AB  - Porast broja ljudske populacije u svetu i nastale promene prirodnog okruženja
povećavaju mogućnost za interakciju između ljudi i životinja, što može dovesti do
pojave i širenja različitih zaraznih bolesti. Bolesti divljih životinja mogu da utiču utiču
osim na same divlje životinje i na javno zdravlje, ekonomiju ali i na očuvanje
biodiverziteta. Bolesti koje se mogu preneti sa divljih i domaćih životinja na čoveka,
koje se označavaju kao zoonoze, mogu biti izazvane određenim parazitima. Parazitske
nematode iz roda Trichinella su uzročnici infekcije kod životinja ali i zoonotske bolesti
trihineloze, koja predstavlja ozbiljan rizik po ljudsko zdravlje. Životinje zaražene
trihinelom, osim u težim slučajevima, ne pokazuju spoljne znake infekcije. Brojne vrste
divljih životinja mogu nositi larve trihinela. Divlje životinje se mogu zaraziti
konzumiranjem drugih inficiranih divljih životinja ili otpadaka koji sadrže zaraženo
meso. Rod Trichinella obuhvata 10 vrsta: T. spiralis, T. nativa, T. britovi, T. murrelli, T.
nelsoni, T. patagoniensis i T. chanchalensis (vrste koje stvaraju kapsulu), T.
pseudospiralis, T. papuae i T. zimbabvensis (neinkapsulirane vrste) kao i tri genotipa
(Trichinella T6, T8 i T9). Ove nematode su rasprostranjene širom sveta i mogu
inficirati širok spektar vrsta životinja, a prenose se u domaćem i silvatičnom ciklusu.
Do 2009. godine T. spiralis se smatrala jedinom vrstom iz roda Trichinella koji je
prisutan kod domaćih i divljih životinja u Srbiji. Tada je primenom molekularne
analize potvrđeno prisustvo T. britovi kod lisica i vukova u Srbiji, pored već
potvrđenog prisustva T. spiralis. Ove analize su bile početak opsežnih ispitivanja
rasprostranjenosti trihinele kod divljih životinja u našoj zemlji. Ustanovljeno je da
postoji infekcija trihinelom kod nekoliko vrsta divljih životinja (vuk, lisica, šakal, divlja
svinja, divlja mačka, jazavac, kuna, mrki tvor, vidra), što omogućava održavanje ovog parazita u silvatičnom krugu ali i eventualno prenošenje Trichinella spp. do svinja koje
se gaje u dvorištima ili puštaju u prirodu. Podaci pokazuju da je prisutna infekcija
trihinelom kod 6% od 469 ispitanih divljih mesojeda prikupljenih u periodu od 1994.
do 2013. godine u Srbiji. Novija istraživanja su pokazala da je polovina (49,5%)
ispitanih vukova u Srbiji zaražena sa T. britovi. Utvrđeno je da je 16,5% zlatnih šakala
bilo zaraženo trihinelom, od kojih je više od dve trećine imalo larve T. spiralis i trećina
T. britovi. Ovakva istraživanja su pokazala da postoji rizik da nekoliko vrsta divljih
životinja može preneti trihinelu na populaciju svinja u slobodnom uzgoju i u dvorištu
i na taj način doprineti održavanju i širenju infekcije.Od četiri vrste trihinele (T.
spiralis, T. britovi, T. pseudospiralis i T. nativa) identifikovanih u Evropi do sada, u Srbiji
kod divljih životinja dokazano je prisustvo dve vrste (T. spiralis i T. britovi). Radi
sprečavanja kruženja trihinele u lovištima neophodno je kao i za sprečavanje drugih
zaraznih bolesti pridržavati se svih biosigurnosnih mera (odgovorni lov, primena
sanitarnih mera tokom svih faza lova, evisceracija ulovljenih životinja na za to
predviđenim mestima i bezbedno odlaganje, nakon uzimanja trofeja od mesojeda
obavezno neškodljivo uklanjanje trupova, postepeno smanjenje štetočina, bolesne
životinje i sve leševe divljih životinja nađenih u lovištu potrebno je odmah prijaviti
nadležnom veterinaru) u lovištu za dobro gazdovanje lovištem. Što se tiče prekidanja
lanca kruženja trihinele izuzetno je važno da lovci ne hrane divlje životinje mesom ili
proizvodima od mesa (kobasicama, nekuvanim mesom, ostacima hrane koji sadrže
meso - pomije) koji nisu pregledani na prisustvo larvi trihinele ili čak sadrže ove larve.
Osim toga važno je napomenuti da u skladu sa propisima uzorak mišića svake
odstreljene divlje svinje mora da bude ispitan na prisustvo larvi trihinela metodom
veštačke digestije. Znacaj ove mere je ne samo zbog otkrivanja pozitivnih divljih svinja
i sprečavanja infekcije ljudi već i zbog neskodljivog uklanjanja pozitivnih i prekidanja
lanca širenja u lovistu.

