Ticks Tick Borne Dis
January 2024
Article Synopsis
- Wolf populations in Central and Eastern Europe have rebounded over the last 20 years, returning to areas where they were previously exterminated.
- Recognizing and understanding tick-borne pathogens in wolves, such as Babesia and Anaplasma, is essential for their conservation and health due to their potential as zoonotic reservoirs.
- A study of 50 free-ranging wolves in Poland identified Babesia canis in 18% of the wolves tested, with one wolf showing evidence of Anaplasma phagocytophilum, highlighting the connection between wolves, ticks, and possible disease transmission.
