Hematological, serum biochemistry, and urinalysis values were determined for nine (two females and seven males) adult, free-living European wildcats (Felis silvestris) in the Kocevje Forests of the southern Slovenia. Samples were collected from August 1999 to March 2001. Cats were anesthetized with ketamine and medetomidine. Blood samples were take...

... Two animals were juvenile, one male (4.1 kg) and one female (2.8 kg). The animals were in good health and body condition according to the physical examination, blood and urine tests ( Potočnik et al. 2002;Račnik et al. 2004, Potočnik, unpublished data). One adult female seemed thin (3.1 kg), but this was in March following a very harsh winter of 2005/2006. ...
Prevalence of feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) was investigated in wild-living European
wildcats (Felis silvestris) in Slovenia. Seventeen blood samples of 15 wildcats (13 males and two females, two recaptures—1 and 1.5years after capture)
were collected between August 1999 and April 2006. Wildcats were anesthetized using ketamine and medetomidine. Specific antibodies
against FIV and FeLV antigens were detected using commercial virus antibody test kits or commercial antigen detection kits,
respectively. All investigated sera were negative for presence of specific antibodies against FIV and all investigated animals
were negative for presence of FeLV, showing that the highest expected prevalence of the diseases in the population is low.
This contrasts with the data from the domestic cats, suggesting a low level of contact between both populations. Apart from
addressing the obvious concerns about the impact of infectious diseases on a wild population, epidemiology can be a useful
tool for detection of the level of contact in cases when introgression of genes of a common or domestic subspecies/variety
might pose a problem for conservation of a threatened species/population.
... Nous avons pu constater que des chats forestiers et des hybrides peuvent approcher les fermes et les villages.métabolique/urine excrétée, urine pendant et hors période de rut, urine mâles/femelles, adulte/juvénile, etc.).Par ailleurs, comme l'identification spécifique de l'urine de lion faite parAndersen & Vulpius (1999), à partir de l'analyse des composés volatiles, et ceux deRačnik et al. (2004) sur la composition du sang et de l'urine chez les chats forestiers, suggéraient une piste de recherche intéressante, j'ai pré-initié une démarche de collaboration avec un chercheur de l'Université de Metz, afin de comparer la composition biochimique des urines de chats forestiers et chats domestiques. Cette étude n'a cependant pas pu, finalement, être mise en place, là aussi pour des raisons matérielles.Figure 6-1 : Enclos où sont maintenus les chats forestiers captifs (Centre de Lleida, Espagne).6.2 ...

A review of game/wildlife research in Slovenia is presented in this paper. This includes an overview of the organization and funding of research activities, a list of the most recent national research projects, other research activities in the field of game management, and some of the perspectives and challenges of helping game/wildlife to be recognized as an extremely important part of all natural ecosystems. A very important part of the contribution is a comprehensive list of scientific and
professional papers, that were published by Slovene researchers/experts in the 2003–2012 period, originating from game/wildlife related studies. The list includes 203 entities (including 85 original or review scientific papers, 2 chapters in scientific monographs, 31 published scientific lectures and 6 doctoral dissertations, respectively), and will enable all interested readers to learn much more about
game research in Slovenia. Indeed, particularly because the list will be used to produce a digital library, that will also be accessible on the website of the Slovene Hunting Association.