AB  - Forty-six golden jackals (Canis aureus) were collected between November 2020 and February 2021 in five counties of Serbia. Lung samples were screened for the presence of Pneumocystis DNA by pan-Pneumocystis PCR on the mtLSU rRNA gene obtaining PCR products of 370 bp in length. Pneumocystis DNA was detected in the lungs from 6/46 (13.04%) golden jackals. Four were females and two were males; four were classified as adults and two as subadults. Positive samples were confirmed in 4/5 investigated counties. No gross pathologic lung lesions were observed in this study. The sequences of Pneumocystis spp. from golden jackals were identical to one another and showed the highest similarity with Pneumocystis spp. sequences of dogs (98% nucleotide identity). The genetic variation was comparable to Pneumocystis spp. of raccoon dogs (95-97% nucleotide identity), red foxes (91-95% nucleotide identity), ferrets (86% nucleotide identity), and another Pneumocystis type in dogs (P. canis Ck2, 81% nucleotide identity) was higher. Golden jackals may be carriers and may play a nonnegligible role in the spread of Pneumocystis spp. Although this finding cannot be directly related to any clinical manifestation or pathologic lesions, a possible role in the exacerbation of different pulmonary disorders should be considered.

AB  - Background Alveolar hydatid disease caused by the tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis is a parasitic disease present
in the northern hemisphere. Echinococcus multilocularis is a parasite of canid and felid carnivores as defnitive hosts, and
small mammals, particularly rodents as intermediate hosts. Other animal species and humans can be aberrant intermediate
hosts for this parasite. It is known that besides acting as defnitive hosts, domestic dogs can rarely become infected with the
larval form of E. multilocularis and develop alveolar echinococcosis; however, a role of wild canids as aberrant intermediate
hosts has not been documented until now. To the best of our knowledge the present paper provides the frst description of
alveolar hydatid disease in a golden jackal (Canis aureus).
Case Presentation Necropsy of the yearling female animal found a large, round, tumor-like mass, 20 cm in diameter, with a
rough, multilobulated surface in the abdominal cavity, connected to the liver and omentum. On the cut surface this tumorlike lesion was multicystic, with a number of locular cavities flled with a clear yellowish to orange watery fuid and a large
area of necrosis in the central part of the mass. Histopathology revealed multiple cystic spaces separated by fbrous sheaths
and infammatory cells—lymphocytes, plasma cells, neutrophil and eosinophil granulocytes. The cysts contained either
pale, hyaline, eosinophilic laminar and occasionally amorphous, acellular, PAS-positive structures, or metacestodes with
invaginated protoscolices. In several cysts round calcifed bodies (calcareous corpuscles) were noted. Microscopic examination showed everted and inverted protoscolices which were attached to fragments of the brood capsule or free in hydatid
fuid. By comparing consensus nucleotide sequence of 457 bp obtained by PCR reaction with sequences deposited in NCBI
GenBank it is determined that it was 100% identical with E. multilocularis sequences under accession numbers MH259778.1,
MH259776.1, AB668376.1, EU704124.1 and AB018440.2.
Conclusions The present paper provides a proof that the golden jackal, besides being a defnitive host, can also serve as the
aberrant intermediate host for E. multilocularis.

