comparative analyses of coproscopical techniques to diagnose enteroparasites in a group of captive indian peafowl (pavo cristatus).	captive animals commonly have infections by direct life cycle parasites, since they are easily transmitted between individuals. however, diagnosing these infections in the laboratory is challenging due to the wide variety of parasite, their life stages and to the variety of available diagnose techniques, being difficult to choose the best one. the present study sampled a group of captive indian peafowl (pavo cristatus) from são paulo zoological park foundation, são paulo, brazil, to test and com ...	2020	33128866
hearing in indian peafowl (pavo cristatus): sensitivity to infrasound.	despite the excitement that followed the report of infrasound sensitivity in pigeons 40 years ago, there has been limited followup, with only eleven species of birds having auditory thresholds at frequencies below 250 hz. with such sparse data on low-frequency hearing, there is little understanding of why some birds hear very low frequencies while others do not. to begin to expand the phylogenetic and ecological sample of low-frequency hearing in birds, we determined the behavioral audiogram of ...	2020	33025058
captivity stress influences the dna damage of pavo cristatus under environmental conditions of faisalabad, pakistan.	the surroundings of wild and captive birds are divergent in existence. wild birds inhabiting their natural environment have unlimited resources availability. they face variety of captivity stresses when moved from wild habitat to caged enclosures. the effect of similar captivity stresses on the dna of birds living in cages for longer stretches of time is addressed in this study. the laboratory analysis to investigate dna damage in pavo cristatus was performed using single-cell gel electrophoresi ...	2020	31845253
evidence of exposure to usuv and wnv in zoo animals in france.	west nile virus (wnv) and usutu virus (usuv) are zoonotic arboviruses. these flaviviruses are mainly maintained in the environment through an enzootic cycle involving mosquitoes and birds. horses and humans are incidental, dead-end hosts, but can develop severe neurological disorders. nevertheless, there is little data regarding the involvement of other mammals in the epidemiology of these arboviruses. in this study, we performed a serosurvey to assess exposure to these viruses in captive birds ...	2020	33266071
differences in highly pathogenic h5n6 avian influenza viral pathogenicity and inflammatory response in chickens and ducks.	infection with h5n6 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus caused high mortality in chickens, while ducks often appear to be asymptomatic. but, some recent h5nx subtype viruses could cause high mortality in ducks. the variation between different species and the mechanisms by which some h5nx viruses cause death in ducks requires investigation to identify the key processes in influenza susceptibility and pathogenesis. here, we characterized two representative h5n6 viruses, a/pavo cristatus/jiangx ...	2021	33584608
