Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the species of felids that inhabit the Serra dos Órgãos National Park (Parnaso) and gastrointestinal parasites at various stages of their life cycles in the feces of these animals. Between 2013 and 2015, felid feces were collected from trails in Parnaso. The sampling points were georeferenced. A total of 82 fecal samples were processed, of which 79 were collected on the ground, two from captured felids and one from a necropsied animal. All samples underwent coproparasitological … Show more

“…This information would seem to suggest that the eggs came from G. paralysans, as reported by Rivero et al (2011). Unfortunately, the fact is that the lungs of domestic and wild felines may harbor other nematodes, such as A. abstrusus (Ferreira da Silva et al, 2005;Traversa et al, 2014), and that these felines may have concomitant parasite infections (Dib et al, 2018). What we can state unequivocally is that no adult parasites were present in bronchi or bronchioles, a common finding in A. abstrusus infection.…”

“…In this study, host species were not identified through trichological analysis in most of the samples. As pointed out at Serra dos Órgãos National Park, one of the limitations in mammalian identification through trichology is that faeces often presents many hairs, but not all are guard hairs [16]. In addition, some guard hair had deteriorated, making it impossible to assess their cuticles.…”

“…Lower overall frequencies have been reported in other studies, varying from 58 to 74.7% for feline faeces from reserves and forests in Mexico [18][19][20], 75% for feline and artiodactyl faeces from a reserve in Bolivia [21], 53.3% for faeces from canids, felids, mustelids and procyonids collected in a reserve in Minas Gerais, Brazil [22], and 70% for feline faeces found in a reserve in Espírito Santo, Brazil [23]. In contrast, the frequency of parasites detected in faeces from Serra dos Órgãos National Park was 86.6%, which was slightly higher than that observed in Itatiaia National Park [16]. The high frequency of gastrointestinal parasites detected may have occurred since these animals live in natural environments that are rich in abiotic and biotic factors that promote infection through contact with contaminated soil, water, food and infected prey.…”

“…These results demonstrate that Serra dos Órgãos National Park presents all the elements necessary for maintenance of the biological cycles of different parasites, including those with complex biological cycles that include different types of hosts. Moreover, the laboratory diagnoses on the fecal samples enabled indirect partial analysis on the park ecosystem, being these stages of the parasites usually detected in free-living wild animals' samples, such as felids [42].…”
