“…The Family Ancylostomatidae can also be found in wild or domestic canids and cats (Urquhart et al, 1998;Ragozo et al, 2002). However, we could not assert whether the maned wolves of the study area are natural hosts of this parasite or whether the infection is coming from sympatric domestic dogs and cats (exotics).…”

We examined 42 maned wolf scats in an unprotected and disturbed area of Cerrado in southeastern Brazil. We identified six helminth endoparasite taxa, being Phylum Acantocephala and Family Trichuridae the most prevalent. The high prevalence of the Family Ancylostomatidae indicates a possible transmission via domestic dogs, which are abundant in the study area. Nevertheless, our results indicate that the endoparasite species found are not different from those observed in protected or least disturbed areas, suggesting a high resilience of maned wolf and their parasites to human impacts, or a common scenario of disease transmission from domestic dogs to wild canid whether in protected or unprotected areas of southeastern Brazil.Keywords: Chrysocyon brachyurus, impacted area, parasites, scat analysis. Parasitas gastrointestinais de lobo-guará (Chrysocyon brachyurus,Illiger 1815) em uma área suburbana no sudeste do Brasil ResumoForam examinadas 42 fezes de lobo-guará em uma área desprotegida e perturbada do Cerrado no sudeste do Brasil. Nós identificamos seis táxons de helmintos endoparasitas, sendo o Filo Acantocephala e a Família Trichuridae os mais prevalentes. A alta prevalência da Família Ancylostomatidae indica uma possível transmissão por cães domésticos, que são abundantes na área de estudo. No entanto, nossos resultados indicam que as espécies de endoparasitas encontradas não são diferentes daquelas observadas em áreas protegidas ou menos perturbadas, o que sugere uma alta resiliência do lobo-guará e seus parasitas aos impactos humanos ou um cenário comum de transmissão de doenças de cães domésticos para um canídeo selvagem, seja em áreas protegidas ou desprotegidas do sudeste do Brasil.Palavras-chave: Chrysocyon brachyurus, área impactada, parasitas, análise fecal.

SUMMARYThe contaminated soil with mammal feces is an important factor of risk to infection with zoonotic diseases. Amongst these zoonoses are visceral larva migrans and cutaneous larva migrans caused by Toxocara spp. and Ancylostoma spp., respectively. The aim of this study was to assess the environmental contamination by Toxocara spp. eggs and hookworms (Ancylostoma spp.) in public parks and squares in the city of Guarulhos, a metropolitan area of São Paulo, São Paulo State, Brazil. Soil samples were collected, between September and December 2010, and examined using the centrifugal flotation technique with sodium dichromate and zinc sulphate as well as the modified Baermann method. Notably, 35 (74.5%) of the 47 districts surveyed in Guarulhos possessed samples contaminated with Toxocara spp. and/or eggs or larvae of Ancylostoma spp. The frequency of Toxocara spp. and Ancylostoma spp. in the samples from public areas was 68.1% and 46.8%, respectively. Overall, the eastern side of Guarulhos is the region with the highest occurrence of causative agents of larva migrans. In all collection sites, the presence of feces from dogs and cats accompanied by their owners and stray animals were observed. Notably, it is important to adopt measures to control dog and cat breeding, to treat infected animals, and provide health education to the population.

Ectoparasitos e helmintos intestinais em ResumoOs objetivos da realização deste trabalho foram determinar a prevalência de ectoparasitos e parasitos gastrointestinais (GI) em gatos domiciliados, nas regiões central e periférica, da cidade de Lages, SC e também caracterizar as famílias proprietárias de gatos quanto as suas condições sócioeconômicas e culturais. No período de dezembro de 2005 a dezembro de 2006, foram distribuídos 600 questionários a proprietários de animais cidade de Lages, SC e coletados ectoparasitos e amostras de fezes. A prevalência para ectoparasitos foi de 13,8% (28/203) e para parasitos GI, 37,8% (42/111). A prevalência de parasitos em gatos domiciliados da região periférica foi maior que os da região central. Os ectoparasitos observados foram Ctenocephalides felis felis, C. canis e Ctenocephalides híbrido (C. felis felis × C. canis). Os ovos de helmintos intestinais identificados nas fezes de gatos foram Ancylostoma spp., Toxocara sp., Trichuris sp., família Taeniidae e Oncicola sp. Na região periférica, o maior número de animais positivos pertencia a proprietários de baixa renda salarial e pouca escolaridade. As populações residentes nos bairros da região periférica encontram-se mais expostas aos agentes com potencial zoonótico.Palavras-chave: Parasitos, gatos domiciliados, diagnóstico. AbstractThe purpose of this research was to determinate the prevalence of ectoparasites and gastrointestinal (GI) parasites in domiciliated cats, from central and peripheral region, of Lages city, Santa Catarina State and also characterize the economic, social and cultural status of families' pet owners. From the period of December 2005 to December 2006, 600 questionnaires were distributed to pet owners of Lages city and ectoparasites and faeces were collected. The prevalence of ectoparasites was 13.8% (28/203) and for GI parasites was 37.8% (42/111). The prevalence of parasites in domiciliated cats from the peripheral region were bigger than in the central region. The ectoparasites observed were Ctenocephalides felis felis, C. canis and Ctenocephalides hybrid (C. felis felis x C. canis). The intestinal helminths eggs observed in cats faeces were Ancylostoma spp., Toxocara sp., Trichuris sp., Taeniidae family and Oncicola sp. In the peripheral region, the largest number of positive animals belonged to owners of low-income wage and low education The peripheral region population are over exposed to potencial zoonotic agents.
