carnivore-caused livestock mortality in trans-himalaya.	the loss of livestock to wild predators is an important livelihood concern among trans-himalayan pastoralists. because of the remoteness and inaccessibility of the region, few studies have been carried out to quantify livestock depredation by wild predators. in the present study, we assessed the intensity of livestock depredation by snow leopard uncia uncia, tibetan wolf canis lupus chanku, and eurasian lynx lynx l. isabellina in three villages, namely gya, rumtse, and sasoma, within the propose ...	2007	17318699

the complete mitochondrial genome of dhole cuon alpinus: phylogenetic analysis and dating evolutionary divergence within canidae.	the dhole (cuon alpinus) is the only existent species in the genus cuon (carnivora: canidae). in the present study, the complete mitochondrial genome of the dhole was sequenced. the total length is 16672 base pairs which is the shortest in canidae. sequence analysis revealed that most mitochondrial genomic functional regions were highly consistent among canid animals except the csb domain of the control region. the difference in length among the canidae mitochondrial genome sequences is mainly d ...	2011	20859694
the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the tibetan wolf (canis lupus laniger).	in this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of the tibetan wolf (canis lupus laniger) was sequenced using blood samples obtained from a wild female tibetan wolf captured from lhasa in tibet, china. qinghai-tibet plateau, with an average elevation above 3500 m, is the highest plateau in the world. sequence analysis showed that its structure is in accordance with other canidae species, but gtg is used as the start codon in nd4l gene which is different from many canide animals.	2016	24438245
seroprevalence of toxoplasma gondii infection in zoo and domestic animals in jiangxi province, china.	toxoplasma gondii is a zoonotic protozoan parasite that infects a wide range of warm-blooded animals throughout the world. in the present study, antibodies to t. gondii were determined using a commercial indirect hemagglutination (iha) test in wild animals in a zoo. three of 11 giraffes (giraffa camelopardalis) (27%), 1 of 5 wolves (canis lupus laniger) (20%), 1 of 6 hippopotamuses (hippopotamus amphibious) (17%), and 2 of 9 tundra swans (cygnus columbianus) (22%) were found to be positive. no a ...	2017	28224883
