Zoonotic parasites associated with predation by dogs and cats

Jairo Alfonso Mendoza Roldan et al.

Summary: Cats with indoor/outdoor lifestyle often bring hunted gifts to their owners, including small mammals, reptiles, and birds. The access of dogs and cats to the outdoors may pose risks such as diseases and accidents, but the impact of these roaming animals predating wildlife is also concerning. Predation not only threatens wildlife but also serves as a transmission route for parasitic diseases, some of which are zoonotic. Dogs and cats, both feral and domesticated, have contributed to the collapse or extinction of more than 63 species of reptiles, mammals, and birds. Awareness about the zoonotic risk of parasitic infections transmitted through predation will promote responsible ownership and proper actions to control feral and free-roaming cat and dog populations worldwide.

Emergence and potential transmission route of avian influenza A (H5N1) virus in domestic cats in Poland, June 2023

Lukasz Rabalski et al.

Summary: A fatal disease outbreak in cats occurred in Poland in June 2023. Most cases tested were positive for highly pathogenic avian influenza A (H5N1) virus, with genetic analyses revealing initial adaptations to mammalian hosts. The cat viral sequences were highly similar, indicating a potential common infection source. Investigation of possible infection routes led to the detection of HPAI H5N1 virus in poultry meat samples from affected households.

Density and ecological drivers of free-ranging cat abundance and activity in Madeira Island, Macaronesia

Elena J. Soto et al.

Summary: Mammalian predators, especially free-ranging cats, pose a significant threat to biodiversity on oceanic islands. However, there is limited information on the ecology and population status of these cats. A study conducted on Madeira Island found that cats are highly abundant in protected areas, with a preference for rocky habitats. Cat activity is influenced by the proportion of rocky areas in the landscape and the distance to human resource subsidies.

Detection of antibodies against three zoonotic Bartonella spp. and cross-reactivity among species and Coxiella burnetii in dogs and cats from Central Thailand

Phirabhat Saengsawang et al.

Summary: Dogs and cats are identified as important reservoir hosts of bacterial zoonotic pathogens, particularly Proteobacteria, Bartonella spp., and Coxiella burnetii. This study aims to detect the seroprevalence of Bartonella spp. and C. burnetii in dog and cat serum samples in Thailand and evaluate cross-reactivity among these pathogens. The results indicate a significant seroprevalence of Bartonella spp. and C. burnetii in dogs and cats, with poor agreement in cross-reactivity observed.

The Implications of Policies on the Welfare of Free-Roaming Cats in New Zealand

Christine L. Sumner et al.

Summary: This paper reviews the cat management policies in New Zealand and their implications on the welfare of free-roaming cats. Currently, there is no national law for cat management in New Zealand, posing challenges for consistent and humane practices. The study finds that there are multiple policy mechanisms used in cat management, with both positive and negative implications for cat welfare. It emphasizes the need to understand the impact of policies on cats, people, and other animals, and suggests the establishment of national cat legislation.

Susceptibility of Pets to SARS-CoV-2 Infection: Lessons from a Seroepidemiologic Survey of Cats and Dogs in Portugal

Ricardo Barroso et al.

Summary: Translation: Cats and dogs are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection in natural conditions, as shown by a seroepidemiologic survey conducted in Portugal. Antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 were detected in 21.74% of cats and 4.73% of dogs, indicating the potential role of domestic animals in the global transmission of SARS-CoV-2. Human-to-animal and cat-to-cat transmission may also contribute to the spread of the virus among these animals.

Review and synthesis of the global literature on domestic cat impacts on wildlife

Scott R. Loss et al.

Summary: A vast global literature shows that free-roaming domestic cats have negative effects on wildlife, including predation, fear, disease and competition-related impacts. This study aims to synthesize the existing literature on cat impacts on wildlife and identify biases and gaps. The research focuses on oceanic islands, Australia, Europe, and North America, with an emphasis on predation, impacts of unowned cats, and impacts at population and species levels. Further research is needed in underrepresented regions such as Africa, Asia, and South America, exploring impacts other than predation and developing methods to mitigate cat impacts on wildlife.

SARS-CoV-2 infection in cats and dogs in infected mink farms

Anna E. van Aart et al.

Summary: This study provides evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in 12 feral cats and 2 dogs from 10 infected mink farms. The research also shows that mink-to-cat transmission could occur at a rate of approximately 12%, while the origin of infections in dogs remains inconclusive. Interspecies transmission of SARS-CoV-2, particularly mink-to-cat transmission, should be considered as a potential risk for spread of the virus.

GPS Tracking of Free-Roaming Cats (Felis catus) on SARS-CoV-2-Infected Mink Farms in Utah

Brian R. Amman et al.

Summary: Zoonotic transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from infected humans to animals, specifically minks and cats, has been observed globally. In Utah, outbreaks on mink farms led to high mortality rates among the minks. Investigation revealed that both free-roaming and feral cats living near the farms were actively and previously infected with SARS-CoV-2. These cats frequently visited the mink sheds, moved around the affected farms, and even ventured into surrounding residential areas, potentially contributing to local spread of the virus.

Provision of High Meat Content Food and Object Play Reduce Predation of Wild Animals by Domestic Cats Felis catus

Martina Cecchetti et al.

Summary: Non-invasive, positive contributions to cat nutrition and behavior can reduce their tendency to hunt, rather than impede their hunting. Measures such as providing high meat protein, grain-free food and engaging in daily object play have shown to decrease animals captured by cats. However, the introduction of puzzle feeders increased the number of animals captured. Birdsbessafe collar covers were effective in reducing bird predation, but cat bells had no discernible effect. Owners who are concerned about welfare implications of other interventions may find support in these non-invasive methods.

Summary: Bats are unfairly blamed for the COVID-19 pandemic, with human impact on the environment and the spread of domestic animals being the real causes. Predation by cats on bats can pose zoonotic risks, potentially leading to the spread of diseases to humans. Efforts should be made to address this threat through research and management strategies.

Investigation of SARS-CoV-2 infection in dogs and cats of humans diagnosed with COVID-19 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Guilherme Amaral Calvet et al.

Summary: In this study, it was found that dogs and cats living with COVID-19 patients in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, could be infected or seropositive for SARS-CoV-2, with some developing mild and reversible signs of the disease. Logistic regression analysis showed that neutering and sharing a bed with the ill owner were associated with pet infection. People with COVID-19 should avoid close contact with their pets during their illness to prevent potential transmission of SARS-CoV-2.

Summary: Ixodes simplex is a bat tick species commonly found on Schreibers' bent-winged bat, with rare cases of human infestation. The unusual occurrence on a human in this case may be due to a decrease in suitable hosts, with soft ticks being more commonly involved in human infestations. The potential future risks of I. simplex as a vector are discussed in light of this unique case.
