“…can lead to severe anemia [ 15 ], even though many clinical signs are often absent at the early stages of infection [ 24 ]. The abdominal cavity lesions observed can be ascribed to the intense infestation by gastrointesintal nematodes [ 23 , 25 ]. Moreover, this could act as a predisposing factor for septicemic streptococcosis.…”

BackgroundStreptococcus agalactiae is pathogenic for both animals and humans. In dairy cattle it commonly causes mastitis, with great economic losses, and there is scientific evidence of mastitis, caseous lymphadenitis, contagious skin necrosis and purulent infections associated with S. agalactiae in camels (Camelus dromedarius) as well. In humans, it is a common component of the respiratory and gastrointestinal microflora, but it can also act as a pathogen, especially in elderly people and immunocompromised patients, as well as in pregrant women and newborns.Case presentationA 10-year old non-pregnant female llama (Lama glama) was conferred to the Institute for Animal Health Control, in Bolzano for necropsy after sudden death. The animal had not shown unusual behaviour and had a low to normal nutritional condition (body condition score 2/5). The breeder had reported a chronic suppurative subcutaneous infection in the intermandibular area, resistant to therapy (therapy unknown). After necropsy, several samples were processed for histological, bacteriological and parasitological examinations.ConclusionsThis report describes, to the best of our knowledge, the first isolation of S. agalactiae in llamas (Lama glama). The animal came from a herd that counts approximately 200 South American camelids (llamas, alpacas) along with several horses, chicken, rabbits, cats and dogs; this farm offers services, such as trekking and pet therapy activities.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12917-018-1676-9) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

In this review, information was summarized on endoparasites found in six non-domesticated neotropical animals. These mammals have the potential to be domesticated. The animals included three rodents, agouti (Dasyprocta leporina), lappe (Agouti paca), and capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris); a marsupial, manicou (Didelphis marsupialis insularis); and an artiodactyl, the collared peccary (Tayassu tajacu/Peccari tajacu) and a ruminant (the red brocket deer, Mazama americana). While there are many descriptions of the parasites present, the majority of publications failed to note the effect of them on the animals. Most information is available on endoparasites of capybara, while the endoparasites of the red brocket deer were the least reported. The manicou was reported to have had the most number of endoparasites, 44 species of parasites were reported, while there were only 24 endoparasites reported in the lappe. The most common parasites found in these neotropical animals were Paraspidodera uncinata, Strongyloides spp., Eimeria spp., Moniezia benedeni, Trichuris spp., Physocephalus spp., and Giardia spp. A large majority of the studies concluded that these animals were reservoirs for parasites that could affect domesticated livestock. Endoparasites of zoonotic significance were Echinoccocus spp., Trichuris spp., Giardia spp., and Cryptosporidium spp.

“…Um estudo conduzido no estado do Paraná, a prevalência de infecções parasitárias foi de 37,9%, semelhante a este estudo, também para o diagnóstico de Eimeria spp. e Capillaria spp., Strongyloidea em15.2% e ovos da classe Cestoda em 15% (SPRENGER et al, 2018).…”

“…Além da terapia antiparasitária apropriada, as medidas preventivas devem incluir higiene e correção do manejo para evitar reinfecções (CUBAS et al, 2014). O diagnóstico de rotina na clínica e reabilitação é imprescindível para o sucesso do manejo sanitário em aves em cativeiro, podendo colaborar na redução de óbitos e planificar protocolos de controle e prevenção de infecções parasitárias nos centros de reabilitação e clínicas especializadas (BARRETO, 2014;SPRENGER et al, 2018); fornecendo dados para a padronização de tratamentos ainda escassos para animais silvestres. A importância de estudo sna área de parasitologia de animais silvestres se deve ao fato de serem hospedeiros e reservatórios, podendo influenciar na saúde dos ecossistemas e dos ambientes naturais e domésticos (FREITAS et al, 2002).…”

“…Animais silvestres são importantes nageração de dados médicospassíveis de determinar a epidemiologia de patologias,como as infestações e infecções parasitárias cosmopolitas, causandosinais clínicos de apatia, diarreia, penas arrepiadas, perda de apetite e caquexia (CUBAS et al, 2014). As parasitoses estão entre os problemas sanitários mais comuns que afetam as aves cativas, especialmente em populações de alta densidade (BARNES et al, 1986) e tem forte correlação com o estado de imunidade e depende do manejo adotado em cativeiro, estresse, superpopulação e desnutrição, cujos fatores propiciam o seu aparecimento e determinam sua intensidade (PAPINI et al 2012;SPRENGER et al, 2018).…”

Prevalência de parasitos intestinais em aves domésticas e silvestres do sul do Brasil. Prevalence of intestinal parasites in domestic and wild birds of the south of Brazil ________________________________________________________________________________ ResumoObjetivou-se monitorar e conhecer a diversidade parasitária de aves domésticas e silvestres através de exames coprológicos. As amostras fecais foram provenientes do Núcleo de Reabilitação e Conservação de Animais Silvestres (Preservas) da Faculdade de Veterinária da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. As coletas foram executadas por três anos (2015 a 2017), compostas por fezes de 203 aves, distribuídas em 21 Ordens. As fezes foram processadas pelos métodos de Willis-Mollay e de Lutz. A prevalência total foi 38,8% (80/206) com 45,8% (38/80), 40% (26/80) e 27,6% (16/80), respectivamente, em 2015, 2016 e 2017. A rotina na coleta de fezes é relevante para a identificação da fauna parasitária de aves silvestres. A inclusão do tratamento parasitário auxilia na rápida recuperação das aves quando da presença de patologias concorrentes. Palavras-chave: Eimeria spp., Capillaria spp., Ascaridia spp., exames coprológicos. AbstractThe objective was to monitor and know the parasite diversity of domestic and wild birds through coprological exams. Fecal samples were obtained from the Center for Rehabilitation and Conservation of Wild Animals (Preservas) of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The collections were executed for three years (2015 to 2017), composed of faeces of 203 birds distributed in 21 Orders. The faeces were processed by the methods of Willis-Mollay and Lutz. The total prevalence was 38.8% (80/206) with 45.8% (38/80), 40% (26/80) and 27.6% (16/80), respectively, in 2015, 2016 and 2017. The fecal collection routine is relevant for the identification on the parasitic fauna of wild birds. The inclusion of parasite treatment assists in the rapid recovery of birds when there are competing pathologies.
