Workplace-related environmental exposure and its potential influence on hair mineral and gut microbiota in cloned working dogs.. Four genetically identical cloned dogs were produced from a single donor using the somatic cell nuclear transfer technique. They stayed in the same facility during youth period, and were later assigned to different locations according to their roles as working dogs. In this study, we report observations from four genetically identical cloned working dogs exposed to different environments, including an airport and a police station, for two years. Hair and fecal samples were collected to assess potential environmental influences on mineral content and intestinal mic…

Formative research for a One Health, animal-inclusive approach to Community-Led Total Sanitation in rural Mali..

The dingo is a lineage of dog found in Australia. It is a medium-sized canine that possesses a lean, hardy body adapted for speed, agility, and stamina.

The dingo is closely related to the New Guinea singing dog: their lineage spli…

It is also known medically as micturition, voiding, uresis, or, rarely, emiction, and known colloquially by various names including peeing, weeing, pissing, and euphemistically number one. The process of urination is under voluntary control in healthy humans and other animals, but may occur as a reflex in infants, some elderly individuals, and those with neurological injury. It is normal for adult humans to urinate up to seven times during the day. In some animals, in addition to expelling waste material, urina…
