Cover Story: An ecosystem’s health is based on a delicate balance between humans, animals, and environmental health. There are several bioindicators that allow us to evaluate the status of ecosystems. The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) lives in rural and urban areas and has a greatly diverse diet. Being susceptible to environmental pollution and zoonotic agents, red foxes may act as sentinels to detect environmental contaminants, climatic changes, and to prevent and control outbreaks of emerging or re-emerging zoonosis. This paper aims to compile the latest information that is related to the red fox as a sentinel of human, animal, and environmental health. View this paper
