Bacterial Diversity in Certain Captive Snake Species in Bulgaria: A One Health Challenge—Pilot Study

2025-12-08

Abstract excerpt

Snakes are becoming increasingly popular as companion animals in Bulgaria, yet their potential as reservoirs for zoonotic pathogens remains underexplored. This study investigates bacterial carriage in domesticated snakes and evaluates the public health risks associated with their handling. Materials and methods: Bacteriological analysis was performed on 29 snake samples from various species, including pythons, boa...