AB  - Human activities such as deforestation, urbanization, and environmental pollution lead to a reduction in the spatial boundary between wild animals, domestic animals and humans. These activities increase the risk for the emergence of pathogens from the sylvatic cycle in the population of domestic animals and humans. Foxes are recognized as potential reservoirs for a number of bacterial pathogens of medical and public health concern. The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence and spatial distribution of bacterial tick-borne pathogens from the Anaplasmataceae family, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.), Rickettsia spp., Coxiella burnetii, Francisella tularensis, Bartonella spp., in the red fox population from Serbia and to discuss the obtained results from the epidemiological point of view. Legally hunted red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) from 14 localities in Serbia were included in the study and spleen samples from 129 animals were tested with conventional PCR assays for the presence of bacterial tick-borne pathogens. DNA of Candidatus Neoehrlichia sp. (FU98), Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, Borrelia lusitaniae, and Borrelia garinii was detected in 6 (4.7%), 1 (0.8%), 2 (1.6%) and 1 (0.8%) animals, respectively. Co-infection by Candidatus Neoehrlichia sp. (FU98) and B. garinii was detected in one animal. All samples were negative for other tested bacterial tick-borne pathogens. The results of the present study indicate the potential role of foxes in natural cycles of Candidatus Neoehrlichia sp. (FU98) and causative agents of Lyme borreliosis in the investigated areas. Further research is required to elucidate the role of foxes in the epidemiology of these and other tick-borne zoonotic pathogens in the Republic of Serbia.

(FU98), Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, Borrelia lusitaniae, and Borrelia garinii was detected in 6 (4.7%), 1 (0.8%), 2 (1.6%) and 1 (0.8%) animals, respectively. Co-infection by Candidatus Neoehrlichia sp. (FU98) and B. garinii was detected in one animal. All samples were negative for other tested bacterial tick-borne pathogens. The results of the present study indicate the potential role of foxes in natural cycles of Candidatus Neoehrlichia sp. (FU98) and causative agents of Lyme borreliosis in the investigated areas. Further research is required to elucidate the role of foxes in the epidemiology of these and other tick-borne zoonotic pathogens in the Republic of Serbia.",

AB  - Craniomandibular osteopathy is a rare disorder in dogs, characterised by subperiosteal and extraperiosteal new bone proliferations on the skull, on the mandibles in particular and occasionally on long bones. Data about craniomandibular osteopathy in the golden jackal (Canis aureus) are lacking. This paper describes craniomandibular osteopathy in a seven-month-old animal. The mandibular region and the distal section of the hindlimb were examined radiologically and by CT. Both imaging modalities showed ossifying periosteal deposits localised on the left side of the mandible and irregular periosteal ossifying deposits covering the surface of the crural bones. Histopathology revealed new bone formation in the endosteum, periosteum and trabecular bone of the mandible and in the distal section of the hindlimb, but no inflammatory cells were found. Craniomandibular osteopathy in free-living canids has not yet been reported. However, the macroscopic imaging and histopathological features in this pup were consistent with the disease.

