Piroplasmosis in wildlife: Babesia and Theileria affecting free-ranging ungulates and carnivores in the Italian Alps

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Background Piroplasmosis are among the most relevant diseases of domestic animals. Babesia is emerging as cause of tick-borne zoonosis worldwide and free-living animals are reservoir hosts of several zoonotic Babesia species.

Knee height is often right: evaluating device height effects on camera trapping rate

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Camera trap deployment height can introduce systematic biases in detection trapping rates across species of different body sizes. Combining 172 paired sampling points in five experiments across Europe, North America and Africa, our results show that low cameras significantly increase detections of small‐ and medium‐sized species, whereas high cameras ...

Inferring Brown Bear Hair Snare Interactions by Automatically Detecting Bipedalism on Camera Trap Images Using Pose Estimation and a Multilayer Perceptron

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study proposes an automated method to infer brown bear hair snare interactions by detecting bipedal behavior in camera‐trap images using a pose estimation model and a multilayer perceptron (MLP). A YOLO‐based model, fine‐tuned from humans and dogs to a custom dataset, achieved high performance (≈93% keypoint precision and ≈96% classification ...

Presence of Nationally Banned Carbamates and Organophosphate Pesticides in Wild Carnivores, Southeastern Brazil

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As top predators, terrestrial carnivores face great risk of pesticide exposure and serve as sentinels of environmental contamination. Additionally, terrestrial carnivores are frequently threatened by intentional or secondary poisoning with highly toxic compounds, such as carbamates and organophosphates.

Innovative deworming procedure of wild carnivores

Studia Universitatis Moldaviae. Seria Științe ale Naturii
The evaluation of the population of foxes (Vulpes vulpes) according to the number of reproductive dens in the ,,Codrii” Natural Reserve on an area of about 5400 ha, revealed 28 active dens, which exceeds the normal density by 14 times. The study of the parasite fauna diversity showed a maximum level of infestation (100%) in foxes in the investigated ...

‘Reservoir dogs’: The emerging zoonotic risk associated with European dog imports to the UK

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The movement of dogs from continental Europe to the UK poses a growing public health threat due to the associated risk of disease incursions. Current legislation is insufficient to address the risks and pre‐import control measures are focused only on rabies virus and the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. Methods We conducted

Modelling the surprising recolonisation of an understudied aquatic mammal in a highly urbanised area: fortune favoured the smooth‐coated otter in Singapore

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Ever‐growing human activities present an active and continuing threat to many species throughout the world. Nevertheless, concerted conservation efforts in some regions have balanced these threats and allowed endangered species to recolonise former parts of their original ranges and reverse their decline.

Long‐Distance, Transfrontier Carnivore Dispersals in Southern Africa

Ecology and Evolution
Information on long‐range dispersal in tropical carnivores is limited compared to their temperate counterparts. Here we present data on long‐range, transboundary dispersals for three species of tropical carnivores: African wild dog (Lycaon pictus ...

Detection of rabies virus antibodies in Brazilian free-ranging wild carnivores

, 2010
Rabies virus is a pathogen of major concern in free-ranging wild carnivores in several regions of the world, but little is known about its circulation in Brazilian wild carnivores. Sera from 211 free-ranging wild carnivores, captured from 2000 to 2006 in
