“…However, based on the health risks associated with the dog presence inside a National Park demonstrated by our study, we suggest the following management decisions: ( i ) minimization of the density of working dogs, in parallel with mass vaccination programs and integrated control measures (Cleaveland et al 2006 ); ( ii ) prohibition of access to any other domestic dogs, even kept on a leash; ( iii ) use of the allowed domestic dogs as sentinel for wildlife infections, as well as for emerging human and livestock diseases. As suggested by Cleaveland et al ( 2006 ), this precaution would minimize the negative effects of the presence of dogs, making them become part of the surveillance strategies to increase the efficiency of pathogen detection within wildlife sanctuary (Bowser and Anderson 2018 ).…”

Beware of dogs! Domestic animals as a threat for wildlife conservation in Alpine protected areas

Diseases are natural regulating factors of wildlife populations, but some pathogens may become an important threat in wildlife conservation, especially for endangered species. The presence of domestic animals may foster the spread of diseases in natural population, although their role in the dynamic of infections in wildlife is not clear. In this study, we investigated the presence and prevalence of a range of multi-host pathogens in wild species (red fox, Eurasian badger, beech marten, pine marten, stoat for a total of 89 carcasses analysed) and domestic animals (n = 52 shepherd and n = 25 companion dogs) living in a protected area of the Alps (the Gran Paradiso National Park) and discussed the role of domestic dogs as possible source of infection for wild species. Our results showed that domestic dogs are potential shedder of three important pathogens: Canine distemper virus, Toxoplasma sp. and Neospora caninum. In particular, shepherd dogs seem to represent a threat for wildlife as they are exposed to multiple pathogens because of free-roaming, scavenging lifestyles and close proximity to livestock. However, also companion dogs more subject to veterinary care may foster the spread of pathogens. Our results highlight the importance of regulating the access of domestic dogs to protected areas that aim at preserving biodiversity and enhancing the conservation of endangered species.