AB  - Objective Subchondral bone density distribution can be used to study joint biomechanics non-invasively. Differences in joint loading between related species can aid in the understanding of joint loading and the development of certain types of orthopaedic pathology. This study was conducted to evaluate density distribution in the subchondral bone of the talus of different Canidae species, as a parameter reflecting the long-term joint loading in the tarsocrural joint. Materials and Methods The tarsal joints of cadaveric dogs of different breeds were included, that is, German Shepherd (n = 5), Bouvier des Flandres (n = 3) and Labrador Retriever (n = 6). Additionally, golden jackals (n = 5) (Canis aureus) and wolves (n = 5) (Canis lupus) were included. Consecutive computed tomography slices were made and the subchondral bone density distribution was evaluated using computer tomographic osteoabsorptiometry. Different breeds and species were visually compared. Results Differences were found in the subchondral bone density distribution of the talus between breeds and between species (Canis familiaris, Canis lupus and Canis aureus). Discussion and Conclusion Based on the density distribution, there are differences in loading conditions of the tarsocrural joint in different species of Canidae. The joint loading distribution is very similar between dogs of the same breed and within the same species. Although between-breed differences can be explained by conformational differences, the between-species differences remain subject to further research.

AB  - Thelazia callipaeda, originally known as an Oriental eyeworm, is a small nematode parasitizing the conjunctival sacs of domestic and wild animals and humans. Previous studies conducted in Serbia have reported the eyeworm infections in dogs, cats, and foxes, as well as in a human patient. As the data regarding thelaziosis from wildlife is still scarce, the aim of this study was to investigate the presence of T. callipaeda in gray wolf (Canis lupus) from Serbia. All collected nematodes were morphologically identified as T. callipaeda males (n = 64) or females (n = 225). Molecular characterization, conducted by PCR amplification followed by sequence analysis of partial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene (cox1), revealed only haplotype 1 of T. callipaeda. The overall prevalence of thelaziosis was 38.1% (8/21). In all positive animals, both eyes were affected, with a total parasitic load ranging from four to 132 worms per animal. Our results indicate the important epidemiological role of wolves as wildlife reservoirs of T. callipaeda, expanding geographic range of infection, as well as intra- and interspecies contact rates, although the role of other wild carnivore species (i.e., foxes and jackals) should be investigated in future studies.

AB  - Human trichinellosis and Trichinella infection in pigs are both still endemic in the Balkans, including Serbia. Because of the flow between the sylvatic and the domestic cycle of Trichinella spp., monitoring wildlife has been recommended for the risk assessment of Trichinella spp. infection in swine. We have previously shown the presence of Trichinella infection in wild carnivores including the wolf and the golden jackal, and here we report on Trichinella infection in several other mesocarnivore species. From a total of 469 animals collected between 1994 and 2013, Trichinella larvae were detected in 29 (6.2%, 95% CI = 4.0-8.4) animals, including 14 red foxes (4.7%), 7 wild cats (35%), 5 beech martens (4.8%), 2 pine martens (16.7%), and 1 European badger (6.25%). No Trichinella larvae were detected in the examined specimens of European polecats, steppe polecats and European otters. Species identification of the Trichinella larvae performed for 18 positive samples revealed T. spiralis in 77.8% and T. britovi in 22.2% of the isolates. Both species were detected in red foxes and wild cats. The predominance of T. spiralis in wildlife in Serbia indicates the (past or present) spillover of this pathogen from domestic to wild animals.

AB  - The aim of this study is to determine the activity concentration of 40K and 137Cs in muscle tissue and liver of the golden jackal (Canis aureus). In 2016 and 2017, five adult male golden jackals were haunted in the Bojčin forest, Surčin municipality, which is a suburban area of the Belgrade city, the Republic of Serbia. The dominant foodstuffs in the jackal diet are small mammals (mostly moles) and carcasses of domestic animals, but also fruits in the summer season. Hence, the golden jackal can be an indicator of the 137Cs migration through the food chain. The mean activity concentrations of 137Cs and 40K in the soil sampled from the Bojčin forest were 14 Bq/kg and 695 Bq/kg, respectively. The 137Cs specific activity in most of the muscle tissue and liver samples of the golden jackal is below the minimum detectable activity (<0.1 Bq/kg). Very low 137Cs activity concentration is detected in one muscle tissue (0.4 Bq/kg) and liver sample (0.2 Bq/kg). The mean activity concentration of 40K in the golden jackal muscle tissue and liver is 100 Bq/kg and 90 Bq/kg, respectively.

