Behavioural habituation undermines deterrents in rhesus macaque crop raiding in Eastern Ghats, India

A three-year study in India's Eastern Ghats reveals that while novelty-dependent deterrents lose effectiveness against crop-raiding rhesus macaques due to behavioural habituation, low-cost solar fencing provides consistent, economically viable protection across diverse habitats.

Cestode and Trematode Infections in Sheep: Epidemiology, Economic Impact, and Control Strategies in Gondar, Central Gondar zone, Northwestern Ethiopia

A cross-sectional study conducted in Gondar, Ethiopia, reveals that cestode and trematode infections affect 50% of sheep, causing significant economic losses primarily driven by *Fasciola* spp., with adult age, poor body condition, and extensive management identified as key risk factors, while highlighting a critical gap between farmer awareness and the low adoption of regular deworming practices.
