Article Synopsis
- The gray wolf population in France has rebounded over the last 30 years, mainly due to wolves migrating from Italy through the Alps.
- Limited information exists regarding their parasites, which can impact public health, prompting a study of fecal and intestinal samples from wolves to evaluate the presence of various helminths.
- Findings suggest that the parasite occurrences in French wolves are similar to those found in other European populations, with certain parasitic species linked to the overlap between wolf habitats and sheep farming areas.
