Reappraising the use of forearm rings for bat species
(Elsevier, 2023-09-10)
Long-term mark-recapture studies are essential for bat conservation. Over the last decades, millions of bats across
Europe and America have been marked with forearm rings for this purpose. Although it ...
Evidence of Prolonged Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus Endemicity by Retrospective Serosurvey, Eastern Spain
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2022-04-07)
We conducted a retrospective serosurvey for antibodies against Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus in wild ungulates along the eastern Mediterranean Coast of Spain. The virus has been endemic in this ...
Lack of Detection of Toxoplasma gondii in Pipistrellus spp. Bats from Densely Cat-Populated Areas of NE Spain
(MDPI, 2022-12-01)
Toxoplasma gondii infection in healthy animals is often asymptomatic. However, some species with little history of contact with the parasite, such as marsupials and New World primates, present high ...
Evaluation of passive integrated transponder tags for marking urodeles
(Elsevier, 2022-11-15)
The use of passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags in urodeles has become popular for individual marking in population and disease ecology studies. However, mark loss or mark-induced mortality can ...
Eurasian griffon vultures carry widespread antimicrobial resistant Salmonella and Campylobacter of public health concern
(Elsevier, 2022-07-06)
The global emergence of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) strains of Salmonella and Campylobacter is a serious public health concern. Both bacteria are leading causes of human gastrointestinal foodborne ...
Dynamics of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus in two wild ungulate hosts during a disease-induced population collapse
(Elsevier, 2023-08-23)
Identifying the role that host species play in pathogen transmission and maintenance is crucial for disease
control, but it is a difficult task, in particular for vector-borne and multi-host pathogens, ...
Experimental infection with high‐ and low‐virulence strains of border disease virus (BDV) in Pyrenean chamois (Rupicapra p. pyrenaica ) sheds light on the epidemiological diversity of the disease
(Wiley, 2019-04-08)
Since 2001, Pyrenean chamois (Rupicapra pyrenaica pyrenaica ) populations have been affected by border disease virus (BDV) causing mortalities of more than 80% in some areas. Field studies carried out ...
Peste des petits ruminants at the wildlife-livestock interface in the Northern Albertine Rift and Nile Basin, East Africa
(MDPI, 2020-03-07)
In the recent past, peste des petits ruminants (PPR) emerged in East Africa causing outbreaks in small livestock across different countries, with evidences of spillover to wildlife. In order to understand ...
Hotspot of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus Seropositivity in Wildlife, Northeastern Spain
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2021-08-09)
We conducted a serosurvey for Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus antibodies in various wildlife species in Catalonia, northeastern Spain. We detected high seroprevalence in southern Catalonia, close ...
Assessing the role of livestock and sympatric wild ruminants in spreading antimicrobial resistant Campylobacter and Salmonella in alpine ecosystems
(BMC, 2021-02-15)
Background: Livestock play an important role as reservoir of enteric pathogens and antimicrobial resistance (AMR), a health and economic concern worldwide. However, little is known regarding the ...