AB  - The golden jackal (Canis aureus) is a medium-sized canid species native to Europe. This species is characterized by rapid large-scale expansion. A similar trend is also observed in Serbia, where the species is now distributed in more than a half of the territory. Although jackals prefer habitats in human-dominated landscapes, these animals have not been studied well enough from an eco-epidemiological point of view, and little is known about their potential for carrying zoonotic pathogens. In a study conducted during a three-year period (01/2010-02/2013), a total of 216 hunted or road-killed golden jackals were collected from 10 localities in Serbia. Ticks, when present, were removed, and after necropsy, spleen samples were collected from each animal. All tick and spleen samples were tested for the DNA of bacterial and protozoan tick-borne pathogens (Borrelia species, Bartonella species, Rickettsia species, Anaplasma species, Coxiella burnetii, Francisella species and Babesia species) by multiplex real-time PCR, conventional PCR and sequencing analyses. The DNA of Babesia canis was detected in nine out of 216 (4.2%) spleen samples, and two samples (0.9%) tested positive for Anaplasma phagocytophilum. In 118 ticks collected from jackals, the DNA of two Babesia species (Ba. canis and Ba. microti), three Borrelia species (Bo. garinii, Bo. valaisiana, and Bo. lusitaniae) and A. marginale was detected. From the aspect of public health surveillance, the potential role of the golden jackal in the maintenance of vector-borne zoonotic pathogens in Serbia must be considered, and further eco-epidemiological studies should be performed to determine the precise role of this animal species in zoonotic disease transmission cycles.

AB  - Over the last decades the golden jackal (Canis aureus) has significantly expanded its range throughout Southeast and Central Europe, and the Balkan Peninsula is considered to be a core area of the species distribution in this part of the range. Due to its increasing number, ability of long distance movement through a wide range of landscapes and opportunistic feeding habits, the golden jackal may represent an important reservoir and transmitter of a variety of zoonotic agents, including parasites. The Balkans, Serbia included, remain an endemic area for various zoonotic parasites including Trichinella spp. Trichinella has recently been recorded in jackals in Serbia, which prompted us to carry out a large-scale survey of its prevalence, distribution and species identification in this host. In cooperation with local hunters, carcasses of a total of 738 legally hunted golden jackals were collected at 24 localities over an 11-year period (2003-2013). Analysis of tongue base tissue revealed Trichinella larvae in 122, indicating a prevalence of infection of 16.5%. No difference in the prevalence of infection was found between genders 116.2% in males and 16.9% in females (chi(2) = 0.05, p = 0.821)], or among the study years (G = 7.22, p = 0.705). Trichinella larvae were found in 13 out of the 24 examined localities. Molecular identification was performed for 90 isolates, and 64(71.1%) larvae were identified as Trichinella spiralis and 25(27.9%) as Trichinella britovi. Mixed infection (T. spiralis and T. britovi) was recorded in a single case. Although T. spiralis was more prevalent, T. britovi had a wider distribution, and was the only recorded species in jackal populations from the mountainous region of eastern Serbia. On the other hand, T. spiralis was dominant in jackals in the lowlands of central and northern Serbia, where domestic pigs are mostly reared. These results show that the golden jackal is involved in both the domestic and sylvatic cycle, and that it has emerged as a major host species in the sylvatic cycle of the Trichinella genus. Therefore, continued monitoring of Trichinella infection in golden jackals in Serbia and the whole of the Balkans is recommended in order to control transmission of this parasite to humans and domestic animals.

