Malnutrition severely harms growth and development in young baboons.

In this case report, the researchers diagnosed a large trichobezoar in a 7-year-old girl with gastrointestinal symptoms and weight loss through endoscopy after inconclusive imaging, highlighting endoscopy's importance for accurate diagnosis and the need for surgical and behavioral intervention to prevent recurrence.

This study identifies a new mutation in the Scd1 gene in a strain of Kunming mice, causing skin and hair defects with the mildest impact among similar mutations.

This study observed mycobacterial infection with M. xenopi in a pet ferret, noting its resistance to doxycycline, and highlighted the potential zoonotic transmission risk associated with such infections.

This study found that the combined use of sugarcane fibre and keratinolytic enzymes reduced hairball excretion in cats.

This case report describes successful treatment of mange in a rabbit using topical selamectin over two weeks.

In this study, adding disinfected feathers to the diet of captive Arctic foxes increased gut bacterial species diversity without changing overall abundance, potentially influencing immune response and physiological performance.

This article explores the rising popularity of body sugaring as a hair removal technique and reports no new research findings.

This study found that social hair plucking in captive rhesus macaques may share traits with both prosocial and aggressive behaviors and is associated with alopecia and hair cortisol levels.

This report from SRUC VS highlighted a suspected case of Schmallenberg virus infection in a calf born to an imported heifer, noting consistent clinical signs and seroconversion in the dam.

The article on the stomach-protecting effects of Cibotium barometz hair was retracted due to unreliable data.

In this study, 10.5% of sheep examined in Ismailia, Egypt, were infested with Sarcoptes scabiei, showing specific molecular and skin alterations.

This case report describes the first documented instance of sarcoptic mange in a pet rabbit in Korea, with successful treatment using weekly ivermectin injections leading to full recovery.

This case study reports that a 4-month-old local male dog with scabiosis due to Sarcoptes scabiei infection improved after receiving a combination of ivermectin, antihistamines, supportive therapies, and sulfur shampoo for 28 days, with new hair growth observed by the 40th day.

In this study, researchers assessed wool quality in sheep and found that the Gentile di Puglia breed, a Merino-derived Italian breed, exhibits finer wool through higher secondary follicle density compared to the non-merinized Sarda breed, suggesting its potential for sustainable wool production.

In this study, researchers generated a mouse mutation called scraggly, related to hair and skin defects, and mapped it to a genetic location on mouse Chromosome 19 distinct from similar mutations.

This study found that social hair plucking in captive rhesus macaques was associated with alopecia and exhibited patterns similar to both prosocial and aggressive behaviors.

In this case report, a 2-month-old dog with scabies showed improvement in skin condition and reduced mite presence 24 days after treatment with simparica, sulfur-based soap, and various topical and oral therapies.

This study found that asebic mice exhibit abnormal sebaceous gland differentiation and insufficient sebum production due to defective regulation of cell processes, despite possessing normally developing sebaceous glands initially.

This study found that ringtailed lemurs consuming leucaena in Berenty absorb mimosine, which causes alopecia without affecting body condition or organ toxicity; this may increase infant mortality due to alopecic mothers.

This case report identified cutaneous epitheliotropic T-cell lymphoma in a 3-year-old male sugar glider after skin biopsies, highlighting the need for thorough diagnostic evaluations in exotic pets.

This study investigated the interdigital glands of moose, detailing their unique green hair coloration and the function of sebaceous and sweat glands, particularly during the rut period.

In this study, inducing zinc deficiency in recently weaned female Tan rabbits led to reduced food consumption, weight loss, and reproductive issues, including inactive uterine and ovarian changes.

This case report describes the successful surgical removal of a trichobezoar in an 8-year-old girl, which extended from her stomach into the duodenum.

This study detected sarcoptic mange in five free-ranging raccoon dogs in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, with four showing severe skin lesions and potential secondary bacterial infections, suggesting they may act as vectors in disease spread.

In this study, treating a rabbit with ear canker using ivermectin, pheniramine maleate, and a honey-turmeric mix resulted in substantial clinical improvement, including reduced itching and restored hair and skin quality.

This study found that rabbits with mange showed significant declines in haemoglobin, PCV, and RBC count, alongside increased TLC and liver enzyme levels. Following treatment with ivermectin and proper management, recovery from the disease was observed.

This study found that essential fatty acid deficiency in rabbits leads to significant degeneration of gonadal tissue, possibly due to impaired anterior pituitary gland function.

This study analyzed animal hairs from 18th-century burial sites in Mazamet, France, reporting distinct hair morphologies consistent with the use of common local animal furs such as goat, badger, cow, or horse, reflecting the modest socioeconomic status of the individuals interred.

This study identified a new mutation in SELH/Bc mice causing distinctive whisker and body hair abnormalities, mapped near the type I keratin cluster on chromosome 11.
