Texas A&M Research Redefines Mammalian Tree Of Life

The research uses the genomes of 241 species and can be used to support animal and human health outcomes.

Research led by a team of scientists from the Texas A&M School of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences puts to bed the heated scientific debate regarding the history of mammal diversification as it relates to the extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs. Their work provides a definitive answer to the evolutionary timeline of mammals throughout the last 100 million years.

Texas A&M Veterinarians Diagnose, Repair Rare Condition In DVM Student’s Yorkshire Terrier

Danielle and Axel Villa’s relationship began with love at first sight.

She noticed he was alone in a corner and picked him up. The two have been inseparable ever since, and will continue to be for a long time thanks to Axel's veterinary team at the Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital.

Texas A&M University Research Aims To Improve Lyme Disease Diagnostics

Lyme disease, the fastest growing vector-borne illness in the U.S., according to the Bay Area Lyme Foundation, is challenging to diagnose and can only be treated in the early stages of infection. Once the infection spreads to the nervous and muscular systems, it is both harder to detect and less susceptible to antibiotics.

Research by two Texas A&M University scientists, however, is focused on improving Lyme disease treatment outcomes by developing a test that’s both more accurate and more effi

Veterinary Emergency Team Returns From Hurricane Ian Deployment In Florida

The Texas A&M Veterinary Emergency Team (VET) has returned to Bryan-College Station from their latest mission that helped provide closure to survivors of Hurricane Ian, the deadliest storm to strike the state since 1935.

During their deployment to Florida, which began on Oct. 4, the VET—assisted by Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Disaster Assessment and Recovery (DAR) agents—focused on providing veterinary medical support for all FEMA Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) Teams responding in Florida.
