“…Therefore, even large animals, such as muriqui ( Brachyteles ) can cross [44]. Common wild warm-blooded animals include medium to large birds, such as quail ( Odontophorus capueira ), toucans ( Ramphastos species), guans ( Penelope species and Pipile jacutinga ), tinamous ( Tinamus solicarius ), and mammals, such as howler monkeys ( Alouatta species), agoutis ( Dasyprocta leporina ), and squirrels ( Sciurus ingrami ), as described by Bernardo [45].…”

Background Plasmodium vivax is a widely distributed, neglected parasite that can cause malaria and death in tropical areas. It is associated with an estimated 80–300 million cases of malaria worldwide. Brazilian tropical rain forests encompass host- and vector-rich communities, in which two hypothetical mechanisms could play a role in the dynamics of malaria transmission. The first mechanism is the dilution effect caused by presence of wild warm-blooded animals, which can act as dead-end hosts to Plasmodium parasites. The second is diffuse mosquito vector competition, in which vector and non-vector mosquito species compete for blood feeding upon a defensive host. Considering that the World Health Organization Malaria Eradication Research Agenda calls for novel strategies to eliminate malaria transmission locally, we used mathematical modeling to assess those two mechanisms in a pristine tropical rain forest, where the primary vector is present but malaria is absent.Methodology/Principal FindingsThe Ross–Macdonald model and a biodiversity-oriented model were parameterized using newly collected data and data from the literature. The basic reproduction number () estimated employing Ross–Macdonald model indicated that malaria cases occur in the study location. However, no malaria cases have been reported since 1980. In contrast, the biodiversity-oriented model corroborated the absence of malaria transmission. In addition, the diffuse competition mechanism was negatively correlated with the risk of malaria transmission, which suggests a protective effect provided by the forest ecosystem. There is a non-linear, unimodal correlation between the mechanism of dead-end transmission of parasites and the risk of malaria transmission, suggesting a protective effect only under certain circumstances (e.g., a high abundance of wild warm-blooded animals).Conclusions/SignificanceTo achieve biological conservation and to eliminate Plasmodium parasites in human populations, the World Health Organization Malaria Eradication Research Agenda should take biodiversity issues into consideration.

“…The Parque Estadual da Ilha do Cardoso is separated from the mainland by the Ararapira Channel, which is a body of water that can be only 30 m-wide in some places and thus animals, such as muriqui Brachyteles (Ingberman et al, 2010), can go across. Commom wild warm-blooded animals are quails Odontophorus capueira, toucans Ramphastos, guans Penelope and Pipile jacutinga, tinamous Tinamus solicarius, howler monkeys Alouatta, agoutis Dasyprocta leporina, and squirrels Sciurus ingrami .…”

Ao princípio de todo o amor, ao sopro de vida e inspiração que me segue dia-a-dia, meu amado Senhor. A minha querida orientadora Dra. Kátia MPMB Ferraz, pelo apoio e suporte durante todos esses anos, obrigada por me inspirar sendo essa grande pesquisadora. Ao meu orientador Dr. Mauro Galetti, por me presentear com sua belíssima orientação, entusiasmo sem fim e ideias brilhantes. A ecologia se tornou viva para mim, pulsante e em cores de palmeiras e palmitos. A todos os meus ajudantes de campo, que doaram seu tempo, suas habilidades (incluindo a culinária), seus ensinamentos e companheirismo durante todos esses campos, debaixo de chuva, sol e mosquitos! Muito obrigada aos guias Danilo E. Ferreira (PECB), Paulo
