“…In Brazil, the first paleoparasitological studies were conducted during the 1970s, by Dr. Luiz Fernando Rocha Ferreira da Silva and Dr. Adauto José Gonçalves de Araújo, from the Instituto Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ) (Novo & Ferreira, 2016). The identification of parasites in fossils and subfossils of fish, reptiles, birds, and mammals, including humans, from Brazilian lithostratigraphic units, have been presented for the States of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina (South Region), São Paulo, Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro (Southeast Region), Ceará, Piauí and Pernambuco (Northeast Region), and Mato Grosso (Central-West Region) (Figure 1) (Ferreira et al, 1979, 1980, 1983, 1989a, b, 1991, Araújo et al, 1981, 1984, 1989Confalonieri et al, 1981;Noronha et al, 1994;Gonçalves et al, 2003;Sianto et al, 2005Sianto et al, , 2014Sianto et al, , 2016Fernandes et al, 2008;Leles et al, 2008Leles et al, , 2018Lima et al, 2008;Camacho et al, 2013;Dentzien-Dias et al, 2013;Jaeger et al, 2013a, b;Hugot et al, 2014;Silva et al, 2014;Novo et al, 2015;Francischini et al, 2017;Cardia et al, 2018Cardia et al, , 2019aCardia et al, , b, 2021Guedes et al, 2020;Souza et al 2020;Aureliano et al, 2021;Iñiguez et al, 2022;Carmo et al, 2023). Therefore, the present review aimed to access and compile all the scientific publications reporting endoparasites in ancient remains collected in different paleontological and archaeological sites from Brazil, published during ...…”
