Abstract: New World Nonhuman Primates are highly susceptible to clinical toxoplasmosis. Serum samples from 126 recently captured Leontopithecus chrysomelas, from an exotic and invasive population, were tested for Toxoplasma gondii antibodies by the modified agglutination test (MAT, cut-off 1:25); all were seronegative. The MAT is highly specific and is not species-specific. This is the first report of T. gondii survey in this tamarin in the wild. This result is consistent with prior reports that showed the high suscepti… Show more

“…Also by using the MAT, but in captive animals, Minervino et al (2017) found a higher occurrence (52.2%) in New World non-human primates from the Amazon region. On the other hand, no antibodies to T. gondii were found in recently captured neotropical primates from Niterói, Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil studied by Molina et al (2017). Hence, the scarcity of information on the prevalence of T. gondii in free-living primates and the use of different methods to diagnose specfic antibodies, makes it difficult to compare the results of the present study with other published studies worldwide (reviewed by Dubey, 2010).…”

“…Leontopithecus chrysomelas (Kuhl, 1820): the golden-head lion tamarin L. chrysomelas is an endemic and threatened species of the Atlantic Forest of Bahia state (Coimbra-Filho & Mittermeier 1973, Kierulff et al 2008. In the 1990s, individuals of L. chrysomelas were accidentally introduced by a private collector into an urban Atlantic Forest remnant in the state of Rio de Janeiro, where established an invasive population (Kierulff et al 2012, Molina et al 2017. Recently, some individuals of L. chrysomelas were also seen in forest fragments of Atlantic Forest in Camaragibe municipality, Pernambuco state (Rosa et al In Press).…”

“…18 Marmosets and tamarins (Callithrichidae), for instance, are the most sensitive primates to infection and, when they come into contact with the parasite, develop hyperacute clinical manifestations of the disease, with mortality of nearly 100%. 18 Therefore, the negative serologies found for callitrichids may suggest that we did not captured infected individuals either because primates that had contact with the parasite died before developing immune responses, 19 or simply because these animals did not have contact with the parasite. Marmosets and tamarins hardly ever descend to the ground, not even to drink water 20 and, therefore, are less likely to become infected with oocysts present in soil or water.…”
