A risk assessment framework was developed to evaluate the zoonotic potential of avian influenza (AI), focusing on virus mutations linked phenotypic traits related mammalian adaptation identified in literature. Virus sequences were screened for presence these and their geographical, temporal subtype-specific trends. Spillover events mammals (including humans) human seroprevalence studies also reviewed. Thirty-four associated with five (increased receptor specificity, haemagglutinin stability,...
The European Observatory of Wildlife (EOW) as part the ENETWILD project, aims to improve capacity for monitoring wildlife populations, implementing international standards data collection, providing guidance on density estimation, and finally, promote collaborative, open networks develop monitoring, initially focusing terrestrial wild mammals. This report presents estimates species that are widely distributed (wild boar (Sus scrofa), roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), red (Cervus elaphus)) by...
Abstract Selecting appropriate diagnostic methods that take account of the type vaccine used is important when implementing a vaccination programme against highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). If effective, decreased viral load expected in samples for diagnosis, making molecular with high sensitivity best choice. Although serological can be reasonably sensitive, they may produce results are difficult to interpret. In addition routine monitoring, it recommended conduct isolation, genetic...
The data sets provide long-term information (2013–2022) of the presence-only eight wild ungulates and red fox derived from harvest in a grid 5 × km Spain (21,836 cells). collected has been processed reported yearly, as well two monitoring periods accordance with Habitats Directive European Union to facilitate reporting about State nature, sum whole period. Data are structured following Darwin Core biological standard. set was published Spanish node Global Biodiversity Information Facility...
In dry climates, livestock farming contributes to waterhole creation and maintenance, thereby contributing biodiversity conservation. However, these lentic water bodies also represent a critical environmental connection between microorganisms their vertebrate hosts since the can facilitate pathogen persistence transmission. Therefore, interventions for tuberculosis (TB) risk mitigation at wildlife-livestock interface often focus on segregating host species points. We hypothesized that...
The goal of this report is modelling the occurrence for carnivores at European scale and to compare output with observed hunting yield (HY) density models red fox (Vulpes vulpes) badger (Meles meles). Random Forest function was used species. Occurrences available from past 30 years (1990-2020), HY data (period 2012-2021) records submitted ENETWILD were considered modelling. Like previous based on ungulates, response variable maximum number hunted in that period divided by area km2...
Expanding wild boar populations associate to conflicts with human activities, being a threat livestock and public health. Particularly, the emergence of African Swine Fever (ASF) in Europe is major importance. To better understanding dynamics at interface between domestic pigs Europe, which essential prevent risk for ASF spread, this report describes (i) use extensive pig farm resources by wildlife (wild other mammals) pigs, (ii) factors involved. We studied two regions Central-Eastern...
The European Observatory of Wildlife (EOW) as part the ENETWILD project aims progressively developing integrated wildlife monitoring (population abundance and pathogens). present report shows how to link population (by camera trapping) disease surveillance at scale, by using environmental sampling over 15 study areas EOW from 10 Countries (4 in 4 countries will be incorporated next). We specifically focused on multi-host pathogens Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex (bacteria, MTC), Hepatitis...
