“…The absence of skin alterations and lesions in this case, unlike those described in some reports (Bodini Santiago & Fernandes Oliveira, 2001;MWSSP, 2007), could be associated to a balanced and supplemented diet and environmental hygiene (Rodden et al, 2012;Marchegiani et al, 2020), which can also relate to the absence of fungal spores or ectoparasites that are mentioned in other reports (Arrais et al, 2021;Cansi et al, 2012;Fiori et al, 2023;Gilioli & Silva, 2000;Luque et al, 2014;Maia & Gouveia, 2002;Pereira et al, 2018). Daily cleaning of the enclosure and removal of faeces and leftover food items reduces the proliferation of vectors and other potentially pathogenic microorganisms (Rodden et al, 2012).…”

The maned wolf, Chrysocyon brachyurus, is the largest South American canid, with a natural distribution that stretches across Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. The present study reports the case of a rescued specimen of maned wolf that underwent a rehabilitation process in Paraguay, starting in October 2020 with its rescue, and finalising in May 2021 with the reintroduction. Herein, we document findings regarding the general management, biometrics, feeding and environmental enrichment; chemical immobilisation and monitoring; haematology, blood biochemistry and specific serology‐relevant pathogens; skin examination and bone marrow cytology; orthopaedic, ophthalmological and dental evaluation; abdominal and cardiac ultrasonography; radiology and copro‐parasitology. Main findings include the feeding habits of the individual and enrichment opportunities. The animal weighed 7 kg on arrival, with an estimated age of 5 months, and 18 kg on reintroduction, with an estimated age of 1 year. The animal tested negative to serologic tests for Brucella canis, Dirofilaria, canine distemper, Toxoplasmosis and canine parvovirus. Leptospira testing showed antibodies against L. grippotyphosa on both samplings, L. wolffi and L. ictero on the first sampling, and L. pomona on the second sampling. Abdominal organs were examined and measured through ultrasound evaluation and kidneys showed no alterations. Echocardiography showed preserved mitral, tricuspid and aortic valve flows, but turbulent pulmonary valve flow. Copro‐parasitology reported the presence of Lagochilascaris sp. and Balantidium sp. All the information gathered aided in diagnosing the health status of the individual, and the response to environmental enrichment helped assess the behaviour, which led to the suggestion of reintroducing the animal. These data constitute the first published health check of a maned wolf in Paraguay, which can contribute to the species’ conservation in the country. The protocol presented in this study can serve as a basis for developing an action plan for the maned wolf in Paraguay.

Spirocerca lupi granulomatous pneumonia in two free-ranging maned wolves (Chrysocyon brachyurus) from central Brazil

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The current report describes granulomatous pneumonia due to Spirocerca lupi in 2 free-ranging maned wolves ( Chrysocyon brachyurus). Both wolves had multiple, white, 1–1.5 cm in diameter, soft, encapsulated granulomas in the caudal lung lobes, which contained centrally placed parasites on cut sections. Microscopically, there was granulomatous inflammation with numerous intralesional sections of spirurid nematodes. Representative complete adult specimens of nematodes derived from these lesions were submitted for parasitological exam and identified as the spirurid S. lupi. To the authors’ knowledge, there have been no published reports of S. lupi in maned wolves.

“…Varias especies silvestres son hospedadoras de D. renale, siendo un hallazgo muy frecuente en aguará guazú (Chrysocyon brachyurus) (Illiger 1815) en Brasil (Matera et al 1968;Carneiro et al 1974;Buschinelli 1991;Bevilaqua et al 1993;Leite et al 1994;Diniz et al 1999;Varzone et al 2008;Braga et al 2010;Cansi et al 2012;Duarte et al 2013), Paraguay (Pallares & Valese 1970;Kumar et al 1972) y Bolivia (Deem & Emmons 2005;Emmons 2012). Los registros en Argentina también son frecuentes (Grosso et al 1944a y b;Lamina & Brack 1966;Becacceci 1990;Estévez et al 1993;Mussart et al 2003;Soler et al 2005Soler et al , 2006Pautasso & Fandiño 2008;Ruiz et al 2010;González et al 2013;Ruiz et al 2018;Rigonatto et al 2019), pero en su mayor parte tienen una antigüedad de más de 10 años.…”
