Anatomo-pathological aspects of parasitism by nematodes of the superfamily Metastrongyloidea in wild crab-eating fox (Cerdocyon thous) in Midwestern Brazil

Nematodes of the superfamily Metastrongyloidea affect the respiratory, cardiovascular, and nervous systems of domestic carnivores and are uncommonly detected in wild animals. This report describes the lesions associated with pulmonary parasitism by nematodes of the superfamily Metastrongyloidea in a wild crab-eating fox ( Cerdocyon thous ) in the Federal District, Brazil. Grossly, there was pulmonary hyperemia, edema, and emphysema. Microscopically, there was granulomatous arteritis associated with intravascular metastrongylid. The anatomical location, characteristic lesion, and histological features of the parasite suggested that the nematode involved in this case is Angiostrongylus vasorum . This worm is frequently reported parasitizing pulmonary arteries of domestic canids but is uncommonly described in wild canids in Midwestern Brazil.

“…These reports either describe parasite specimen from helminthological collections or found in roadkill, and thus do not provide any clinical information. Other nematode species detected in Puma yaguaroundi include Molineus felineus (Vicente et al 1997 (Vieira et al 2008), and Angiostrongylus felineus (Vieira et al 2013). As for ectoparasites, Ctenocephalides felis felis has also been previously described in this species as well as Adoratopsylla antiquorum antiquorum, Rhopalopsyllus lutzi lutzi (Pinto et al 2009), and Rhopalopsyllus saevus (Villalobos-Cuevas et al 2016).…”

Ex situ management of wildlife provides a possibility for species maintenance, research development and environmental education. But as captive facilities are usually much smaller than the area occupied by a species in the natural habitat, cleaning might be insufficient, domestic species such as cats might be in close proximity, and wild animals in captivity are inevitably stressed, animals kept in these facilities are more at risk of acquiring parasitic infections. Therefore, an appropriate prophylactic protocol and consequent anti-parasitic therapy of affected animals are fundamental for any wildlife conservation center. This report describes the procedures adopted in a conservation center for wild felines in which four adult Jaguarundis were diagnosed with severe infection with gastrointestinal parasites and flea infestation. Two animals died and based on the necropsy findings and fecal examinations, infections with Ancylostoma caninum and Toxocara cati were diagnosed, as well as severe infestations with Ctenocephalides felis felis fleas, all common parasites of domestic cats. We discuss the applied therapy and the adopted environmental management, along with the importance of regular health assessments and a preventive medicine program for this species in captivity.

“…differed from those of the Angiostrongylus species previously described. It has a longer externodorsal ray than its dorsal ray, thus differing from A. raillieti, A. felineus, A. sandarsae, A. dujardini, A. lenzii, A. siamensis and A. morerai, which have externodorsal rays that are smaller than or equivalent in length to the dorsal ray (Travassos, 1927;Alicata, 1968;Dróźdź & Doby, 1970;Ohbayashi et al, 1979;Robles et al, 2008;Souza et al, 2009;Vieira et al, 2013).…”

“…Currently, 21 species of Angiostrongylus are known the world (Maldonado et al, 2012). Species have been described parasitizing carnivores: Angiostrongylus vasorum (Baillet, 1866); A. gubernaculatus (Dougherty, 1946); A. chabaudi (Biocca, 1957); A. daskalovi (Yanchev & Genov, 1988); and A. felineus (Vieira et al, 2013). Other species have been described in rodents or occasionally in aberrant hosts (Spratt, 2015): A. taterone (Baylis, 1928); A. cantonensis (Chen, 1935); A. sciuri (Merdevenci, 1964); A. mackerrasae (Bhaibulaya, 1968); A. sandarsae (Alicata, 1968); A. petrowi (TARJYMANOVA & TSCHERTKOVA, 1969); A. dujardini (Drozdz & Doby, 1970); A. schmidti (Kinsella, 1971); A. costaricensis (Morera & Cespedes, 1970); A. malaysiensis (Bhaibulaya & Cross, 1971); Angiocaulus ryjikovi (Jushkov, 1971); A. andersoni (PETTER, 1972); A. siamensis (Ohbayashi et al, 1979); A. morerai (Robles et al, 2008); and A. lenzii (Souza et al, 2009).…”

Currently, there are 21 species of Angiostrongylus that parasitize the pulmonary or mesenteric arteries of wild and domestic rodents, felids, canids and human. Species of Angiostrongylus have cosmopolitan distribution covering tropical, subtropical and temperate regions. The procyonid Nasua nasua (coati) is a reservoir host for a wide variety of parasites that may be harmful to its populations or may contain etiological agents with zoonotic potential. In urban areas, coatis are usually found in close association with humans and domestic animals. We morphologically and molecularly characterized a new species of Angiostrongylus found in N. nasua in a protected area within Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The new species of Angiostrongylus differs from other species of the same genus in terms of the length and bifurcation level of the lateral and ventral rays, the length of spicules and female tail morphology. Molecular phylogenetic results based on the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene suggest that the newly identified species belongs to a genetic lineage that is separate from other species of Angiostrongylus. This new species was collected from the mesenteric arteries of N. nasua. It was named Angiostrongylus minasensis n. sp..
