“…a: species identification was carried out after nymphs had molted to the adult stage in the laboratory; b: species identification was carried out after larvae had molted to nymphs that engorged on rabbits and molted to the adult stage in the laboratory. (Serra-Freire et al 1996, Sinkoc et al 1998, Pereira et al 2000 should be re-evaluated. The present records of adults of A. longirostre on porcupine, A. rotundatum on cold blooded hosts (snakes), and A. cooperi on capybaras are in agreement with the literature that reports these ticks, almost exclusively on these hosts (Aragão 1936, Jones et al 1972, Evans et al 2000, Guimarães et al 2001.…”

“…They detected the presence of this parasite in blood smears obtained from water buffalos originating from Marajó Island in the state of Pará. Subsequent studies also reported the presence of T. vivax in buffalos from the same region [46], as well as in the neighboring state of Amapá [47]. In addition to confirmed infections in cattle, T. vivax infection has also been reported in horses in Brazil [48].…”

Trypanosomiasis, alternatively known as trypanosomosis, is the name of several diseases in vertebrates, induced by parasitic protozoans belonging to the Trypanosoma genus. The best-studied species is Trypanosoma brucei with two subspecies: Trypanosoma brucei gambiense and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, which cause Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), also known as sleeping sickness. Moreover, African animal trypanosomiasis (AAT) poses a substantial risk of spillover and the transmission of different species and strains among populations, impacting both livestock and wildlife. Increased human activity and pressure on land resources are increasing wildlife-livestock-human infections. In addition to the role of human Trypanosoma reservoir, animals can become infected and ill as a consequence of the activity of other forms of trypanosomes, such as Trypanosoma congolense, Trypanosoma vivax, Trypanosoma brucei brucei, Trypanosoma simiae, Trypanosoma evansi, and others. Tsetse flies (Glossina spp.) can transfer parasites through their salivary glands or, in rare instances, by congenital transmission. Chagas disease (Morbus Chagas), also known as American trypanosomiasis, is a chronic infection caused by Trypanosoma cruzi. The competent vectors of Chagas disease are bed bugs from the genera Triatoma, Rhodnius, and Panstrongylus. All major groups of mammals, including Artiodactyla, Chiroptera, Primates, Carnivora, Rodentia, Cingulata, Pilosa, and Didelphimorphia, have been shown to participate in the transmission cycle of T. cruzi. Chagas disease is endemic in Central and South America. Human and animal trypanosomiases continue to present a major human and animal public health threat globally. The high genetic diversity of Trypanosoma spp. requires further research to prevent cross-species transmission, which could affect animal, human, and environmental health. In this chapter, we delve into the most significant Trypanosoma species, their epidemiology, distribution, importance for biodiversity, and public health.
