“…The host range has also extended to rodents, with reports of infection of capybaras ( Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris ) in Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay (Freyre et al , 1979; Santarem et al , 2006; El-Kouba et al , 2008; Alvarez et al , 2009; Cañizales & Guerrero, 2013; Fugassa, 2015), but the status of this species is still largely unknown. A more consistent role as reservoir could be assigned to the coypu ( Myocastor coypus ) (Silva-Santos et al , 1992; Ménard et al , 2001; Issia et al , 2009; Gayo et al , 2011; Fugassa, 2015).…”
