Recolonizing gray wolves increase parasite infection risk in their prey

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 2160-2170, February 2018., 2018
The recolonization of Central Europe by the gray wolf (Canis lupus) allows for the study of parasite transmission dynamics of the protozoan Sarcocystis, which uses wolves as definitive host and their prey as intermediate hosts, respectively. Our study indicates that wolves have returned as the apex predator of red deer (Cervus elaphus), resurrecting ...

The widespread keeping of wild pets in the Neotropics: An overlooked risk for human, livestock and wildlife health

People and Nature, Volume 6, Issue 3, Page 1023-1035, June 2024.
Abstract Zoonoses constitute a major risk to human health. Comprehensive assessments on the potential emergence of novel disease outbreaks are essential to ensure the effectiveness of sanitary controls and to establish mitigating actions. Through a continental‐scale survey of rural human settlements conducted over 13 years in 15 Neotropical countries ...
