Relações parasito-hospedeiro de endo e ectoparasitas em pequenos mamíferos em um cerrado do Brasil Central

Abstract

Dedico este trabalho para aqueles que doaram a sua vida para que pudéssemos compreendê-los melhor.Ilustração: Calomys tener by POMB iv AGRADECIMENTOSAgradecer sempre foi uma filosofia muito forte lá em casa. Nem por isso torna esta tarefa mais fácil. Pelo contrário, o imenso sentimento de gratidão vai muito além do que pode ser expresso por aqui. Primeiramente tenho que agradecer a minha mãe.Minha referência de mulher, profissional e ser humano. O apoio incondicional desde que resolvi sair do armário profissional e assumir que prefiro a bota e perneira ao jaleco branco, limpo e bordado, foi fundamental para que eu conseguisse realizar esta tarefa.

Morphological and genetic characterization ofPterygodermatites(Paucipectines)zygodontomis(Nematoda: Rictulariidae) fromNecromys lasiurus(Rodentia: Sigmodontinae) from Uberlândia, Brazil

“…To date, P. (P.) zygodontomis has been described as a parasite of N. lasiurus, sharing morphological characteristics such as the number of spine-like prevulvar cuticular projections and fans, in males, and unequal spicules. However, female specimens examined in this study and by Grossmann (2015) were smaller in body length than those found by Quentin (1967). Among the characteristics used to identify the species, we noted that the distance from the last spine-like cuticular projection to the tip of the tail in females was smaller than the distance observed by Quentin (1967), and the distance from the vulva to the oesophago-intestinal region was also smaller in the present study.…”

Metacommunity Structure of Helminths of Necromys Lasiurus (Rodentia: Sigmodontinae) in Different Land Use Areas in the Brazilian Cerrado

“…Stilestrongylus freitasi also presented a high prevalence in N. lasiurus in the study by Grossmann (2015), but intensity and prevalence were lower. Sim˜oes et al (2017) reported St. freitasi in the Caatinga biome infecting N. lasiurus and Thrichomys laurentius in the State of Para´ıba.…”

“…alata and St. freitasi. Syphacia alata, which is presumed to have a monoxenous life cycle as the other congeners (Taffs, 1976), and was one of the most dominant species in the helminth community, presented higher prevalence, abundance, and intensity than those found by Grossmann (2015). The dry winter season may favor an increase in the transmission of Sy.…”

“…zygodontomis, and Pr. numidica criceticola (Quentin, 1967(Quentin, , 1968Durette-Desset, 1968;Quentin et al, 1968;Grossmann, 2015). The only other study of the helminth fauna of N. lasiurus in the Cerrado biome, carried out in Planaltina, Federal District, Brazil (Grossmann, 2015) also reported 8 species (St. freitasi, Sy.…”

“…There has been only one study published on the helminth fauna of N. lasiurus so far (Grossmann, 2015), carried out in the Brazilian Cerrado, which is the most important biome where this rodent occurs (Bonvicino et al, 2008). In addition, Cerrado is the Brazilian biome that is currently suffering the highest degree of environmental degradation.…”
