The demonstrations, which started over deteriorating living conditions, have left 22 people dead, according to the UN.

Free ranging lemurs show significantly lower #Toxoplasma gondii seroprevalence
compared to other primate superfamilies. Seroprevalence in lemurs was lower than expected for their level of terrestriality,
supporting the role of evolutionary history in shaping susceptibility.
We establish hematological and biochemical reference intervals for free-ranging Fosa (Cryptoprocta ferox) across Madagascar and compare them with captive individuals, highlighting the need for population-specific benchmarks to accurately assess health and guide conservation efforts.
