“…It is an omnivorous predator showing an opportunistic behavior, as dietary items vary according to seasonal availability and geographic location (Farias & Kittlein, 2008). There are reports on heminths infecting L. gymnocercus (Blood & Lelijveld, 1969;Szidat, 1971;Schmidt & Martin, 1978;Martínez, 1985;Martínez et al, 2000Martínez et al, , 2005Rigonatto et al, 2000;Lucherini et al, 2004;Fuchs et al, 2006;Fiorello et al, 2006;Ruas et al, 2003Ruas et al, , 2008Scioscia et al, 2013;Scioscia et al, 2014), but none confi rmed the presence of adults or eggs of the genus Pterygodermatites. Here we report the fi rst fi nding of Pterygodermatites (M) affi nis in Argentina and add L. gymnocercus as new defi nitive host of this nematode species, providing a prevalence estimate for rural areas of southern Buenos Aires province, Argentina.…”

An initial coprological survey of parasitic fauna in the wild Amur leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis)

The Amur leopard, one of nine recently recognized subspecies of leopard, is still the most threatened by a stochastic procession of extinction. Evaluation of the potential danger to the conservation of the Amur leopard originating from disease urgently needs to be studied. Unfortunately, research on the potential risk to Amur leopards caused by disease is rare. In terms of parasitic diseases that affect this species, even basic data for parasitic fauna are absent. The aim of this study is to acquire this knowledge to improve the general understanding of Amur leopard parasites. Seven parasite species, including 3 nematodes (Toxocara cati, a capillarid‐type parasite, and a Metastrongyloidea‐type parasite), 2 cestodes (Spirometra sp. and Taenia sp.), 1 trematode (Paragonimus sp.), and 1 protozoan (Cystoisospora felis), were found in this research. Toxocara cati occurred most frequently, followed by Spirometra sp.

As far as the wild felines were concerned, the Panthera leo [28], Lynx lynx [24], leopardus pardalis [26], Lynx rufus, Oncifelis guigna, Puma concolor, Panthera onca, [27] and Panthera tigris [11] deer, which contains juvenile worms [35] [36] [37]. The latter route seems to be more important in Amur leopard, as it always take the wild boar, sika deer and roe deer as food other than crustaceans [7].…”

Background：The Amur leopard, one of nine recently recognized subspecies of leopard, is still most threatened in a stochastic procession of extinction. The potential harmless to the conservation of the Amur leopard originating from the disease is in need of urgent attention. Unfortunately, the research on the potential risk to Amur leopard caused by disease is rare. When the parasites were concerned, even the elementary data, such as parasitic fauna, are absent. Our aim in the study is to accumulate the knowledge of it for a better comprehension. Results: There are 7 parasite species, including 3 nematodes (Toxocara cati, capillarid-type parasite, and Metastrongyloidea-type parasite), 2 cestodes (Spirometra sp. and Taenia sp.), 1 trematode (Paragonimus sp.), and 1 protozoa (Cystoisospora felis), were found in this research. The Toxocara cati was highest frequent occurrence, followed by Spirometra sp. Conclusion: The Amur leopard was infected by seven parasites firstly reported.
