As reported by ACR (Association for Rural Culture) were found in Lombardia 5 foxes affected by distemper, a fatal disease that is transmitted both by direct and indirect contact in canids for 80% of cases. Unfortunately, a new alarm is spreading in the areas between Como and Varese where on February 22 the Experimental Zooprophylactic Institute detected the discovery of these five animals affected by the virus.
Vaccinating the dog is not the only solution, a thorough control and monitoring of wildlife, including foxes, badgers and other species it is essential for the protection of all wildlife and pets (source ACR).
