Project description
The aim of the study is to begin recording the zoonotic potential of raccoon dog, nutria and raccoon populations in Lower Saxony, taking into account the distribution of these and other susceptible animal species in the region. For this purpose, a small number of animals are sampled and autopsied from the hunting grounds. This study is funded by the hunting levy of the MELV.
