Transmission of highly pathogenic avian influenza in the nomadic free-grazing duck production system in Viet Nam. Scientific Reports, 10(1), https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-65413-2

The presence of free-grazing ducks (FGD) has consistently been shown to be associated with highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) H5N1 outbreaks in South-East Asia. However, the lack of knowledge about the transmission pathways limits the ef...

In the wild, rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) are social but territorial. Recent surveys suggest that over half of pet rabbits are housed singly. We aimed to compare welfare in single versus paired rabbits. We predicted singletons would show more abno... Read More about Do rabbits need each other?
