primary localized histiocytic sarcoma of the lumbar vertebrae in a four-toed hedgehog (atelerix albiventris).	we describe a case of primary localized histiocytic sarcoma of the lumbar vertebrae in a four-toed hedgehog. the case showed aggressive osteolysis of lumbar vertebrae on radiography, and a soft-tissue mass effacing this region was noted, suggesting a neoplastic lesion. no metastatic lesions were apparent. antemortem diagnosis was challenging, and necropsy was performed. histopathological and immunohistochemical findings were consistent with localized histiocytic sarcoma. this report provides doc ...	2020	32848108

molecular identification of cryptosporidium isolates from ill exotic pet animals in japan including a new subtype in cryptosporidium fayeri.	cryptosporidium is an obligate intracellular parasite which can cause fatal diarrheal disease in exotic animals. sugar gliders (petaurus breviceps), hedgehogs (atelerix albiventris), chinchillas (chinchilla lanigera), and common leopard geckos (eublepharis macularius) are popular exotic animals commonly sold in pet shops in japan. we herein investigated the species and subtypes of cryptosporidium in these animals. cryptosporidium fayeri was detected in a sugar glider in a japanese animal hospita ...	2020	32862916

complete genome analysis confirms that the pygmy marmoset adenovirus is a variant of the skunk adenovirus 1 - short communication.	the complete genomic sequence along with phylogenetic analyses of an adenovirus (adv), isolated from a dead captive pygmy marmoset (callithrix pygmaea) from a hungarian zoo is reported. earlier, based on the phylogenetic analysis of the sequence of a pcr-amplified fragment from the dna polymerase gene, the pygmy marmoset adv (pmadv) has been reported to cluster closest to certain chiropteran advs. in the following years similar advs were discovered in additional mammalian hosts, including a skun ...	2020	33128521
