Abstract

Sheep and goats alpine summer grazing and sanitary risk for wildlife- A three-years survey was carried out in sheep and goats during summer pasturing in the Orobie Alps (North Italy) within an Interreg III A project aimed to recovering tetraonids habitat. Selected pathogens of zoonotic and wildlife importance were tested. Antibodies against to Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus (TBEV) and Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) were not detected. Two among 266 goats and one among 182 sheep resulted seropositive for Q-fever. A prevalence of 4% and 10,9% for Pestivirus was detected respectively in goats and sheep, with only adult animals affected and no seroconvertion through three years. Antibodies against Bovine respiratory syncitial virus (BRSV) were detected in young and adult animals with seroprevalences of 19,6 in goats and 79,1% in sheep and no seroconvertion through three years. The role of the above pathogens are discussed in an alpine sustainable land use perspective.
