Zoonotic Bartonella species in Eurasian wolves and other free‐ranging wild mammals from Italy
Abstract Bartonellae are emerging vector‐borne pathogens infecting humans, domestic mammals and wildlife. Ninety‐seven red foxes ( Vulpes vulpes ), 8 European badgers ( Meles meles ), 6 Eurasian wolves ( Canis lupus ), 6 European hedgehogs ( Erinaceus europaeus ), 3 beech martens ( Martes foina ) an...
