“…Segundo Takos e Thomas (1958), Dunn (1963), Nelson et al (1966) e King Jr. (1993, Prosthenorchis sp. é importante não apenas pela sua alta patogenicidade, mas também porque é hospedeiro intermediário da barata (Blatella germanica), que é encontrada nos criatórios de primatas e participa do ciclo dessa parasitose (Brumpt e Urbain, 1938;Graham, 1960).…”

“…Em relação às perfurações intestinais, os registros na literatura são raros, nem sempre também estão relacionadas ao intenso parasitismo, porque hemorragias intestinais e até perfurações da parede podem ocorrer na presença de número muito baixo de parasitas no lúmen, enquanto, externamente, só se observam nódulos reacionais (Dunn,1963;Pereira Leite, 2002 (Monteiro et al, 2003). A origem dessa parasitose pode estar relacionada à presença de espécies invasoras como Callithrix jacchus e C. penicillata ali introduzidas e resultantes do tráfico de animais que foram soltos de modo indiscriminado, sem triagem clínica apurada.…”

“…Os adultos de Prosthenorchis sp habitam o lúmem da porção terminal do íleo, do ceco e do cólon dos platirrinos, fixando-se firmemente à parede intestinal por meio da inserção profunda de suas probóscides espinhosas na submucosa e túnica muscular do intestino (Dunn, 1963;Nelson et al, 1966).…”

Estudaram-se achados de necropsia de 454 espécimens de Leontopithecus. Quatorze (3,1%) apresentaram-se infectados por acantocéfalos intestinais identificados como Prosthenorchis elegans (Diesing, 1861). Não foram observadas diferenças na ocorrência do parasito quanto à espécie, origem - cativos ou selvagens - e sexo. Clinicamente os animais apresentaram-se com o pelame eriçado, apatia, inapetência, dores abdominais e diarréia. Em dois animais parasitados (14,2%), observou-se perfuração da parede intestinal. As lesões encontradas caracterizaram-se por uma grave enterite ulcerativa. A ocorrência desses parasitos reforça a necessidade do estabelecimento de protocolos sanitários rígidos no manejo das espécies de primatas do neotrópico.

“…is the most important parasitic disease in non-human primates, because of its zoonotic transmission potential (Mbaya and Udendeye 2011). The infection has been described by Monteiro et al (2003) and Holsback et al (2013). Owing to 98% of genetic similarity between nonhuman primates and humans, there are more than 150 zoonosis diseases among species, many of them from parasite origin (Souza Júnior 2007).…”

The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and diversity of gastrointestinal parasites in fecal samples from wild birds and mammals from the State of Paraná. In total, 220 stool samples were sent to Parasitic Diseases Laboratory of the Federal University of Paraná during 13 months (Jan/2013-Jan/2014). A total of 52.7% (116/220) of the animals were positive for cysts, oocysts, eggs and/or trophozoites. In birds, the positivity rate was 37.9% (25/66) and mammals was 59.1% (91/154). Strongyloidea superfamily eggs were observed in 37.3% (82/220) of the samples, Eimeria spp. in 10% (22/220), and Trichuris spp. in 4.5% (10/220). The most frequent mammal species were llamas (Lama glama), and dromedaries (Camelus bactrianus) with infection rate of 70.1% (54/77) and 60.8% (14/23), respectively. In other hand, cockatiels (Nymphicus hollandicus) and ring necks (Psittacula krameri), were the most researched birds, with infection rate of 20% (40/50) and 100% (6/6), respectively. A high prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites was observed in most of wildlife animals. Further investigations should be conducted focusing on parasite control strategies and the conservation measurements for harmonizing the human-animal interaction on the long-term, reducing associated health risks.

“…Enterobius nematodes are Oxyuridae that are found in humans and primates and have anthropozoonotic importance (DILRUKSDHI et al, 2006). Species of Strongyloides and Enterobius in non-human primates, including the human parasites Enterobius vermicularis, Strongyloides stercoralis and S. fuelleborni have been described by Inglis (1961), Yamaschita (1963, Collet et al (1986) and Monteiro et al (2003).…”

The objective of this study was to investigate the frequency of occurrence and variety of intestinal parasites among free-living wild animals. Fecal samples from wild mammals and birds at rehabilitation centers in the states of Mato Grosso do Sul and São Paulo were analyzed by sedimentation and flotation-centrifugation methods. Parasite eggs, oocysts, cysts and/or trophozoites were found in 71% of the samples. Cryptosporidium sp. oocysts were detected in fecal samples from oncillas (Leopardus tigrinus) and scaly-headed parrots (Pionus maximiliani). Giardia cysts were identified in the feces of a gray brocket (Mazama gouazoubira). Among the most common parasites found, there were eggs from Toxocara cati, Toxascaris leonina and Ancylostoma tubaeforme, and from Cestoda. Several Enterobius sp. eggs were found in the feces of red howler monkeys (Alouatta seniculus). It can be concluded from this study that despite the small number of samples, the diversity of parasites found was noteworthy. Additional information about parasite endofauna in wild animals is needed, since their presence might suggest that there could be proximity to and interactions with domestic animals and/or humans. In addition, further studies on parasites from free-living wild animals are of prime importance for understanding the intensity of anthropic changes in wild environments.
