“…No proven presence of cats, a proven low presence or absence of tegu lizards [19], and a high density of rodents [29] are reported for the secondary islands of the Fernando de Noronha archipelago. The absence of a single invasive species with a high predation potential, such as cats, may have allowed the higher density of T. atlantica on the secondary islands (0.357 individuals/m²), which was 119%…”

“…Currently, only the main island is occupied by humans, and the entire terrestrial area is occupied by two federal protected areas: a Marine National Park, which is an IUCN category II protected area covering 70% of the terrestrial territory, and a Protected Area designated as IUCN category V that is destined for human use, covering 30% of the terrestrial area. The estimated human population was 2.9 thousand inhabitants in 2017, with approximately 7. atlantica [19,22,26,40].…”

“…Indeed, a surprisingly high diversity of leptospiral strains and different animal reservoirs have been described in the Caribbean islands (Valverde et al, 2013), South West Indian Ocean islands (Guernier et al, 2016;Dietrich et al, 2018), and Pacific islands , thus indicating complex interactions between invasive species, native fauna and highly diversified environmental conditions. The evolutionary drivers of such diversity are poorly understood, however it is assumed that different leptospires can be introduced onto insular environments along with domestic and synanthropic species, such as rodents, cattle, goats, sheep, pigs, poultry, domestic dogs and cats (Russell et al, 2018). Such range of invasive mammals may boost the introduction of a highly variable number of leptospiral strains, which may adapt rapidly to new environments and available wildlife hosts (Desvars et al, 2013).…”
