Abstract Background: Thelazia callipaeda is a nematode of the sucking nematode genus of the sucking family, with Amiota okadai as the intermediate host and vector in China. China has the largest number of cases of thelaziosis in humans in the world. It is generally believed that domestic animals (dogs and cats) are the most important reservoir host of Thelazia callipaeda and directly threaten humans. At present, there is not much research and attention on the role of wildlife in the transmission cycle of thelaziosis in wildlife home range.Methods: During 2016-2019, we selected four wildlife national nature reserve across the country as monitoring points for Amiota okadai and wildlife. And we chose to use fly-trap method for monitoring Amiota okadai density. Morphological analysis of the parasites collected from the conjunctival sac of the wildlife was taken as the first step, and a specific PCR was used for exact confirmation.Results: In 2019, the density of Amiota okadai in Foping National Nature Reserve, in China, increased sharply and infected Amiota okadai were newly found in wildlife home range. And it was newly found that wild giant pandas, wild boars, leopard cats, black bears were infected with Thelazia callipaeda. A total of 4 nematodes were collected. The morphologic characteristics of the nematode led to its identification as Thelazia callipaeda, which was molecularly confirmed by a specific PCR amplification.Conclusions: This is the first time in China that Amiota okadai has been reported to be infected with Thelazia callipaeda in wildlife home range, while a variety of wildlife, including wild giant pandas, have been infected. This suggests that there has been a transmission cycle of thelaziosis among wildlife in wildlife home range. This has undoubtedly increased the risk of infection of Thelazia callipaeda in villagers around wildlife home range.

The impacts of roads on wildlife and their habitats have been widely recognized. To assess the effects of roads on habitat use of the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca (David, 1869)), we investigated the giant panda habitats and the roadside habitats in Wanglang Nature Reserve, People’s Republic of China. We found that giant pandas did not use the road-affected habitats, and compared with giant panda habitats, road-affected habitats were characterized by lower bamboo density and grazing disturbances. Therefore, our study demonstrated that roads negatively affected the habitat use of giant pandas, and such affected habitats could not meet the needs of these animals. These results suggest that to minimize the negative effects of roads on the conservation of species, a full evaluation of the effects of roads on wildlife and their habitats should be conducted before road construction, and effective protection measures should be taken to control for these negative effects.

AbstractThe giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is one of the most endangered animals in the world, and it is recognized worldwide as a symbol for conservation. A previous study showed that wild and captive pandas were exposed to toxins in their diet of bamboo, but the ultimate origin of these toxins is unknown. Here we show that atmospheric deposition is the origin of heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the diets of captive and wild Qinling giant pandas. Atmospheric deposition averaged 115 and 49 g⋅m−2⋅yr−1 at China’s Shaanxi Wild Animal Research Center (SWARC) and Foping National Nature Reserve (FNNR), respectively. Atmospheric deposition of heavy metals (As, Cd, Cr, Pb, Hg, Co, Cu, Zn, Mn and Ni) and POPs at SWARC was higher than at FNNR. Soil concentrations of the aforementioned heavy metals other than As and Zn also were significantly higher at SWARC than at FNNR. We conclude that efforts to conserve the Qinling subspecies of panda may be compromised by air pollution attendant to China’s economic development. Improvement of air quality and reductions of toxic emissions are urgently required to protect China’s iconic species.
