Outdoor farming contributes to biodiversity conservation and enhances animal welfare, but also raises biosafety concerns due livestock contact with potentially infected wildlife. Thus, there is a need assess the balance between vertebrate species richness on farms, visits by wildlife posing risk, pathogen circulation in open-air systems. We explored these links pilot study involving 15 hoofstock farms (6 cattle, 5 small ruminant, 4 pig farms), where we conducted interviews risk point inspections used two noninvasive tools: short-term camera trap (CT) deployment environmental nucleic acid detection (ENAD). CTs were deployed of birds mammals, as well determine percentage detecting defined species. collected feces sponges sample surfaces for DNA (eDNA), testing nine markers. Total ranged from 18 42 species, waterholes significantly contributing farm richness, since 48.2 % all wild vertebrates detected at waterbodies, 28.6 exclusively waterholes. Pathogen markers points correlated those samples. Notably, frequency uidA marker total number per farm. Overall an indicator diversity, varied being higher ruminant compared cattle or farms. At level, was negatively points. Additionally, probability more had lower richness. Although CT-based assessments ENAD-based are only indicators actual health, respectively, our findings suggest that farmland communities provide important ecosystem services may help limit multi-host pathogens.

Abstract Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), arising from decades of imprudent anthropogenic use antimicrobials in healthcare and agriculture, is considered one the greatest One Health crises facing globally. pollutants released human-associated sources are intensifying evolution environment. Due to various ecological factors, wildlife interact with these polluted ecosystems, acquiring resistant bacteria genes. Although recognised reservoirs disseminators AMR environment, current surveillance systems still primarily focus on clinical agricultural settings, neglecting this environmental dimension. Wildlife can serve as valuable sentinels reflecting ecosystem health, effectiveness mitigation strategies. This review explores knowledge gaps surrounding factors influencing acquisition dissemination wildlife, highlights limitations policy instruments that do not sufficiently address component AMR. We discuss underutilised opportunity using sentinel species a holistic, Health-centred system. By better integrating into systematic policy, leveraging advances high-throughput technologies, we track predict evolution, assess impacts, understand complex dynamics transmission across ecosystems.

ABSTRACT The emergence, spread and potential zoonotic importance of pathogenic‐resistant bacteria (e.g., Escherichia coli ) has fuelled the research on epidemiology vector movement dynamics. However, little is known about effects that apparently asymptomatic carriage may have host behaviour. Here, we analysed compared patterns habitat use (focused different risk exposure to Antibiotic Resistance) yellow‐legged gulls ( Larus michahellis carrying n = 10) not 29) Antibiotic‐resistant . Using data from GPS devices coupled with accelerometers, found evidence individuals resistant E. , although previously considered asymptomatic, had lower accumulated travelled distances moved over smaller areas. resistance affect some extent, as in this case, potentially reducing pathogen dispersal large

Abstract Human‐transformed residuals, especially those derived from human waste (dumps), farmland, and livestock are involved in the emergence of antibiotic‐resistant bacteria (ARB) environment. Wildlife can act as vectors ARB dispersal through different environments, but also sentinels to detect early spread determine sources. The development integrated monitoring programmes focused on wildlife would help anticipate risks humans livestock. We used yellow‐legged gull ( Larus michahellis ) a model species investigate monitor spatial patterns across an extensive farmland region located northeastern Spain (Lleida). By integrating GPS tracking data clinical testing for 26 individuals within network analysis framework, we modelled risk pathogen faeces during bacteria‐transmission latency period (16 days after sample collection). Additionally, created connectivity main sources area, focusing three habitats special infection: dumps, facilities, irrigation ponds. Seven were infected by Escherichia coli , with one co‐infected Listeria monocytogenes Salmonella spp. Potential distances ranged 1.13 km 23.13 breeding colony.
