The moon cycle influences reproductive and productive traits in guinea pigs ( < em > Cavia porcellus < /em > ) from a tropical Andean area
In conclusion, the lunar cycle influenced several productive and reproductive traits in guinea pigs, such as litter size, mortality, number of pups weaned, and individual and litter weaning weights. This valuable information may have practical applications in management of guinea pig production systems.PMID:38093623 | DOI:10.1080/07420528.2023.2294044 (Source: Chronobiology International)

Rodent Pediatrics
This article reviews the development, hand-rearing, feeding, housing, and social behavior of common pet rodent species (rats, mice, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and degus). In addition, common gastrointestinal, respiratory, cardiovascular, dermatologic, musculoskeletal, neurologic, and ophthalmic disorders in pediatric pet rodents are reviewed. Preventative care and indications for spaying and neutering are discussed. (Source: Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice)

The current state of knowledge on dracunculiasis: a narrative review of a rare neglected disease
Infez Med. 2023 Dec 1;31(4):500-508. doi: 10.53854/liim-3104-9. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTDracunculiasis (Guinea Worm Disease) is a chronic disease that is primarily found in the arid and poor areas of our planet where water supply systems consist of open wells. This parasitic disease is transmitted to humans not only through the consumption of water contaminated with crustaceans harbouring larvae of Dracunculus medinensis, but also through the ingestion of paratenic (frogs) or transport hosts (fish). The natural progression of the disease is caused by adult worms invading connective tissues, leading to blistering and ulcer...
