“…The prevalence of infection was 27,3% in two species: Oligoryzomys nigripes and Rattus norvergicus. The other captured species were: Nectomys squamipes, Oryzomys angoya, Holochilus brasiliensis and Akodon cursor (Gazeta et al, 2004).…”

Blood parasites, total plasma protein and packed cell volume of small wild mammals trapped in three mountain ranges of the Atlantic Forest in Southeastern Brazil

et al. 2007

A study of blood parasites in small wild non-flying mammals was undertaken in three areas of the Atlantic Forest in Southeastern Brazil: Serra de Itatiaia, RJ, Serra da Bocaina, SP and Serra da Fartura, SP, from June 1999 to May 2001. A total of 450 animals (15 species) were captured in traps and it was observed in 15.5% of the blood smears the presence of Haemobartonella sp. and Babesia sp. in red blood cells. There was no statistically significant difference between parasited and non-parasited specimens regarding total plasma protein, packed cell volume and body weight, which strongly suggests that these specimens might be parasite reservoirs.Keywords: blood parasites, wild mammals, Atlantic Forest, plasma protein, packed cell volume. Hemoparasitismo, proteína total plasmática e volume globular em pequenos mamíferos silvestres em três áreas serranas da Mata Atlântica no Sudeste do Brasil ResumoA presença de hemoparasitos em pequenos mamíferos silvestres não voadores foi pesquisada em animais de três áreas serranas do Sudeste brasileiro, pertencentes ao complexo da Serra do Mar e da Serra da Mantiqueira, nos Estados de São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro e Minas Gerais. Foram capturados 420 animais de 15 espécies, durante dois anos, dos quais, 15,5% apresentaram Haemobartonella sp. e Babesia sp., observadas em lâmina de esfregaço sangüíneo no interior de suas hemácias. Os níveis de proteína total plasmática e de volume globular não apresentaram diferença estatisticamente significativa entre os indivíduos parasitados e não parasitados, assim como o peso corporal, o que sugere fortemente que esses animais possam ser reservatórios desses parasitos.Palavras-chave: hemoparasitos, mamíferos silvestres, Mata Atlântica, proteínas plasmáticas, volume globular.

“…Other studies with Mycoplasma in rodents show a significant impact of infection by M. pulmonis, which interferes with interpreting the experimental results obtained with infected animals (Tedesco et al, 2011). Gazeta et al (2004) Shih et al (1997) that also reported the infection in rodents (Rattus coxinga) from rural zones of Taiwan, close to highly populated areas, calling the attention to the risk of human Babesiosis and alerting to the evident emergency of research in species with host potentials of parasites and their unknown vectors. Therefore, it is of fundamental importance to detect and identify these hemoparasites in the G. spixii due to the potential risk of introducing possible infected specimen of this species in zoos, urban areas and households, due to the transport, interaction, manipulation, import, and transfer of these animals (B. S. Lima et al, 2013).…”

Brazil is composed of large ecosystems with vast biodiversity in fauna and flora. Agriculture and livestock farming provides an interaction between humans and domestic and wild animals, which favors the dissemination of infectious and parasitic agents. Wild rodents present a wide ecological diversity; therefore, it is necessary to know which species may be carriers of pathogens. This study aims to identify endo and ectoparasites, and hemoparasites in Spix's yellow-toothed cavy (Galea spixii Wangler, 1831), and determine the hematological parameters of this species. The study was carried out with 16 adult specimens from both sexes, captured in the rural areas of Remigio and Areia, Paraiba State, northeastern Brazil. All Spix's yellow-toothed cavies presented ectoparasites, Gliricola quadrisetosa, Gyropus ovalis, Laelaps sp. and Chirodiscoides caviae, and endoparasites identified by the presence of Nematode eggs, Cestode eggs, and coccidian oocysts in the stool samples. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of parasitism by Gyropus ovalis, Laelaps sp. and Chirodiscoides cavia in Spix's yellow-toothed cavy. Animals tested negative by PCR for hemotropic Mycoplasma sp., Babesia sp., Ehrlichia sp., and Bartonella sp. For the first time, the hematological profile of these animals was determined. These results can be the basis for future research with the species, which can be used as a sample animal in experiments in clinical settings as an epidemiological guide since this species is routinely used by impoverished populations in the Northeastern region of Brazil as pets, as well as a source of protein.
