Oslerus (Anafilaroides) sp. in a Jaguarundi (Puma yagouaroundi) from Brazil

Report of Oslerus rostratus (Strongylida: Filaroididae) in cats from the Canary Islands, Spain

“…Recently, Oslerus sp. has been found in South America, more specifically in Brazil and Chile, parasitising two felid species, the jaguarundi (Puma yagouaroundi) and the guignas (Leopardus guigna), respectively (Corrêa et al, 2019;Acuña-Olea et al, 2020). Therefore, our study provides new data on the distribution of O. rostratus, being the seventh report on islands.…”

Oslerus (Oslerus) brachyurus sp. nov. (Metastrongyloidea: Filaroididae) from Chrysocyon brachyurus (Carnivora: Canidae) in Brazil

“…The other reports of Oslerus spp. in Brazilian hosts do not identify the parasite to species (Corrêa et al, 2019;Vieira et al, 2017).…”

“…Nematodes of this genus parasitize the lungs of domestic and wild dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) and cats (Felis catus) in most of the world (Bowman et al, 2002). However, in South America reports of this genus are scarce, it has been reported in domestic dogs from Chile (Alcaíno & Gorman, 1999;Muñoz et al, 2007), and in Chrysocyon brachyurus (Illiger, 1815) (Carnivora, Canidae) (Dias et al, 2012;Vieira et al, 2017) and in Puma yagouaroundi from Brazil (Corrêa et al, 2019), however, none of these studies made a taxonomic analysis of these nematodes. The current study is aimed to describe a new species of Oslerus parasitizing C. brachyurus from the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil.…”

Gongylonema sp. in the Tongue of a Brown-Nosed Coati (Nasua nasua) from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

“…In Brazil, helminth fauna studies in recent years have not identified Gonglyonema spp. in wild carnivoran hosts (Corrêa et al 2016; Vieira et al 2017; da Silva Pinheiro et al 2018; de Almeida et al 2019; Corrêa et al 2019; Moraes et al 2019). There are no previous published data on Gongylonema spp.…”
