“…A juvenile infected marmoset that died with neurological signs was recently reported in urbanized area from Niterói, Brazil (136). In this case the sequenced viral DNA showed characteristic of hematophagous bats Desmodus rotundus RABV strain (AgV3), similar to the one detected in the cases from Bahia.…”

“…In Brazil RABV has been controlled by preventive vaccination programs focusing on domestic animals. However, currently, wild animals, especially vampire (19,58,88,107,136). Interestingly, outbreaks of RABV were initially concentrated in the states of Ceará and Pernambuco (up to 2012) but now extended to other states, such as Piauí (since 2013), Bahia (2017), and Rio de Janeiro (2019) (19).…”

Neotropical primates are represented by more than 200 species and subspecies distributed in five families. Considering that some of these species are considered endangered, disease investigation in these populations is critical for conservation strategies. Therefore, an increasing number of studies and publications on this topic became available in the past few years. This review deals with infectious diseases of neotropical primates, with focus on free-ranging animals, including those caused by bacterial, viral, protozoal, metazoan, or mycotic infectious organisms, with particular emphasis on gross and microscopic lesions associated with these diseases. In addition, a few relevant unpublished cases of infection by Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli and Pseudomonas spp. were included in this review.

Rabies in the common marmoset and humans bitten by this primate have been sporadically detected in Brazil [ 6 , 11 – 13 ], resulting in the report of nine human deaths associated with rabies transmitted by C . jacchus between 2000 and 2017 [ 6 ].…”

“…In the wild, common marmosets are found in scrub, forest, and plantation habitats in the Atlantic coastal forest as well as the semi-deciduous Caatinga biome [ 10 , 14 , 15 ]. However, human-mediated transportation and pet trade have introduced the common marmoset into both urban areas and southern regions of the country including the states of Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais [ 13 , 16 ].

Spatio-temporal dynamics of rabies and habitat suitability of the common marmoset Callithrix jacchus in Brazil

et al. 2022

Rabies transmitted by wildlife is now the main source of human rabies in the Americas. The common marmoset, Callithrix jacchus, is considered a reservoir of rabies causing sporadic and unpredictable human deaths in Brazil, but the extent of the spillover risk to humans remains unknown. In this study, we described the spatiotemporal dynamics of rabies affecting C. jacchus reported to Brazil’s Ministry of Health passive surveillance system between 2008 and 2020, and combined ecological niche modelling with C. jacchus occurrence data to predict its suitable habitat. Our results show that 67 outbreaks (91 cases) of rabies affecting C. jacchus were reported by 41 municipalities between January 2008 and October 2020, with a mean of 5 outbreaks/year [range: 1–14]. The maximum number of outbreaks and municipalities reporting cases occurred in 2018, coinciding with higher surveillance of primate deaths due to Yellow Fever. A mean of 3 [1–9] new municipalities reported outbreaks yearly, suggesting potential spatial expansions of the C. jacchus variant in northeastern Brazil and emerging rabies spillover from vampire bat Desmodus rotundus to C. jacchus in the north and south. Outbreaks were concentrated in the states of Ceará (72%) and Pernambuco (16%) up to 2012, but are now reported in Piauí since 2013, in Bahia since 2017 (D. rotundus’ antigenic variant, AgV3) and in Rio de Janeiro since 2019 (AgV3). Besides confirming suitable habitat for this primate in the northeast and the east coast of Brazil, our Maximum Entropy model also predicted suitable habitat on the north and the west states of the country but predicted low habitat suitability among inland municipalities of the Caatinga biome reporting rabies. Our findings revealed new areas reporting rabies infecting C. jacchus, highlighting the need to implement strategies limiting spillover to humans and to better understand the drivers of C. jacchus rabies dynamics.
