Patterns of Exposure of Iberian Wolves (Canis lupus) to Canine Viruses in Human-Dominated Landscapes.

摘要: Wildlife inhabiting human-dominated landscapes is at risk of pathogen spill-over from domestic species. With the aim gaining knowledge in dynamics viral infections Iberian wolves (Canis lupus) living anthropized northern Spain, we analysed between 2010 and 2013 samples 54 by serology polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for exposure to four pathogenic canine viruses: distemper virus (CDV), parvovirus-2 (CPV), adenovirus 1 2 (CAV-1 CAV-2) herpesvirus. Overall, 76% studied presented evidence CPV (96% HI, 66% PCR) 75% CAV (75% neutralization (VN), PCR, which 70% CAV-1 6% CAV-2). This represents first detection CAV-2 infection a wild carnivore. CPV/CAV-1 co-infection occurred 51% wolves. The probability wolf was positively significantly correlated with farm density buffer zone around place where found, indicating that rural dogs might be origin infecting appear enzootic population, supported absence seasonal inter-annual variations proportion positive detected. However, while may depend on periodical introductions dogs, maintained within population. All were negative CDV (by VN CHV PCR). acquired immunity against this population predispose it an elevated rate mortality event via dogs.
