New gene therapy offers hope for sterilizing female cats without surgery

Cathy M. Rosenthal

Dear Cathy: I am the birth-control advocate. We have had birth control for the human species for over 50 years. Why don’t we have effective non-surgical sterilization for our beloved dogs and cats that suffer so in most parts of the world? — Francine, Killingworth, Connecticut

Dear Francine: Researchers have been trying to develop a pill or injection to address pet reproduction for more than 20 years now. Dogs’ and cats’ reproductive cycles are uniquely different from humans’, so coming up with a solution has been challenging. Some previous efforts have led to severe side effects.

Finding pet care could become easier with these solutions

Pet owners face a potentially big problem as the veterinary field deals with a growing shortage of veterinarians.

Researchers at Mars Vet Health claim a boom in pet adoptions, especially during the COVID pandemic, and the retirement of approximately 2,000 veterinarians each year have combined to create that shortage.

They now estimate that nearly 41,000 additional veterinarians will be needed by 2030 to meet the growing demand.

Currently, some pet owners said they were already seeing delays in getting appointments with some practices booked weeks and months in advance.

With all this in mind, the Solutionaries team investigated possible solutions.

Social Organization In Insects | Zoology for IAS, IFoS and other competitive exams

In insects social life has evolved only in two orders, namely, Isoptera (termites) and Hymenoptera (bees, wasps and ants) which make a nest and live in colonies of thousands of individuals that practice division of labor and social interaction.

SOCIAL LIFE IN TERMITES

Termites were the first animals which started living in colonies and developed a well organized social system about 300 million years ago, much earlier than honey bees, ants and human beings.