AB  - During the past decade, golden jackal populations have substantially increased, yet little is known of their potential for transmitting parasites within animal and human hosts. In the present study, between 2005 and 2010, 447 jackals from six localities in Serbia were examined for intestinal parasites. Two species of trematodes (Alaria alata, Pseudamphistomum truncatum), three nematodes (Toxocara canis, Ancylostoma caninum, Gongylonema sp.), and seven cestodes (Taenia pisiformis, Taenia hydatigena, Multiceps multiceps, Multiceps serialis, Mesocestoides lineatus, Mesocestoides litteratus, Dipylidium caninum) were identified. Pseudamphistomum truncatum and M. serialis species were recorded for the first time. The overall prevalence of parasitic infection was 10.3%. No significant differences were found in the prevalence of infection between males and females (P > 0.817), between localities (P > 0.502), or with regard to annual cycles (P > 0.502). In the infected jackal population, 65% harboured multiple infections and one individual was a host to five different types of parasite species, the highest number of parasites we recorded in a single host. These findings indicate that although the prevalence of gastrointestinal helminths in the jackal population in Serbia is significantly lower than expected from earlier studies, further monitoring is required given the jackals rapid population increase.

AB  - Wildlife is the most important reservoir of Trichinella spp. worldwide. Although the Balkans are a recognized European endemic region for Trichinella infections, data on wildlife are scarce. To monitor the circulation of these zoonotic parasites in the Central Balkan region, the wolf (Canis lupus) was selected because of its abundance (>2,000 individuals) and because it is at the top of the food chain. A total of 116 carcasses of wolves were collected in Serbia and in the neighboring areas of Macedonia and Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) between 2006 and 2013. Trichinella spp. larvae were found in 54 (46.5%) wolves. The great majority (90.5%) originated from Serbia, where 52 of the 105 examined animals were Trichinella positive (49.5%; 95% confidence interval =39.9-59.1). One positive animal each was found in B&H and Macedonia. All larvae were identified as Trichinella britovi. The high prevalence of Trichinella infection in wolves suggests that this carnivore can be a good indicator species for the risk assessment of the sylvatic Trichinella cycle in the Central Balkans.

AB  - Dirofilaria repens causes an emerging zoonotic disease in Europe, particularly in its southern part, the Mediterranean region. Many reports on human dirofilariosis have been published recently, but little is known about the wildlife hosts and reservoirs of this parasite in nature. This paper presents the first records of adult D. repens specimens from free-ranging carnivores in Central Balkan countries (Serbia and Macedonia). During the period 2009-2013, a total of 145 regularly shot canids were examined for the presence of D. repens adults. In order to investigate their role as hosts and potential wild reservoirs of this zoonosis, 71 wolves (Canis lupus), 48 foxes (Vulpes vulpes) and 26 jackals (Canis aureus) were examined. Under the skin of two wolves (one from Serbia and one from Macedonia) and of a red fox from Serbia D. repens adults were found. In all three cases only one parasite was present. Further research on wild canids is needed, particularly on species widening their range (such as jackals) and those living near human settlements (foxes and jackals), which facilitates the transmission of the parasites to dogs and humans.

AB  - In Europe, Serbia ranks among countries with a high prevalence of Trichinella infection in pigs, which continues to be a serious human health problem. While in some Balkan countries, more than one Trichinella species/genotype has been described in both the sylvatic and domestic cycles, these data are lacking for Serbia. To date, only a few Serbian isolates of Trichinella have been genetically specified, and all were classified as T. spiralis. Although transmission of Trichinella from domestic pigs to wildlife could be assumed, neither the infection status nor the species of Trichinella circulating among wildlife in Serbia has been investigated. This study shows the presence of two Trichinella species, T. spiralis and T. britovi, in wild animals originating from five districts in Serbia, where Trichinella infections in domestic pigs and humans have been recorded. Trichinella spiralis was detected in jackals (n = 3), red foxes (n = 2) and a wild cat (n = 1). We also established that wolves (n = 4) and red foxes (n = 2) serve as sylvatic reservoirs for T. britovi. This is the first report on the presence of T. britovi in Serbia.
