| prevalence of infection with junin virus in rodent populations in the epidemic area of argentine hemorrhagic fever. | we report the results of indirect fluorescent antibody screening for antibody to junin virus in 1,101 sera from small mammals captured on two mark-recapture grids in the epidemic area of argentine hemorrhagic fever. twenty-six of 29 seropositive animals were the cricetid rodent calomys musculinus, for a 30-month prevalence of 7.9% in that species. combining these data with previously published data on antigen detection provided an estimated total prevalence of infection of 10.9% for this, the pr ... | 1994 | 7985747 |
| ticks (acari: ixodida) on wild carnivores in brazil. | the present study reports field data of ticks infesting wild carnivores captured from july 1998 to september 2004 in brazil. additional data were obtained from one tick collection and from previous published data of ticks on carnivores in brazil. during field work, a total of 3437 ticks were collected from 89 cerdocyon thous (crab-eating fox), 58 chrysocyon brachyurus (maned wolf), 30 puma concolor (puma), 26 panthera onca (jaguar), 12 procyon cancrivorus (crab-eating raccoon), 4 speothos venati ... | 2005 | 16082932 |
| late pleistocene carnivores (carnivora: mammalia) from a cave sedimentary deposit in northern brazil. | the brazilian quaternary terrestrial carnivora are represented by the following families: canidae, felidae, ursidae, procyonidae mephitidae and mustelidae. their recent evolutionary history in south america is associated with the uplift of the panamanian isthmus, and which enabled the great american biotic interchange (gabi). here we present new fossil records of carnivora found in a cave in aurora do tocantins, tocantins, northern brazil. a stratigraphical controlled collection in the sedimenta ... | 2014 | 25590705 |
| new species and records of mites of the superfamily sarcoptoidea (acariformes: psoroptidia) from mammals in brazil. | sixteen species of the superfamily sarcoptoidea (acariformes: psoroptidia) belonging to 10 genera of the families atopomelidae, listrophoridae, chirodiscidae, and listropsoralgidae are recorded in brazil. among them, three species, prolistrophorus hylaeamys sp. nov. from hylaeamys laticeps (lund, 1840) (cricetidae: sigmodontinae) from minas gerais, lynxacarus serrafreirei sp. nov. from galictis cuja (molina, 1782) (carnivora: mustelidae) from rio de janeiro (listrophoridae), and didelphoecius mi ... | 2016 | 26751869 |
| fleas and ticks in carnivores from a domestic-wildlife interface: implications for public health and wildlife. | fleas and ticks are parasites of wild and domestic mammals, and can be vectors of several pathogens. in rural areas, domestic carnivores such as the domestic dog (canis lupus familiaris l.), may act as a "bridge" between natural areas and human settlements where ectoparasites can be used as a metric of such link. the aim of this study was to identify fleas, ticks, and rickettsia spp., collected from domestic and wild carnivores in a natural reserve and surrounding human settlements in central ch ... | 2016 | 27539151 |
| helminth parasites of galictis cuja (carnivora, mustelidae), from localities in the atlantic forest of brazil. | the current study aimed to investigate the helminth parasites of a population of galictis cuja (carnivora, mustelidae) that occur in atlantic forest in the southeastern region of brazil. we necropsied 18 specimens of g. cuja, collected between january 2009 and may 2014, ran over victims on br-040 highway, between the municipalities of duque de caxias, state of rio de janeiro and juiz de fora, state of minas gerais, localities inserted in atlantic rainforest biome. a total of six species of helmi ... | 2016 | 27925069 |
| efficiency of box-traps and leg-hold traps with several bait types for capturing small carnivores (mammalia) in a disturbed area of southeastern brazil. | capturing small carnivores is often necessary for obtaining key ecological data. we compared the efficiency of box and leg-hold traps, using live and dead bait, to capture six carnivore species (herpailurus yagouaroundi (e. geoffroyi, 1803), leopardus tigrinus (schreber, 1775), nasua nasua (linnaeus, 1766), cerdocyon thous (linnaeus, 1766), eira barbara (linnaeus, 1758), and galictis cuja (molina, 1782)). the use of leg-hold traps significantly increased the capture rate of carnivores (5.77%) an ... | 2007 | 18457140 |
| faecal virome analysis of wild animals from brazil. | the brazilian cerrado fauna shows very wide diversity and can be a potential viral reservoir. therefore, the animal's susceptibility to some virus can serve as early warning signs of potential human virus diseases. moreover, the wild animal virome of this biome is unknown. based on this scenario, high-throughput sequencing contributes a robust tool for the identification of known and unknown virus species in this environment. in the present study, faeces samples from cerrado birds (psittacara le ... | 2019 | 31480274 |
| crenosoma brasiliense sp. n. (nematoda: metastrongyloidea) parasitic in lesser grison, galictis cuja (molina, 1782) (carnivora, mustelidae) from brazil, with a key to species of crenosoma molin, 1861. | this study describes crenosoma brasiliense (nematoda, metastrongyloidea), a new species parasitic in bronchi and bronchioles of galictis cuja (molina) (carnivora, mustelidae) from brazil. this species differs from other 11 species of crenosoma by having a cuticular projection at the distal end of the spicules, forming a prominent blade at the tip of the spicule, a vulval cuticular appendage with a triangular shape and prominent vulval lips. there are no previous records of species of metastrongy ... | 2012 | 23136799 |

| clavicle in carnivorans: a forgotten bone. | the clavicle is a bone whose development is related to the versatility of the thoracic limbs in mammals. studies with vestigial structures are scarce and controversial, especially in the order carnivora. the objective of this study was to verify the presence and to investigate the shape and constitution of the clavicle in neotropical carnivores. in order to do this, 108 cadavers of 19 different species were collected dead on highways and were analyzed. the clavicles were submitted to dissections ... | 2020 | 31633876 |
| sylvatic american trypanosomiasis in argentina. trypanosoma cruzi infection in mammals from the chaco forest in santiago del estero. | trypanosoma cruzi infection in sylvatic mammals of the quebracho woods of the eastern part of santiago del estero province, argentina, was studied from october 1984 to december 1987. 301 mammals of 20 different species were caught. t. cruzi, characterized biologically and biochemically, was isolated by xenodiagnosis from 23 of 72 (32%) didelphis albiventris opposums, 2/36 (5.5%) conepatus chinga skunks, and one ferret (galictis cuja). 53 opossum refuges were located and triatomine bugs were foun ... | 1992 | 1566301 |
| trichinella infection in wild animals from endemic regions of argentina. | natural infection with trichinella has been described in more than 150 mammalian species. however, few reports of trichinella infection in wild animals have come from argentina. in this study, muscle tissue was obtained from wild animals in argentina with the aim of evaluating the presence of trichinella. a total of 169 muscle samples were collected to determine the presence of trichinella larvae by artificial digestion. the 169 muscle samples originated from 12 species including 36 opossums (di ... | 2010 | 20424859 |
| serological evidence of infection by leishmania (leishmania) infantum (synonym: leishmania (leishmania) chagasi) in free-ranging wild mammals in a nonendemic region of the state of são paulo, brazil. | concerns about the interface between wildlife, domestic animals, and humans in the transmission of visceral leishmaniasis (vl) have been growing due to natural or anthropogenic environmental changes. in this context, investigations of the infection in wild mammals are important to assess their exposure to the vector and the parasite. a study of anti-leishmania (leishmania) infantum antibodies was carried out using the direct agglutination test (dat) on 528 free-ranging wild mammals of 38 species ... | 2015 | 26418884 |
