Résumé
In Europe, the African swine fever (ASF) pandemic mostly affects the environmental domain of health, which is a strongly human-impacted ecosystem. However, the current control strategies focus solely on the wild boar and tend to disregard other epidemiologically relevant elements of the ecosystem. This study investigated the potential impact of the golden jackal on the surveillance effort and disease transmission. For this reason, the authors analysed the content of 277 stomachs of this canid species within its westernmost inhabitant population, in order to determine the amount of suid remains, disposed. The findings confirmed that in a densely populated wild boar habitat, the main diet component of jackals was wild boar all the year round. The jackals disposed of 0.3-0.6 kg/km This study cannot determine whether canid scavengers positively or negatively influence the control efforts; however, the impact of the jackal should not be disregarded. The results warn the necessity of a multidisciplinary approach to complex epidemiological situations within different ecosystems.

BACKGROUND
In Europe, the African swine fever (ASF) pandemic mostly affects the environmental domain of health, which is a strongly human-impacted ecosystem. However, the current control strategies focus solely on the wild boar and tend to disregard other epidemiologically relevant elements of the ecosystem.
OBJECTIVES
This study investigated the potential impact of the golden jackal on the surveillance effort and disease transmission.
METHODS
For this reason, the authors analysed the content of 277 stomachs of this canid species within its westernmost inhabitant population, in order to determine the amount of suid remains, disposed.
RESULTS
The findings confirmed that in a densely populated wild boar habitat, the main diet component of jackals was wild boar all the year round. The jackals disposed of 0.3-0.6 kg/km
CONCLUSIONS
This study cannot determine whether canid scavengers positively or negatively influence the control efforts; however, the impact of the jackal should not be disregarded. The results warn the necessity of a multidisciplinary approach to complex epidemiological situations within different ecosystems.
