Abstract:
Wild canids, as well as other wild animal species, are largely exposed to bites by ticks and other hematophagous vectors where the features favoring their presence and spread are found in wooded and semi-wooded areas. Much of the information about arthropod-borne infections concerns domestic and companion animals, whereas data about these infections in wild canids are not exhaustive. The present study is a narrative review of the literature concerning vector-borne infections in wild canids, highlighting their role in the epidemiology of arthropod-borne bacteria and protozoa.
摘要:
野生犬科动物,以及其他野生动物物种,在树木繁茂和半树木繁茂的地区发现了有利于壁虱和其他吸血载体的叮咬。关于节肢动物传播感染的大部分信息都与家畜和伴侣动物有关,而关于野生犬科动物感染的数据并不详尽。本研究是对有关野生犬科动物媒介传播感染的文献的叙述性回顾,强调它们在节肢动物传播的细菌和原生动物流行病学中的作用。
