turkey (Meleagris ga…
