Article Synopsis
- Coyotes quickly spread across North America in the 20th century and reached Newfoundland in 1987, potentially introducing new predators and parasites to the island.
- Researchers collected muscle samples and feces from 153 coyotes, discovering the presence of Trichinella spp. in 3.9% of them and Echinococcus canadensis in 5.7% of fecal samples, marking the first reports of these parasites on the island.
- These findings highlight new public health risks for locals, including hunters and dog owners, due to the zoonotic nature of these parasites.
