    Genetic epidemiology of blood type, disease and trait variants, and genome-wide genetic diversity in over 11,000 domestic cats - 2 year(s) ago

    Author summary Domestic cats are one of the world’s most popular companion animals, of which pedigreed cats represent small unique subpopulations. Genetic research on pedigreed cats has facilitated discoveries of heritable conditions resulting in the availability of DNA testing for studying and managing inherited disorders and traits in specific cat breeds. We have explored an extensive study…

    Case study shows cat bites may lead to allergy, should be included in medical history - 2 year(s) ago

    A girl who was bitten by a cat and then developed a cat allergy may be the first reported case of allergic sensitization through cat bite, according to a letter published in Pediatric Allery and Immunology. Because the bite disrupted the skin barrier, this case indicates that a pre-existing barrier defect might not be a prerequisite for sensitization, Gualtiero Leo, MD, of the pediatric allergy

    Zoonotic Epidemic of Sporotrichosis: Cat to Human Transmission - 2 year(s) ago

    PLoS Pathog. 2017 Jan; 13(1): e1006077. Donald C. Sheppard, EditorIntroductionMost of the 51 species embedded in the genus Sporothrix are nonpathogenic environmental fungi that are closely related to decaying wood, plants, and soil. However, members of the Sporothrix schenckii complex are highly successful mammal pathogens, including S. brasiliensis, S. schenckii sensu stricto (s. str.), S….
