In Romania, where both Trichinella spp. and rabies remain public health concerns, updated data on wildlife reservoirs are essential. This study aims to provide an integrated assessment of Trichinella prevalence and rabies virus-neutralising antibody (RVNA) profiles in 134 wild canids (96 golden jackals and 38 red foxes, Vulpes vulpes) from northwestern Romania (August 2025\u2013January 2026). Trichinella larvae were detected using the artificial digestion method, and infection intensity was expressed as larvae per gram. Rabies serology was performed using a commercial ELISA kit, with 0.5 IU\/mL considered the protective threshold. Trichinella prevalence was significantly higher in foxes (78.9%) in comparison with jackals (60.4%), with similar larval burdens in both species. More than half of the individuals in both species exhibited RVNA titers below the protective threshold, indicating heterogeneous immunity levels in the population. No significant age- or sex-related differences in seroconversion were observed. These findings confirm intense sylvatic circulation of Trichinella spp. and highlight potential immunity gaps in wildlife rabies control. The results support the need for integrated, multi-pathogen surveillance and explicit inclusion of the golden jackal in disease monitoring and management strategies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani16081135","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,8]],"date-time":"2026-04-08T15:26:39Z","timestamp":1775661999000},"page":"1135","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Integrated Surveillance of Trichinella spp. and Rabies Virus-Neutralising Antibodies in Golden Jackals (Canis aureus) and Red Foxes (Vulpes vulpes) from Western Romania"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Maria Roberta","family":"Tripon","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Engineering and Applied Technologies, University of Life Sciences \u201cKing Mihai I\u201d from Timi\u0219oara, 119 Calea Aradului, 300645 Timi\u0219oara, Romania"},{"name":"Doctoral School of Plant and Animal Resources Engineering, University of Life Sciences \u201cKing Mihai I\u201d from Timi\u0219oara, 119 Calea Aradului, 300645 Timi\u0219oara, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0377-7723","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cristina Mirabela","family":"Gaspar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Life Sciences \u201cKing Mihai I\u201d from Timi\u0219oara, 119 Calea Aradui, 300645 Timi\u0219oara, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-1197-2395","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"R\u0103zvan Tudor","family":"P\u0103tr\u00eenjan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Life Sciences \u201cKing Mihai I\u201d from Timi\u0219oara, 119 Calea Aradui, 300645 Timi\u0219oara, Romania"},{"name":"Doctoral School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Life Sciences \u201cKing Mihai I\u201d from Timisoara, 119 Calea Aradui, 300645 Timi\u0219oara, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4863-8287","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Renata","family":"Knop","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Science, Institute of Animal Science, Biotechnology and Nature Conservation, Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences and Environmental Management, University of Debrecen, 4032 Debrecen, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"R\u0103ducu Cristian","family":"Marina\u0219","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Engineering and Applied Technologies, University of Life Sciences \u201cKing Mihai I\u201d from Timi\u0219oara, 119 Calea Aradului, 300645 Timi\u0219oara, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Florinel Cosmin","family":"Boja","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Engineering and Applied Technologies, University of Life Sciences \u201cKing Mihai I\u201d from Timi\u0219oara, 119 Calea Aradului, 300645 Timi\u0219oara, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-7268-7847","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Florin Adrian","family":"Huiban","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Doctoral School of Plant and Animal Resources Engineering, University of Life Sciences \u201cKing Mihai I\u201d from Timi\u0219oara, 119 Calea Aradului, 300645 Timi\u0219oara, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Claudia Daniela","family":"\u0218erban","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Doctoral School of Plant and Animal Resources Engineering, University of Life Sciences \u201cKing Mihai I\u201d from Timi\u0219oara, 119 Calea Aradului, 300645 Timi\u0219oara, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3096-0232","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Camelia","family":"Tulcan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Engineering and Applied Technologies, University of Life Sciences \u201cKing Mihai I\u201d from Timi\u0219oara, 119 Calea Aradului, 300645 Timi\u0219oara, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e34825","DOI":"10.3897\/BDJ.7.e34825","article-title":"Dispersal history of the golden jackal (Canis aureus moreoticus Geoffroy, 1835) in Europe and possible causes of its recent population explosion","volume":"7","author":"Spassov","year":"2019","journal-title":"Biodivers.
