Reportes de felinos silvestres (Carnívora: Felidae) en el área urbana de Cúcuta, Nororiente de Colombia

This study aimed to identify the intestinal parasites of road-killed wild felines in the North Central and North, Paraná state, southern Brazil. The animals were monitored by sampling previously established transects. The places where the felines were run over were mapped, the animals were identified, and the gastrointestinal tract was evaluated. The feces were submitted to coproparasitological techniques of spontaneous sedimentation, floating in hypersaturated NaCl solution and centrifugal floating in zinc sulfate. All the parasitic structures detected were photomicrographed. In the coproparasitological analyses were identified oocysts of Cystoisospora spp., eggs of Ancylostomatidae, and Capillaria spp.; eggs of Aelurostrongylus spp., Toxocara spp., Physaloptera spp., Taenia spp., and Spirometra spp.; Aelurostrongylus abstrusus larvae; and eggs and adults of Ancylostoma cati and Taenia spp. One of the cats was parasitized by a flea of Ctenocephalides felis felis. Based on these results, the animals analyzed in this study supplied important samples for the evaluation of parasitic diversity of North of Paraná and suggested that this region may have conditions that allow the maintenance of these parasites life cycles in the environment and among wildlife.

Los pequeños felinos afrontan distintas amenazas a su conservación como la deforestación, su uso como mascotas, la cacería por retaliación o para consumo humano. No obstante, esta última es una amenaza escasamente documentada. En Colombia se ha reportado el consumo de carne de felinos como el yaguaroundi, puma y jaguar. Aquí se reporta el caso de un margay, cazado y consumido por comunidades de campesinos en el departamento de La Guajira. Este es el primer registro directo documentado de caza y consumo para esta especie en el país. Esta información puede aportar al conocimiento de la problemática y representar un aspecto importante para la conservación de pequeños felinos silvestres en áreas rurales marginales de Colombia.

El grisón (Galictis vittata) es una de las especies carnívoras menos estudiadas. Existe poca información sobre su presencia en el estado de Tabasco. En octubre de 2020 se observó un individuo de Galictis vittata en un área suburbana al sur de la ciudad de Villahermosa. El presente registro represente el primero de la especie en ambientes urbanizados. Estas áreas podrían ser importantes para la conservación de la especie en paisajes con influencia humana.
