Ocorrência e identificação de ancilostomatídeos em lobo-guará ( Chrysocyon brachyurus, Illiger, 1811) da região do Triângulo Mineiro, Minas Gerais, Brasil

Abstract

Foi realizado um estudo em 9 lobos-guará( Chrysocyon brachyurus) da região do Triangulo Mineiro, Minas Gerais, Brasil, com o objetivo de verificar a ocorrência de ovos e de formas adultas deancilostomatídeos. Foram identificados ovos dos referidos helmintos em 77,77% dos animais estudados. Duas espécies de formas adultas de ancilostomatídeos encontradas no intestino delgado foram identificadas como: Uncinaria stenocephala (Railliet, 1884) e Ancylostomacaninum (Ercolani, 1859). Relatou-se pela primeiravez, a ocorrência de U. stenocephala em C. brachyurus, no Brasil.

Parasites of domestic and wild canids in the region of Serra do Cipó National Park, Brazil

“…We believe that the eggs found in maned wolf feces belonged to A. caninum, since this is the species most usually found in dogs. This species was also previously observed in necropsy results and found in maned wolves in Minas Gerais (MUNDIM et al, 1991).…”

Parasitic nematodes of three species of wild carnivore mammals from Atlantic forest in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil

“…Four species of Uncinaria Froelich, 1789 parasitizing wild carnivores (Vieira et al, 2008) have been recorded in Brazil: Uncinaria bidens Lent &Freitas, 1938 in N. nasua, andProcyon cancrivorus (Cuvier, 1798) (Vicente et al, 1997;Vieira et al, 2008); Uncinaria maxillaris (Molin, 1861) in Procyon cancrivorus (Vicente et al, 1997;Vieira et al, 2008); Uncinaria carinii Travassos, 1915 has been recorded only once in C. thous by Travassos (1915), and U. stenocephala, species was reported initially in Europe and USA as intestinal parasite of the canids of the genus Vulpes Frisch, 1775 (Erickson, 1944;Saeed, Maddox-Hyttel, Monrad, & Kapel, 2006). In Brazil, this species was first recorded by Mundim et al (1991) parasitizing C. brachyurus in the state of Minas Gerais, as in the present study.…”
