Summary: This study analyzed the concentrations of heavy metals in soil, water, feed, feathers, and blood, and investigated their association with DNA damage in P. cristatus. The results showed variations in heavy metal concentrations across different environmental samples, and some heavy metal concentrations were significantly correlated with DNA damage.

Summary: The paper introduces a novel peafowl optimization algorithm (POA) inspired by the courtship, foraging, and chasing behaviors of peafowls. POA outperforms other optimization algorithms and demonstrates superior performance in parameter estimation for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC).

Summary: The present study aimed to biomonitor heavy metals in three selected wildlife parks of Punjab, including lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), zinc (Zn), nickel (Ni), manganese (Mn) and cobalt (Co). The analysis of soil, water, and feed samples revealed high concentrations of heavy metals in feed samples, followed by soil and water samples at Jallo Wildlife Park and Wildlife Park Bahawalnagar. Feathers samples showed the highest levels of heavy metals concentrations at all sites. The bioaccumulation of heavy metals in the feathers of captive birds made them a good indicator for biomonitoring.

Summary: This article reports a case of Marek's disease in an Indian peafowl, which presented with hindlimb paraparesis and intraocular swelling of the right eye. Histological examination revealed lymphoid neoplasia at multiple sites and extensive hepatic lymphoid cell infiltration.

Summary: Ponazuril was well absorbed orally in healthy adult Indian peafowl, with plasma concentrations increasing with dose and slower elimination than expected. No obvious adverse effects were observed at either dosage.

Summary: This study assessed the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of IM alfaxalone in Indian peafowl. The results showed that a dose of 10 mg/kg resulted in smoother inductions and recoveries, while a dose of 20 mg/kg caused adverse effects and prolonged recoveries. Further studies should explore the use of alfaxalone in combination with other drugs and assess its effects in other avian species.

Summary: This study provides the first record of Prosthogonimus cuneatus infection in Indian peafowl. The trematode was identified in the bursa of the peafowl through morphological and molecular methods, and histopathological evaluation revealed the changes in the bursal tissue induced by the parasite. The study confirms Indian peafowl as a natural host of P. cuneatus and provides detailed pathological and molecular analysis of the infection.

Summary: This case demonstrates that a virulent strain of Campylobacter jejuni in combination with a parasitic invasion can cause chronic enteritis in peafowl, potentially leading to extreme exhaustion of the host organism and death.

Summary: This article describes a case of a peafowl chick's death due to swallowing nylon thread. It emphasizes the importance of ensuring that peafowls are unable to ingest any inanimate materials, especially when they are kept in houses.

Summary: This study is the first to describe Blastocystis infection in peafowls in China. Two genetically distinct subtypes, ST9 and ST7, were identified, with ST9 being the predominant subtype. The presence of zoonotic subtypes in peafowls suggests the potential risk of zoonotic transmission of Blastocystis to workers at peafowl farms.

Summary: This article describes the results of pathological anatomical changes in the proventriculus of a decorative peacock that died from tuberculosis, diagnosing it with mixed chronic destructive multifocal ulcerative panproventriculitis. The absence of epithelialization and relief in the ulcerative area was recognized as a sign of malignancy, which is important for diagnosis and understanding of avian tuberculosis.

Summary: Food insecurity is a major healthcare issue in the United States that affects college students' health, well-being, and academic performance. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of food insecurity, explore college students' perceptions about food access resources, and identify their expressed needs from the university in improving food security. A mixed-methods approach was used, including an online survey and qualitative focus groups. The study found that 34.1% of undergraduate college students were food insecure, and students with a meal plan were less likely to be food insecure. Qualitative data identified personal beliefs, life skills, and the university as key influencers of food insecurity. The results contribute to the understanding of food insecurity prevalence and provide insight from the college student perspective, helping to develop interventions that address students' needs and increase food security.

Summary: This study reports the co-parasitism of Goniodes pavonis and Goniodes rectangulatus on white Pavo cristatus, and provides the first molecular information for Goniodes pavonis. It also reports a new Brazilian locality for Goniodes pavonis and the first record of Goniodes rectangulatus in Brazil.

Summary: The study found an inverse relationship between group size and intestinal parasites of Indian peafowl across seasons, with larger group size in pre-monsoon season and higher parasite prevalence and load in monsoon and post-monsoon seasons. Parasite load was significantly greater at food provision sites, suggesting a potential influence on parasite transmission and group-size dynamics in Indian peafowl. In conclusion, Indian peafowl show behavioral plasticity in forming social groups to cope with ecological pressures in different seasons.
