A recent study published in Parasitology about a molecular survey of Trypanosoma pestanai in badgers from the northern Iberian Peninsula reported a prevalence of 35%, in line with values reported in other European populations. Badgers from the Eurosiberian bioregion of Spain (42% prevalence) were more parasitized than their Mediterranean counterparts (19% prevalence), suggesting that more humid conditions could favor Trypanosoma persistence through host behavior or vector dynamics. This work has been made in collaboration with the Universidad de Zaragoza, the Instituto Agroalimentario de Aragón, the La Alfranca Wildlife Rescue Center, the NEIKER-Instituto Vasco de Investigación, and the Facultad de Ciencias de la Vida, Universidad Andrés Bello, Santiago, Chile.
