Have you seen our latest report on wildlife health? We identified major drivers for emerging zoonotic threats, the most pressing capability shifts & focus themes to strengthen Europe's wildlife monitoring systems.  ➡️https://efsa.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.2903/sp.efsa.2026.EN-10254

Keeping our wildlife healthy isn't a conservation matter only. It's crucial to livestock & humans health. We identified major drivers for emerging zoonotic threats, the most pressing capability shifts & focus themes to strengthen Europe's wildlife monitoring systems.  Link to report ➡️🧵

Europe needs a shared framework for wildlife data. The proposed Hunting Data Model links national systems, ensures quality, and enables real-time analysis, turning fragmented efforts into coordinated action. Learn more:  https://zenodo.org/records/16281457 #WildlifeManagement

Misreporting is rarely random. Trust, motivation, and feedback impact data quality. Transparent systems that return feedback build stronger collaboration and better data. Learn more:  https://zenodo.org/records/16281457 #WildlifeManagement

Hunting bag data. Hunters are an important source of wildlife data. But participation depends on trust and knowing that their data is used transparently. Same data, though, different views 👉🧵

eDNA use in wildlife pathogen surveillance for #OneHealth? We looked at: 1️⃣Selecting sampling sites with camera trap data 2️⃣Effectivity of combining metabarcoding + metagenomics 3️⃣Optimising sensitivity with harmonized selection of sampling sites Read what we found: zenodo.org/records/1759...

Is eDNA changing #WildlifeMonitoring? Benefits of eDNA methodologies depend on overcoming technical & integration challenges. Further standardization & integration into existing systematic surveillance frameworks is needed to optimize their effectiveness Read our report: zenodo.org/records/1759...

Wildlife data faces many challenges: fragmented reports, manual submissions, and loss of detail. Shared standards, digital tools, and transparent systems can turn challenges into solutions, building a connected data network for Europe.👉🧵 #WildlifeMonitoring

Wildlife data collection: Different countries, different approaches to hunting data reporting. We looked at hunting bag data collection across 18 European countries and found 18 different approaches.  👉🧵

Have you seen our reports on finding & dating wild boar carcasses? Together, the reports from late 2025 provide an important step towards more effective, harmonised wildlife disease surveillance and management across Europe, supporting the #OneHealth approach. Open access links in the 🧵

#Wildlife data starts in the field, when hunters record what they harvest.  These records shape biodiversity monitoring and #WildlifeManagement across Europe. What it captures? And why it matters?👉🧵

To predict #AfricaSwineFever spread, we need unified knowledge of 🐗 behavior. Last year, our researchers identified key behavior criteria and compared conditions, providing a Europe-wide overview of 🐗 movement and contact patterns relevant to ASF.

#AfricanSwineFever bites! Carcass removal works to contain the spread, thus @enetwild.com has released a review of methods to find and date wild boar carcasses zenodo.org/records/1759... as well as recommendations for carcass detection and dating in different environments zenodo.org/records/1759...

We're just getting started 💪

How can we monitor and forecast wildlife diseases without disturbing wildlife? By using non-invasive methods. 🧬 One promising tool is environmental DNA (eDNA) #WildlifeMonitoring

We involve citizens in #WildlifeMonitoring & they have contributed 29000 verified records from 38 countries 📸🐇 In 2019, we launched the iMammalia app. Since then European citizens have been uploading photos or sightings of mammals that we verify and submit to the global database GBIF.

Bird flu can spread among vultures 🇪🇸🇫🇷 An analysis of the 2022 HPAI outbreak demonstrated that vultures may have facilitated a rapid, silent & cross-border spread of the virus on a regional scale. 👉https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/31/8/24-1456_article By @irec-csic-uclm.bsky.social  #OneHealth

Critics say the Georgian government’s proposed university reforms increase political influence rather than strengthen the higher education & research system. 👉https://dfwatch.net/ilia-state-university-students-lead-protest-against-reform-plan-64853/ Reforms could also impact #biodiversity research🧵

Ilia State University students lead protest against reform plan

TBILISI, October 20 – Dozens of students rallied outside Georgia’s Ministry of Education in Tbilisi on Monday, protesting a government plan to overhaul the country’s higher education system.

Ascarids and One Health: Emerging Challenges in Sustainable Control

Ascarids and One Health: Emerging Challenges in Sustainable Control

Ascarid infections, caused by Ascaris lumbricoides (humans), Ascaris suum (domestic pigs and wild boars), Parascaris spp. (equids), Ascaridia galli (poultry) and Toxocara spp. (dogs, foxes, and cats), remain a significant global challenge, substantially impacting human, animal, and environmental health and imposing considerable economic burdens. This review synthesizes recent advances and persistent obstacles in ascarid control, including drug resistance, low-intensity and undetected infections, climate-driven transmission shifts, and diagnostic limitations. Using a One Health lens, we underscore the need for integrated approaches across human, animal, and environmental sectors. We emphasize rethinking helminth control strategies through cross-sector collaboration, community participation, equity, social and behavior change communication (SBCC), environmental risk reduction, and innovative diagnostic and monitoring systems across species and environments.

🐦Bird flu While many countries in 🇪🇺 see a higher number of HPAI outbreaks this season, Germany is by far the worse affected. According to the Friedrich Loeffler Institute for Animal Diseases, the virus has been detected on 122 farms & in 1125 wild birds www.reuters.com/business/hea... #OneHealth
