“…Studies conducted in Brazil show that some crab--eating foxes are positively reactive to several serovars of Leptospira spp., as observed in this study as well as by Souza-Júnior, Lobato & Lobato (2006) and Jorge (2008). The serovars Autumnalis, Copenhageni, and Grippotyphosa, found in crab-eating foxes in this research have also been reported in earlier studies (Esteves et al 2005, Jorge 2008, Pimentel et al 2009).…”

“…in wild canids such as maned wolves and crab--eating foxes indicate a high frequency of infection in these animals. This applies to both free-ranging (Jorge 2008) and captive animals (Esteves et al 2005). In free-ranging canids, this infection may be attributed to their territorial and dietary habits.…”

“…(Jorge 2008). Moreover, except for the hoary fox, crab-eating foxes and maned wolves have diets based on fruits and small mammals such as rodents and small marsupials (Jácomo et al 2004, Ferreira-Silva & Lima 2006, Dalponte 2009), which are the most important reservoirs of the pathogen (Faine et al 1999).…”

“…There are reports of maned wolves suffering from distemper (Maia & Gouveia 2002), crab-eating foxes (Cerdocyon thous), maned wolves, and hoary foxes (Lycalopex vetulus) affected by parvovirus (Mann et al 1980, Curi 2005, Jorge 2008, Maldonado 2009), leishmaniasis in crab-eating foxes (Courtenay et al 1996, Courtenay 2002, and reports of maned wolves seropositive for Toxoplasma gondii (Proença 2007). In addition, the crab-eating fox has been implicated as the main reservoir of rabies virus among wild canid species in northeast Brazil (Carnieli et al 2008).…”

Occurrence of antibodies against Leptospira spp. In free-ranging wild canids from the Brazilian savanna

et al. 2015

The Brazilian savanna, also known as Cerrado, is one of the world's richest and most ecologically invaluable tropical savanna regions. There are few studies in Brazil about the diseases that affect the wild canids of this biome, which may be harmful to wildlife populations and public health. The aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of antibodies against Leptospira spp. in three Cerrado wild canids species using the microscopic agglutination test (MAT). Serum samples were tested from 19 crab-eating foxes (Cerdocyon thous), 14 maned wolves (Chrysocyon brachyurus), and seven hoary foxes (Lycalopex vetulus), all free-ranging animals found in the municipalities of Araguari and Uberlândia, Minas Gerais State, and Cumari, Goiás State, Brazil. Fourteen (35%) of these samples were seropositive. The most frequent serovars detected in the samples were Copenhageni and Hardjo, but reactions to the serovars Autumnalis, Grippotyphosa, Hebdomadis, Wolffi, and Icterohaemorrhagiae also occurred. Notwithstanding other reported results, this study is the first to report the presence of antibodies against Leptospira spp. in L. vetulus. The three species of wild canids examined may act as potential hosts for several serovars of leptospira in Brazil's savanna environment.

“…The main causes of mortality of these animals are roadkill on highways (Vieira, 1996;Rios et al, 2008;Lemos et al, 2011), contagion by diseases of domestic animals, especially diseases of dogs (Deem et al, 2001;Whiteman, 2007;Jorge, 2008) and poisoning (Lemos et al, 2011). Even, these animals are being hunted for possible attacks to small animals in farms (Dotto et al, 2001;Lemos et al, 2011).…”

In this study, the spinal nerves that constitute the lumbosacral plexus (LSP) were dissected in two species of South American wild canids (pampas fox-Pseudalopex gymnocercus, and crab-eating fox-Cerdocyon thous). The nerves origin and distribution in the pelvic limb were examined and compared with the LSP model of the dog described in the literature. The LSP was formed by whole ventral branches of L5 at L7 and S1, and a contribution of a one branch from S2, divided in three trunks. The trunk formed by union from L5-6 and S1 was divided into the cranial (cutaneus femoris lateralis nerve) medial (femoralis nerve) and lateral branches (obturatorius nerve). At the caudal part of the plexus, a thick branch, the ischiadicus plexus, was formed by contributions from L6-7 and S1-2. This root gives rise to the nerve branches which was disseminated to the pelvic limb (nerves gluteus cranial and gluteus caudal, cutaneus femoris caudalis and ischiadicus). The ischiadicus nerve was divided into fibularis communis and tibialis nerves. The tibialis nerve emits the cutaneus surae caudalis. The fibularis communis emits the cutaneus surae lateralis, fibularis superficialis and fibularis profundus. The pudendus nerve arises from S2 with contributions of one branch L7-S1 and one ramus of the cutaneus femoris lateralis. Still, one branch of S2 joins with S3 to form the rectales caudales nerve. These data provides an important anatomical knowledge of a two canid species of South American fauna, besides providing the effective surgical and clinical care of these animals.

Exposure of Free-Ranging Wild Carnivores and Domestic Dogs to Canine Distemper Virus and Parvovirus in the Cerrado of Central Brazil

et al. 2016

Human population growth around protected areas increases the contact between wild and domestic animals, promoting disease transmission between them. This study investigates the exposure of free-ranging wild carnivores and domestic dogs to canine distemper virus (CDV) and parvovirus in Emas National Park (ENP) in the Cerrado savanna of central Brazil. Serum samples were collected from 169 wild carnivores, including the maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus), crab-eating fox (Cerdocyon thous), hoary fox (Pseudalopex vetulus), puma (Puma concolor), ocelot (Leopardus pardalis), pampas cat (Leopardus colocolo), jaguarundi (Herpailurus yagouaroundi), striped hog-nosed skunk (Conepatus semistriatus) and coati (Nasua nasua), and from 35 domestic dogs living on rural properties bordering ENP. Serological tests showed that 10.6% of wild carnivores (maned wolves, crab-eating foxes and ocelots) and 71.4% of domestic dogs were exposed to CDV, and 56.8% of wild carnivores, including all species sampled except coatis, and 57.1% of domestic dogs were exposed to parvovirus. This report is the first to indicate that the free-ranging pampas cat, jaguarundi and striped hog-nosed skunk are exposed to parvovirus. CDV and parvovirus deserve attention in ENP, and it is extremely important to monitor the health of carnivore populations and perform molecular diagnosis of the viruses to determine the possible involvement of the domestic dog in their transmission.
