DeepLabCut: markerless pose estimation of user-defined body parts with deep learning
Alexander Mathis,Pranav Mamidanna,Kevin M. Cury,Taiga Abe,Venkatesh N. Murthy,Mackenzie W. Mathis,Mackenzie W. Mathis,Matthias Bethge +7 more
TL;DR: Using a deep learning approach to track user-defined body parts during various behaviors across multiple species, the authors show that their toolbox, called DeepLabCut, can achieve human accuracy with only a few hundred frames of training data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using DeepLabCut for 3D markerless pose estimation across species and behaviors
TL;DR: This protocol describes how to use an open-source toolbox, DeepLabCut, to train a deep neural network to precisely track user-defined features with limited training data, which allows noninvasive behavioral tracking of movement.

Markerless tracking of user-defined features with deep learning
Alexander Mathis,Pranav Mamidanna,Taiga Abe,Kevin M. Cury,Venkatesh N. Murthy,Mackenzie W. Mathis,Matthias Bethge +6 more
TL;DR: This work presents a highly efficient method for markerless tracking based on transfer learning with deep neural networks that achieves excellent results with minimal training data and demonstrates the versatility of this framework by tracking various body parts in a broad collection of experimental settings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zoonotic Potential of the Microsporidia
TL;DR: Vertebrate hosts are now identified for all four major microsporidial species infecting humans (E. bieneusi and the three Encephalitozoon spp.), implying a zoonotic nature of these parasites.
Journal ArticleDOI
High prevalence of Echinococcus multilocularis in urban red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) and voles (Arvicola terrestris) in the city of Zürich, Switzerland.
TL;DR: Seasonal differences in the prevalence of E. multilocularis were only found in urban subadult male foxes which were significantly less frequently infected in summer than in winter, whereas prevalence rates of other helminths were similar in both areas.
