“…However, a few L. chrysomelas individuals have been introduced into an urban Atlantic Forest fragment in Niterói city (Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil) by a private collector in the mid-90s, being considered as an exotic invasive species in this region [16]. This invasive population have had close contact with humans and domestic animals, entering at human houses and being fed by them, increasing the risk of virus transmission in both directions [17,18,19,20]. Moreover, the few introduced animals reproduced, becoming hundreds of animals, estimated in excess of 700 in late 2015 [21], and could be a threat to the local golden lion tamarin ( Leontopithecus rosalia ), an endangered species endemic to Rio de Janeiro state, with risks of disease transmission [14,15,16], competition by habitat and hybridization [16].…”

“…NHP are used as experimental models for Lyme disease, reproducing all the three phases of the infection: localized, disseminated, and (27,43). B. burgdorferi was identified by PCR in 16% (32/200) free-ranging golden-headed lion tamarin (L. chrysomelas) from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, confirming that this bacterium circulates in this region and suggesting that these tamarins may play a role in transmission of this pathogen to other animals or human beings (179).…”

“…Figure 3 shows the number of cases considering the changes in force in 1996, 2008, and 2022. Despite DLSB being considered rare in Brazil, seropositivity rates in animals, particularly dogs and horses, suggest a potential risk of transmission [58][59][60][61][62][63][64]. Cases of DLSB in Brazil were identified three decades ago [65], with some states instituting notifications.…”
