“…However, a few L. chrysomelas individuals have been introduced into an urban Atlantic Forest fragment in Niterói city (Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil) by a private collector in the mid-90s, being considered as an exotic invasive species in this region [16]. This invasive population have had close contact with humans and domestic animals, entering at human houses and being fed by them, increasing the risk of virus transmission in both directions [17,18,19,20]. Moreover, the few introduced animals reproduced, becoming hundreds of animals, estimated in excess of 700 in late 2015 [21], and could be a threat to the local golden lion tamarin ( Leontopithecus rosalia ), an endangered species endemic to Rio de Janeiro state, with risks of disease transmission [14,15,16], competition by habitat and hybridization [16].…”
