Looks like there's a new virus subtype linked to encephalitis in Europe, but much still needs to be investigated, including zoonotic potential and its host range in other animal species other than chamois. More info here 👉 https://t.co/7EB7xTXvBs

This study (https://t.co/vhYO3hlAgS) estimates chamois densities and seasonal distribution in Greece. So, how many chances will we have to spot a chamois during our conference?👀

[RupicapraSymp @RupicapraSymp]

In whichever corner of the world you are in, we hope 2025 will be an amzing year for you all and for our favourite species, the chamois! And we hope to see many of you at the International Rupicapra Symposium! Happy New Year!!🥂

Pneumonia is a common disease in chamois, but the etiological agents are less know. This study https://t.co/wXBteamZjf investigates the role of Mycoplasma spp. in the infection.

Male-biased sexual size dimorphism is not uncommon in ungulates, but is the environment they live in influencing it? That's what this study tries to investigate comparing chamois populations across mountain ranges. Read the paper https://t.co/VliGPZkAIF to see what they found

Ungulates are increasing across Europe, but how is this affecting forest ecosystems? This review aims to identify impacts and drivers https://t.co/f5CrxqpFOG

Wildlife may represent a source of infectious diseases for both humans and other animals. This study tested several species for Shiga toxin-producing E. coli. How many were #AntimicrobialResistance? #OneHealth https://t.co/8RSCcQmY8y

Did you know @erga_biodiv is working on a reference genome for the Alpine chamois (https://t.co/Pe7A71DmzW)? How would you use it in your conservation and management efforts? They're also helding an online symposium on this topic on Sep 30 https://t.co/maYTehWoST

[RupicapraSymp @RupicapraSymp]

Sarcocystosis is a common parasitic diseases, but information on wildlife is sometimes lacking. This study shows a high prevalence despite absence of macroscopic lesions, highlighting the importance of correct hygienic measures in game meat uses https://t.co/E4w33c9ERW
