Impacts• First collation of previously published organisms isolated from species of the family Viverridae provides baseline information to assist viverrid population management.• Summarizes anthropogenic factors (trade, farming, encroachment on viverrid habitat) bringing viverrids into proximity with humans.• Discusses detected organisms in terms of potential risk for public health given the described anthropogenic factors which facilitate transmission and spillover of organisms between and amongst animals and people. SummaryThe Viverridae is a family of nocturnal carnivores including civets, genets and African linsangs. While a list of known organisms isolated from a species is an essential tool for population management, this review represents the first attempt to collate published reports of organisms isolated from viverrids. A wide range of organisms, including 11 viruses, eight bacterial species, one internal arthropod species, representatives from eight genera of protozoan, 21 genera of nematode, seven genera of cestode, eight genera of trematode and six genera of external arthropod (mites, ticks and louse), have been reported in literature spanning over a century of research. Many of these are capable of infecting multiple hosts, including humans. This is of concern given the anthropogenic factors that bring humans and domestic species into close contact with viverrids, facilitating transmission and spillover of organisms between groups. These factors include trade in viverrids for human consumption, captive management in zoos, rescue centres or on commercial breeding farms, and the increasing overlap of free-ranging viverrid distribution and human settlement.

“…alienata is clearly different from T. cati, and T. canis and T. vitulorum which are the only species in this genus reported in North America. It is evident that of the 15 species in Toxocara listed by MAUNG (1975), T. alienata in most respects resembles T. suricattae from African civets, but even more closely it resembles species occurring in rodents, especially T. mackerrasae in South East Asia and Australia. From this species it appears to differ only in having smaller eggs with smaller pits.…”

“…With regard to its affinities with other Toxocara spp. it is appropriate to refer to the keys and descriptions of WARREN (1971WARREN ( , 1972 and MAUNG (1975). Its hardly perceptible cervical alae, extending only to the excretory nucleus, resemble the alae of T. suricattae and T. mackerrasae and differentiate T. alienata from T. vincenti, T. canis, T. cati, T. pteropodis, T. tanuki, T. vajrasthirae and T. hippopotami.…”

Ascaridoid nematodes occurring in South American mammals are divided into categories based on their possible origin. The affinities are discussed of five species so far known only from the Neotropical Region.Toxocara alienata(Rudolphi, 1819) is reported fromNasua rufa socialis, Procyon cancrivorus, andTayassus torquatus. The specimens fromT. torquatusare described and found most closely to resembleToxocara mackerrasaefrom south-east Asian and Australian rodents.Anisakis insignisfromInia geoffrensisis transferred back toPeritracheliusDiesing, 1851, on account of the structure of the lips and spicules.P. insignisis shown to exhibit remarkable convergence of lip structure withLagochilascaris turgidafromDidelphis marsupialis.Galeiceps longispiculum(Freitas & Lent, 1941) fromPteronura brasiliensisis confirmed as a species distinct fromG. cucullus(Linstow, 1899) andG. spinicollis(Baylis, 1923), butG. simiae(Mosgovoy, 1951) is considered to be a synonym ofG. spinicollis. An error in the host record ofG. spinicollisis corrected fromCercopithecus leucampyx kandtitoLutra maculicollis kivuana.Ascaris dasypodinaBaylis, 1922 from armadillos, includingCabassous unicinctusandTolypeutes matacos, is redescribed and placed in a new genusBairdascaris. The question is raised as to whether some species inLagochilascaris, Galeiceps, andToxocaramay have crossed directly by sea from Africa to South America, rather than entering via North America.
