Innovative problem-solving in a small, wild canid

Animal Cognition, 2022
Innovation - the ability to solve problems in a novel way - is not only associated with cognitive abilities and relative brain size, but also by noncognitive traits, such as personality and motivation. We used a novel foraging task with three access options to determine how neophobia, exploration, and persistence influence innovation in 12 habituated ...

Visceral leishmaniasis in captive wild canids in Brazil

Veterinary Parasitology, 2008
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is endemic in Belo Horizonte (State of Minas Gerais, Brazil). Leishmania sp. can naturally infect several species of mammals, and the domestic dog is the most important reservoir of the disease in South America. This report describes five cases of visceral leishmaniasis in Brazilian canids. Among 15 animals kept in captivity

Vocalizations in wild canids and possible effects of domestication

Behavioural Processes, 1976
On the basis of spectrographic evidence it has been possible to identify twelve basic vocal sound types of canid species. Vocalizations may be mixed either by successive emission of two or more sound types, by superimposition of these sounds, or by a combination of these two forms.

Management of wild canids in Australia

2014
Wild canids are widespread across most of mainland Australia. They can have major impacts on livestock production and biodiversity values and often necessitate active management. The impacts of free-ranging dogs and foxes should be managed concurrently, as there is often substantial overlap in their impacts and because most available control methods do

Echinococcus Species Infections among Wild Canids in Pennsylvania, USA

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2023
Echinococcus species are zoonotic tapeworms that can impact the health of wildlife, domestic animals, livestock, and humans. Two species of interest in North America are Echinococcus multilocularis and Echinococcus canadensis (Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato). The primary wildlife definitive hosts for E. multilocularis and E. canadensis are similar,

Detection and genotyping of Toxoplasma gondii in wild canids in Serbia

Parasitology International, 2019
To gain insight into the population structure of the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii in wildlife in Serbia, multiplex nested PCR- RFLP was performed on T. gondii DNA positive samples of heart tissue of three wild canid species, including red foxes (Vulpes vulpes), golden jackals (Canis aureus) and grey wolves (Canis lupus).

Canine Heartworm in the Domestic and Wild Canids of Southeastern Nebraska

The Journal of Parasitology, 1985
The prevalence of canine heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis) was examined in the domestic dog, coyote (Canis latrans), and red fox (Vulpes fulva) populations of southeastern Nebraska. Microfilariae were detected in 21.4% (22 of 103) of the domestic dogs. The average age of infection for dogs was 5.8 yr.

Low Seroprevalence of Antibodies to Neospora caninum in Wild Canids in Israel

Veterinary Parasitology, 2006
The role of domestic dogs in the epidemiology of Neospora caninum as well as the relationship between N. caninum infection of farm dogs and cattle were demonstrated, however, evidence is scarce regarding the role of wild canids in domestic animal neosporosis.
