Abstract excerpt

Over the past decades, the grey wolf (Canis lupus) has expanded its range across Italy, reclaiming historical habitats, including anthropized landscapes. This resurgence raises concerns regarding its potential role in maintaining and spreading pathogens. In this study, we focused on Dirofilaria immitis, the causative agent of canine heartworm disease, investigating its prevalence in wolves and exploring the...
