Analysis of parasite communities and potentially pathogenic parasites in wild takin (Budorcas taxicolor)
This study highlights the potential impact of nematodes and protozoa on the health of the Sichuan takin population in Tangjiahe, while also examines the relationship between the dietary composition of takins and parasitic infections. This has important ecological and practical implications for wildlife conservation and health management.
