Wolves Give Parasites to Humans & Wildlife

these kind of parasites use different stages and hosts to come round in their life cycle. Blaming the wolves for the human cases is stupid !!!
You could blame the herbivores for swallowing the parasites, you could blame the dumb#ss who picks up feces....etc

you can't blame a wild animal for it's "normal" behaviour, period.
It has been doing this for thousands of years, it's his natural way of life.

I think your post has something to do with the wolf killer list.
In my country wolves have been exterminated several 100 years ago and what was once pride has turned into shame.....
Hunting has become wildlife management now here in Belgium and killing any time of game here is used to control the species....
The sport part has totally been banned and we have to own a degree in ecology and environemental studies before we can go hunt....
it's the law here to send in a detailed paln of what numbers of game you have on your land and what you will shoot or have to shoot. You are registered and this info is free for everybody to look into. Which I think is normal.
Killing apex predators is sometimes neccesary but taking too much of them out of the foodchain results in higher numbers of their prey. Rodents and in second case deer. these rodents being a pest of their own are the stapel food of other creaturs like smaller predators, coyotes, crows, magpie, parasites.....
And once you tilted the scale the wrong way, you can blame other people for it....
But restoring this balance won't happen by killing more deer....

So if wildlife officials would tell me that there are too many wolves and they need to be managed, I will gladly put my name down to do what is needed.
I thinking there are enough wolves to kill them for a sport without actual evidence, then I wouldn't be on the list.

This is just my personal way of thinking, in no way is this done to upset anybody, especially not the public opinion.....

Thanks for the post Frank.

Well it looks like the parasite is found all over the world with the world not coming to an end. I guess we can’t always listen to someone posting articles on a HUNTING BLOG.

“E. granulosus is worldwide widespread and theMediterranean region is considered an hyperendemiearea. In the last 15 years biotechnologies have light up inside E. granulosus lO different strains and genetic variants, named G 1 (Sheep strain), G2 (Tasmanian sheep strain), G3 (Buffalo strain), G4 (Horse strain), G5 (Cattle strain), G6 (CarneI strain), G7/G9 (Pig strain), G8 (Cervid Strain), the lion strain and the recent1y discovered G1O or Fennoscandinavian Cervid Strain.

I suggest going to "Google Scholar" and do all the searching. More information on there than a person can read in their lifetime. Google Scholar is WAY WAY Better source compared to Hunting Blogs, Hunting magazines, extremist groups, etc....
