Article Abstract

is an important zoonotic parasite which can parasitize in the intestines of humans and various animals. However, the information about the prevalence and genetic diversity of in goats in China is limited. It is yet to be known whether Yunnan black goats, a unique goat breed in subtropical Yunnan province, southwestern China, are infected with Thus, a total of 907 fecal samples were collected from Yunnan black goats in five regions in Yunnan province, to estimate the prevalence and genotypes of using a PCR-based approach. The prevalence is 4.2% (38/907) in Yunnan black goats by nested amplification of the -giardin (bg) gene, and the genotypes are identified as assemblage E, with 5 novel subtypes (E-E). Multilocus sequence typing revealed that 11, 18, and 38 samples were amplifiable on tpi (triose phosphate isomerase), gdh (glutamate dehydrogenase), and bg locus, respectively, and identified three novel multilocus genotypes (MLGs): MLGE9-MLGE11. To our knowledge, this is the first report of prevalence and genotypes in Yunnan black goats in China, which extended the host range of and provided basic data for controlling infection in Yunnan black goats.

The widespread distribution and circulation of γ-CoV in the ecological environment may lead to sustained transmission and economic loss. To better understand the diversity of γ-CoV in wild birds, we collected 482 wild-bird faecal samples from Yunnan, encompassing 14 bird species.

This study is a systematic critical review aimed at rigorously evaluating the potential of larvae (black soldier fly larvae, BSFL) as a sustainable protein source for animal feed through a standardized methodological framework. To address the significant challenge posed by the increasing global demand for protein feed to agricultural sustainability, we retrieved relevant studies published between October 2008 and June 2025 from three core databases-PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science-and conducted study screening and data extraction in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. BSFL represent a viable alternative, with a high protein content of 40-60% and efficient organic waste conversion capabilities.

Given the widespread conflicts between humans and birds in contexts such as agricultural production, airports, and new energy installations, the development and application of bird deterrence technologies hold significant importance for both safeguarding human interests and advancing the cause of wildlife conservation. Artificial sounds are one of the most widely used methods for bird deterrence; however, there is a lack of systematic research on the effects of sound frequency and their combination. The black-necked crane (Grus nigricollis), a first-class nationally protected wild animal of China, shares some of its habitats with human agricultural activities.
