Paracoccidioidomycosis in wild monkeys from Paraná State, Brazil

Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the seroprevalence of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis infection in wild New World monkeys (Cebus sp. and Alouatta caraya). A total of 93 animals (Cebus sp., n = 68 and Alouatta caraya, n = 25) were captured in the Paraná River basin, Paraná State, Brazil and the serum samples were analyzed by ELISA and immunodiffusion using P. brasiliensis gp43 and exoantigen as antigens, respectively. The seropositivity observed by ELISA was 44.1% and 60% for Cebus sp. and A. caraya, respec… Show more

“…No signiϐicant difference was observed in relation to sex as observed in other seroepidemiological studies carried out by our group to evaluate paracoccidioiomycosis infection in dogs, monkeys and chickens (Ono et al 2001, Silveira et al 2006, Corte et al 2007, Oliveira et al 2011.…”

“…Epidemiological studies have shown that paracoccidioidomycosis occurs in several species of domestic and wild animals such as dogs (Mós & Fava-Netto 1974, Ono et al 2001, Silveira et al 2006, Canteros et al 2010, Fontana et al 2010, cows (Silveira et al 2008), horses (Conti Diaz et al 1972, Costa & Fava-Netto 1978, Corte et al 2009), armadillos (Fernandes et al 2004), sheep (Costa & Fava-Netto 1978, Oliveira et al 2011, monkeys (Corte et al 2007), guinea pigs, raccoons, grisons, porcupine (Richini-Pereira et al 2008) and chickens (Gonçalves et al 2011). The fungus was also isolated from armadillos (Naiff et al 1986, Bagagli et al 1998, Corredor et al 1999, Silva-Vergara et al 2000 penguin faeces (Gezuele 1989), and recently, natural paracoccidioidomycosis was reported in two dogs (Ricci et al 2004, Farias et al 2011), a cat (Gonzalez et al 2010) and a two-toed sloth (Trejo-Chávez et al 2010).…”

“…Recentemente esta técnica passou a ser utilizada também em estudos epidemiológicos de paracoccidioidomicose em humanos (BOTTEON et al, 2002), cães (ONO et al, 2001;SILVEIRA et al, 2006), macacos (CORTE et al, 2007) e bovinos (SILVEIRA et al, 2008).…”

“…Também não foi observada diferença significativa em relação à faixa etária (Tabela 1). Em estudo soroepidemiológico de paracoccidiodiomicose em cães e macacos também não foram observadas diferenças de freqüência entre os sexos (CORTE et al, 2007;ONO et al, 2001;SILVEIRA et al, 2006). Há relatos de desenvolvimento de blastomicose, causada pelo fungo Blastomyces dermatitidis, em cavalos da América do Norte (TORIBIO et al, 1999;WILSON et al, 2006).…”
