“…There are reports of human infection with Hymenolepis spp. and T. spiralis in Chile ( 26 , 75 ), but we did not find reports of human infection with C. hepaticum in this country. Other helminths, such as Hydatigera taeniaeformis, Syphacia obvelata, Syphacia muris , and Trichuris muris , have been rarely reported in humans ( 76 – 80 ) and they have not been reported in humans in Chile.…”

Invasive populations are a threat to biodiversity, resulting in the loss of species, and also a threat to human health, participating in the reservoir of diseases. Rodents are among the most important invasive species worldwide. Chile is a country that features island conditions in terms of geography and has been widely invaded by allochthonous rodents. In this mini-review, we updated the literature on macro-parasites infecting both native and invasive rodents and of vector-borne pathogens in continental Chile in order to assess the relative importance of invasive rodents from both ecological and public health points of view. A total of 174 parasite species were found, with Siphonaptera representing the most diverse group. When examining how parasites are shared between native and introduced rodents, the analysis suggests that parasites circulate freely within recipient populations, and are not significantly transmitted from source populations. Further, generalist parasites are typically more prone to being shared between native and introduced rodents. Most zoonotic parasites were reported in invasive rodents, suggesting that these rodents must represent a public health concern. Although several vector-borne pathogens have been reported in rodents or ectoparasites, most of the recently emerging research has illustrated that there is a lack of evidence on rodent–vector-borne zoonoses in most pathogens.

“…It is also considered to be a re-emergent infection since epidemiological and biological research on its life cycle in the wild life have led to the description of new species in various regions with new patterns of transmission, which increase the risk of human infection from consumption of the meat of wild animals (for example in Canada, United States, Russia, and Lithuania), or domestic animals such as the horse (in France and Italy) or dog (in China) (Fayer 2000, Pozio 2001). Decrease in human and porcine manifestation of this infection is reported in Chile between 1991 and 2000 (Schenone et al 2002). Trichinosis has not been previously reported from wildlife in South American countries except for Argentina (Neghme & Schenone 1970).…”

“…In Chile, the domestic cycle is fairly well-studied [22,23], but the sylvatic cycle is mostly unknown. Trichinella spiralis is the sole species that has been reported in Chile with few larvae identi ed to the species level [23,24,25]. Cougars and wild boars are the sole reported wild/feral host species reported [24,25], and, in addition to those reports, other studies did not nd infected animals [26,27,28].…”

Background: Trichinellosis is a worldwide distributed disease caused by Trichinella species and also considered neglected and emerging. Trichinella spp. are transmitted by predation or carrion consumption and present a domestic and a sylvatic cycle. Human trichinellosis occurs due to the consumption of raw or poorly cooked infected meat, mainly associated with the household slaughter of pigs without veterinary inspection, a cultural practice that is difficult to resolve. Therefore, the knowledge of the reservoir of this parasite is relevant. Methods: The aim of this study was to assess the presence of Trichinella sp. in several carnivore and omnivore vertebrates in Central-Southern Chile. A total of 61 animals, either found run over or that died in rescue/rehabilitation centers, encompassing 15 species, were examined by artificial digestion for detection of Trichinella larvae, and larvae were molecularly analyzed to identify the species. Results: Trichinella larvae were found in a Leopardus guigna and a Galictis cuja. Only those of L. guigna could be identified as Trichinella spiralis. Conclusions: This is the first record of Trichinella in a native mustelid of South America and the first record of T. spiralis in L. guigna. These results increase the number of hosts, enhancing the need to identify the role of these animals in the reservoir for humans, and highlighting the priority that the study of the rural-sylvatic interphase represents.
