“…The helminth species richness of N. squamipes populations in Sumidouro (seven species) was much greater than that in other studies carried out in agroforestries in the state of Bahia, Brazil, which reported three species of nematodes in each locality (Kersul et al, 2016; Costa et al, 2022 ). The helminth communities found in those studies represent a subgroup of the helminth community of the N. squamipes population from Sumidouro.…”

“…Hassalstrongylus epsilon and S. venteli were also found in N. squamipes by Gomes et al (2003) . In addition, H. epsilon parasitizes not only N. squamipes but also the rodents Akodon cursor (Winger, 1887; Gomes et al, 2003 ) and Oligoryzomys nigripes (Olfers, 1818) ( Panisse et al, 2017 ; Costa et al, 2022 ), which are the most abundant rodent species after N. squamipes in Sumidouro ( D'Andrea et al, 2007 ). The direct life cycle and host generalist habit of H. epsilon may favor the maintenance of the life cycle of this nematode in the region and explain its high prevalence and abundance.…”

“…Recently, in 2021, a new survey of the helminth community of the water rat was conducted, together with diagnoses of the human population in the same area. The helminth community of N. squamipes has been investigated in other areas ( Gomes et al, 2003 ; Kuhnen et al, 2012 ; Panisse et al, 2017 ; Kersul et al, 2020 ; Costa et al, 2022 ); however, this is the only study carried out in an endemic area of schistosomiasis where this rodent was found to be infected by S. mansoni . In this context, the aim of this study was to compare the helminth fauna and their community structure in N. squamipes after a 22-year time interval in Sumidouro.…”

“…Dallas and Presley (2014) reported this pattern in the helminth metacommunity of rodents in New Mexico, which was associated with a high parasite specificity. Costa et al (2022) recorded a quasi-Clementsian pattern – analogous to the Clementsian pattern – for helminths of sigmodontine rodents in an agroforestry mosaic in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. For Brazilian marsupials, there are only two studies of helminth metacommunity structure, and both are for the genus Didelphis (Cirino et al 2022; Costa-Neto et al 2019).…”

Marmosa constantiae is a species of marsupial restricted to the central portion of South America. In Brazil, it occurs in the northwestern region including five states of the Amazon, Cerrado, and Pantanal biomes. However, there is no study of the helminth fauna or helminth community structure for this marsupial. The aims of this study were to describe the species composition and to analyse the structure of the helminthic community of M. constantiae in an area of the Amazon Arc in Sinop, north of the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. Parasites were searched in 53 specimens of this marsupial, among which 44 were infected with at least one helminth species. Parasitic helminths were counted and identified. Nine species were collected: seven nematodes, one cestode, and one acanthocephalan. The most abundant species were Gracilioxyuris agilisis, Travassostrongylus scheibelorum, Pterygodermatites sinopiensis, and Subulura eliseae. These species were the only dominant ones in the component community. No significant differences were observed in the abundance and prevalence of helminths between male and female hosts. Host body size significantly influenced helminth abundance in males. The pattern of community structure considering the infracommunities in this locality indicated more species replacement than species loss along the environmental gradient. This is the first study to report the helminth fauna and the helminth community structure of M. constantiae.

Marmosa constantiae is a species of marsupial, restricted to the central portion of South America. In Brazil, it is restricted to the states of Acre, Amazonas, Mato Grosso, Paraná and Rondônia. However, there is no study of the helminth fauna or helminth community structure for this marsupial. The aims of this study were to describe the species composition and to analyse the structure of the helminthic community of M. constantiae at the infracommunity level in an area of the Amazon Arc in Sinop, north of the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. Parasites were searched in 53 specimens of this marsupial, among which 44 were infected with at least one helminth species. Parasitic helminths were counted and identified. Nine species were collected: seven nematodes, one cestode and one acanthocephalan. The most abundant species were Gracilioxyuris agilisis, Travassostrongylus scheibelorum, Pterygodermatites sinopiensis and Subulura eliseae. These species were the only dominants in the component community. No significant differences were observed in the abundance and prevalence of helminths between male and female hosts. Host body size significantly influenced the helminth abundance in males. The pattern of community structure considering the infracommunities in this locality indicated more species replacement than species loss along the environmental gradient. This is the first study to analyse the helminth fauna and the helminth community structure of M. constantiae.
