5 of 6 wolves test positive for Echinococcus granulosus
« on: September 30, 2011, 03:42:17 AM »
These necropsy reports were provided by the Idaho County Commissioners on seven Idaho County wolves tested by the Washington State University in Pullman, Washington during the last three months.

The “ Swanson” report is from a wolf killed by an employee up on the Lochsa, not an Elk City wolf. So 5 of the 7 Elk City wolves were tested. One was gut shot and destroyed by the shotgun blast and an autopsy was not possible. A second was dumped and buried before all folks understood we wanted to test ALL the wolves. Thus the 5 tests results from Elk City.

7 wolves submitted
5 tested positive for Echinococcus granulosus  (wolf worms)
1 tested negative for Echinococcus granulosus
1 could not be tested   (small intestine was missing)

 When I go to ID this Nov. I'll have a tyvek suit, gloves, and a good respirator. And a bag to seal the pelt in. (if I need it)

Sorry hear guys but I am a newbie when it comes to wolves.  What exactly do these parasites do?  Can they affect other wildlife etc...?

Just thinking of our state trying to manage wolves has me thinking I should go take a whiff of a dusty wolf turd and end my misery.
