Abstract: Capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) are the largest rodents found in South America. The aim of the present study was to investigate the occurrence of anti-Toxoplasma gondii and anti-Neospora caninum antibodies in 170 free-living capybaras in a residential park area in Itu Municipality, São Paulo State, Brazil. Serum samples were tested by indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT) for T. gondii (IFAT ≥ 1:16) and N. caninum (IFAT ≥ 1:50). Among the 170 samples analyzed, 10% (17/170) and 0% (0/170) were seropos… Show more

“…Also in SP, 63 capybaras were examined for N. caninum by IFAT (1:25) and other diseases and found two positive animals and one of them was positive for both T. cruzi and N. caninum, but no association was observed (VALADAS et al, 2010a). Recently, 170 samples of capybaras from SP were analyzed, but none were positive, although 17 (10%) were positive for T. gondii (ABREU et al, 2016). DNA of N. caninum was found in capybaras from PR (TRUPPEL et al, 2010), in 23% (6/26) of the studied animals.…”

“…Toxoplasma gondii naturally infects several species of marsupials and rodents, however, the frequencies of such infections can vary according to the region and the diagnostic technique used. Studies in Brazil have shown an infection rate ranging from 5.7% to 61.1% in wild rodents and from 4.7% to 63.6% in marsupials (Ferraroni & Marzochi, 1980;Salata et al, 1985;Yai et al, 2003;Cola et al, 2010, Costa et al, 2012Vitaliano et al, 2014;Fournier et al, 2014;Gennari et al, 2015;Abreu et al, 2016;Horta et al 2016). Research on this parasite in Chiroptera is even more scarce, although there are records in São Paulo (Cabral et al, 2013; showing more than 36.6% positives.…”
