The aim of the present study was to obtain novel information on diversity and prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites in these individuals. During August 2016 and from May to July 2017, 14 fecal samples were collected from the western Cantabrian bear subpopulation, in the Somiedo Natural Park, in the Spanish province of Asturias. The prevalence of parasites detected was 71% and two genera were identified: Dicrocoelium sp. and Trichuris sp. Since the impact that pathogens such as endoparasites can have on the health of bears, together with other stressors, is still poorly understood, research efforts that include disease surveillance are critical to the successful protection of this emblematic species. Our preliminary findings require further investigations, with a wider sampling effort, and bring awareness for the need of carrying further studies on this area as a part of a proactive species management plan.ElsevierRepositório da Universidade de LisboaCosta, HelenaHartasanchez, RobertoSantos, Ana RitaCamarao, AntónioCruz, LígiaNascimento, MarianaGomes, LídiaMadeira de Carvalho, Luís2022-06-27T21:52:33Z2022-022022-02-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.5/24687engCosta H, Hartasanchez R, Santos AR, Camarao A, Cruz L, Nascimento M, Gomes L, Madeira de Carvalho LM. 2022.
