A survey of intestinal helminths of red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in northern Belgium
Between 1994 and 1999, 219 red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) were collected in northern Belgium and examined for intestinal helminths. The effects of host-related (age, sex, body mass/size ratio) and temporal factors on the prevalence and on the number of parasite species per individual host were investigated. The following parasites were found: cestodes Echinococcus multilocularis (1.8%), Dipylidium c...
متن کاملChemical immobilization of red foxes (Vulpes vulpes).
Red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) were immobilized with one of the following drug combinations: ketamine/xylazine (n = 22), ketamine/promazine (n = 35), ketamine/midazolam (n = 13), or tiletamine/zolazepam (n = 22). Foxes given ketamine/xylazine had the shortest induction and longest recovery times relative to other drug combinations, whereas foxes given ketamine/midazolam had the longest induction tim...
متن کاملHelminths of red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) and raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) in Lithuania.
Red foxes and raccoon dogs are hosts for a wide range of parasites including important zoonotic helminths. The raccoon dog has recently invaded into Europe from the east. The contribution of this exotic species to the epidemiology of parasitic diseases, particularly parasitic zoonoses is unknown. The helminth fauna and the abundance of helminth infections were determined in 310 carcasses of hun...
متن کاملPredation by Red Foxes (Vulpes vulpes) at an Outdoor Piggery
Outdoor pig operations are an alternative to intensive systems of raising pigs; however for the majority of outdoor pork producers, issues of biosecurity and predation control require significant management and (or) capital investment. Identifying and quantifying predation risk in outdoor pork operations has rarely been done, but such data would be informative for these producers as part of the...
متن کاملReproduction of the red fox Vulpes vulpes in Central Italy
The reproduction of the red fox Vulpes vulpes has been widely studied (Hayssen et al. 1993). Most features are highly variable, and reproductive output appears dependent on food availability at high latitudes (Englund 1970), whereas at lower latitudes it seems limited by social constraints (Macdonald 1980, Lindström 1989). No data on the reproduction of the red fox are available for the Mediter...
