“…The data I have obtained on laboratory and field observations over the last 35 five years about the ecology of visceral leishmaniasis in the State of Bahia are wholly presented in this paper, although papers on some aspects of the natural history of visceral leishmaniasis in the State of Bahia have already been published by other authors or by myself and collaborators (Pessoa et al 1955, Lopes & Sarno 1956, Sherlock 1964, Sherlock & Santos 1964, Sherlock l969, Sherlock & Almeida 1969, Sherlock & Guitton 1969a,b, Sherlock & Almeida 1970, Teixeira 1980, Sherlock et al 1984, Badaró et al 1986a,b, Barral et al 1986, Badaró 1988, Sherlock 1987, Sherlock et al 1988a,b, Sherlock & Miranda 1992, Cunha et al 1995.…”

“…The opossum Didelphis albiventris was found naturally infected by L. infantum in Brazil 44,45 , as well as D. marsupialis in Colombia 13,47 and Venezuela 52 . In Barra de Guaratiba, Rio de Janeiro State, the distance of the house from the forest border, its altitude and the presence of D. marsupialis in the backyard were found to be predictor factors for L. infantum infection in dogs 11 .…”

“…127,128 Some opossums commonly found in the GEC were naturally infected with L. (L.) infantum: Didelphis marsupialis in Columbia [129][130][131] and D. albiventris in Bahia, although foxes and rodents were not infected. 132,133 In Colombia, it was also suggested that the rodent Proechimys canicollis may be a reservoir host of this parasite, 107 but no infection was observed in Proechimys guyanensis after inoculation with a strain from Amazonian Brazil, 134 The status of these marsupial and rodent species as important reservoir hosts for L. (L.) infantum in some specific areas remains unclear.…”
