Goitred gazelle (Gazella subgutturosa) rank among the most endangered mammals on the Arabian
Peninsula and the Asian steppes. Past conservation efforts have been plagued by confusion about the phylogenetic
relationship among various—phenotypically discernable— populations, and even the question of species boundaries
was far from being certain. This lack of knowledge had a direct impact on conservation measures, especially ex situ
breeding programmes, hampering the assignment of captive stocks to potential conservation units. Here, we provide

The presence of Brucella melitensis is demonstrated for the first time in Neumann’s gazelle (Gazellaerlangeri). Seven Neumann’s gazelles exhibiting signs of brucellosis were treated for one month withoxytetracycline (25 mg/kg) administered intramuscularly in combination with streptomycin (20 mg/kg)for two weeks and then solely with oxytetracycline for a further two weeks. Prior to treatment, bothserological and bacteriological tests were positive for Brucella melitensis. Specific identification of thiszoonotic bacterium was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

The gastrointestinal parasites and prevalence of infestation in the Arabian red fox Vulpesvulpes arabica Thomas, were investigated at the King Khalid Wildlife Research Centre(KKWRC) in Thumamah, Riyadh Province, Saudi Arabia. Faecal samples were collected from58 wild caught foxes while under anaesthesia and examined for gastrointestinal parasites

Nasal, buccal and rectal swabs were collected from 24 adults and 25 newborn clinically healthy reem(Gazella subgutturosa marica) and idmi (Gazella gazella) gazelles from the breeding pens of the KingKhalid Wildlife Research Center (KKWRC), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Swabs were cultured onbacteriological media and organisms isolated were identified using the appropriate analytical profileindex (API) identification system. 253 bacterial and 5 fungal isolates were reported from idmi and reemunder investigation. Of the bacteria isolated, 136 (53.8%) were isolated from idmi gazelles whereas 117

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are cytotoxic agents that lead to significant oxidative damage. Bisphenol A (BPA) is a contaminantwith increasing exposure to it and exerts both toxic and estrogenic effects on mammalian cells. Due to limited informationconcerning the effect of BPA on liver, this study investigates whether BPA causes hepatotoxicity by induction of oxidative stress in liver. Rats were divided into five groups: The first four groups, BPA (0.1, 1, 10, 50 mg/kg/day) were administrated orally to rats forfour weeks. The fifth group was taken water with vehicle.
