“…in coatis (Nasua nasua) kept in captivity was studied, resulting in 52.94% (9/17) seropositivity and showing that Copenhageni and Shermani were the most prevalent serovars. The results reveal the infection in asymptomatic animals and reinforce that wild captive animals may be infected and become reservoirs (19).…”

Leptospirosis, a worldwide distributed zoononis caused by bacteria of the genus Leptospira (antigenically classified into serovars), may be direct or indirectly transmitted through infected urine or environment. Several domestic and wild animals are leptospirosis reservoirs. The disease presents occupational character since it is widely reported in professionals that work in humid environments -such as sewage workers and fishermen -and in places where rodents or susceptible animals are found, like slaughterhouses and veterinary clinics. In developing countries, outbreaks are related to lack of sanitation, overcrowding in inadequate housing and climatic conditions. In developed countries, sporadic cases occur in aquatic recreational activities including swimming and triathlon. The diagnosis of leptospirosis is complex due to the variety of symptoms, disease severity and the lack of techniques that are able to early detect the infection. Thus, leptospirosis causes numerous public health problems and educational activities are very important to its control.

“…Raccoons may also have antibodies against autumnalis, bratislava, and pomona, although the role of these serovars in raccoons is not well understood (Davis et al 2008). Antibodies against serovar wollfi have been reported in the South American coati (Nasua nasua; Langoni et al 2009). All of these wild and domestic species inhabit the shores of Laguna de las Ilusiones, either occasionally or permanently.…”

ABSTRACT:Factors that alter the dynamics of ecologic systems can influence transmission of infectious diseases and may lead to decreases in natural populations. Leptospirosis is a cosmopolitan disease of zoonotic importance that affects most mammals. At the southern Gulf of Mexico, Antillean manatees (Trichechus manatus manatus) inhabit highly variable environments, with extended floods during the rainy season and drought conditions during the dry season that affect food availability and the thermal environment for manatees. We tested for changes in prevalence and titers of antibodies to 12 serovars of Leptospira interrogans in manatees between dry and rainy seasons. We determined titers for L. interrogans through microscopic agglutination tests (MAT) from 10 manatees, six during the dry season (DS), and six during the rainy season (RS) in Laguna de las Ilusiones, a landlocked lake hosting a population of about 20 manatees. All individuals were antibody positive (titers $100) to at least one serovar. The serovars bataviae, bratislava, canicola, and icterohaemorrhagiae had overall prevalences $50%; bataviae, bratislava, and canicola had prevalences $50% during both seasons. Serovars icterohaemorrhagiae and pyrogenes had prevalences $50% during DS and pomona, tarassovi, wolfii, and autumnalis during RS. Significant differences in prevalence between seasons were found for pomona, tarassovi, and autumnalis. Titers of tarassovi, wolfii, autumnalis, and bataviae were significantly higher during RS. There was a high prevalence of L. interrogans during the RS independent of high availability of plant foods, coinciding with the epizootiology of the bacteria that are endemic to tropical regions. Another factor possibly influencing prevalence is high anthropogenic pressure at the lake, causing an increase in potential sources of infection. Because of possible cross-reaction in MAT, further research is needed on the molecular discrimination of serovars in animals in the lake.

“…It belongs to the family Procyonidae and the subfamily Procyoninae (Beisiegel, 2001). Bacterial and parasitic diseases have been reported in this species (Langoni et al, 2009;Milanelo et al, 2009), but spontaneous neoplasms are rarely described (Reppas et al, 2001;Skorinsky et al, 2008), with only one reported case of epitheliotropic lymphoma in the skin (Skorinsky et al, 2008). The current study describes the morphological and immunohistochemical findings of a rare case of intestinal T-cell lymphoma in a coati.…”

A 10-year-old female coati (Nasua nasua) was necropsied after an 8-day history of apathy, weight loss and dehydration. Gross changes consisted of multifocal to coalescing nodules ranging from 0.5 to 2.0 cm in diameter in the wall of the small intestine, adjacent to the mesentery and in the mesenteric lymph nodes. Histologically, neoplastic CD3-positive lymphocytes infiltrated all layers of the intestine, as well as the mesenteric adipose tissue and mesenteric lymph nodes. Based on the pathological and immunohistochemical findings, a diagnosis of intestinal T-cell lymphoma was made.
