A serological survey in free-ranging crab-eating foxes (Canidae: Cerdocyon thous) and brown-nosed coatis (Procyonidae: Nasua nasua) was performed in the Nhecolândia sub-region of the Brazilian Pantanal to evaluate the presence of anti-smooth Brucella antibodies on those wild populations. The detection of anti-smooth Brucella antibodies was performed by the Rose Bengal Test (RBT) as screening test and the Fluorescence Polarization Assay (FPA) as a confirmatory test. The frequency of smooth Brucella seropositive animals were 13.2% (5/38, 95% CI: 4.4% - 28.1%) for crab-eating foxes and 8.8% (3/34, 95% CI: 1.9% -23.7%) for brown-nosed coatis. No association was found between seropositivity for brucellosis and gender or age. The results of this study suggest exposure to or infection of crab-eating fox and brown-nosed coati from the Brazilian Pantanal by Brucella spp

Abstract Host infection by parasites is influenced by an array of factors, including host and environmental features. We investigated the relationship between host sex, body size and age, as well as seasonality on infection patterns by acanthocephalan in coatis (Procyonidae: Nasua nasua) and in crab-eating foxes (Canidae: Cerdocyon thous ) from the Brazilian Pantanal wetlands. Between 2006 and 2009, we collected faecal samples from these hosts and analyzed for the presence of acanthocephalan eggs. Prevalence, abundance and intensity of eggs of acanthocephalans were calculated. Egg abundance was analyzed using generalized linear models (GLM) with a negative binomial distribution and models were compared by Akaike criteria to verify the effect of biotic and abiotic factors. Prevalence of acanthocephalans was higher in the wet season in both host species but did not differ between host sexes; however, adult crab-eating foxes showed higher prevalence of acanthocephalan eggs than juveniles. In contrast, prevalence of acanthocephalan eggs found in coatis was higher in coati juveniles than in adults. Host age, season and maximum temperature were the top predictors of abundance of acanthocephalan eggs in crab-eating foxes whereas season and host sex were predictors of egg abundance in coatis. The importance of seasonality for abundance of acanthocephalan was clear for both host species. The influence of host-related attributes, however, varied by host species, with host gender and host age being important factors associated with prevalence and parasite loads.

SUMMARYAnaplasmataceae agents comprise obligate intracellular bacteria that can cause disease in humans and animals. Between August 2013 and March 2015, 31Nasua nasua(coati), 78Cerdocyon thous(crab-eating fox), sevenLeopardus pardalis(ocelot), 110 wild rodents, 30 marsupials, and 42 dogs were sampled in the Pantanal wetland, Brazil. In addition, ectoparasites found parasitizing the animals were collected and identified. The present work aimed to investigate the occurrence of Anaplasmataceae agents in wild mammals, domestic dogs and ectoparasites, by molecular and serological techniques. Overall, 14 (17·9%)C. thous, seven (16·6%) dogs and one (3·2%)N. nasuawere seroreactive toEhrlichia canis. Nine dogs, twoC. thous,oneN. nasua, eight wild rodents, five marsupials, eightAmblyomma sculptum,fourAmblyomma parvum,13A. sculptumnymphal pools, twoAmblyommalarvae pools and onePolygenis (Polygenis) bohlsi bohlsiflea pool were positive forEhrlichiaspp. closely related toE. canis. SevenN. nasua, two dogs, oneC. thous,oneL. pardalis, four wild rodents, three marsupials, 15A. sculptum, twoAmblyomma ovale,twoA. parvumand oneAmblyommaspp. larval pools were positive forAnaplasmaspp. closely related toA. phagocytophilumorA. bovis. The present study provided evidence that wild animals from Brazilian Pantanal are exposed to Anaplasmataceae agents.

O Cerrado é o segundo maior bioma da América do Sul apresentando 5% da biodiversidade mundial e também é o segundo bioma brasileiro que mais sofreu ações antrópicas. Embora o Cerrado tenha a sua importância biológica reconhecida apenas 8,21% do seu território é protegido a partir de unidades de conservação (UC’s). As UC’s do Cerrado são de extrema importância para a preservação da biodiversidade desse bioma, em especial para a proteção da mastofauna de médio e grande porte, visto que os mamíferos são bastantes afetados pela degradação e fragmentação dos habitats naturais. Foi realizado o monitoramento de médios e grandes mamíferos na Estação Ecológica Águas Emendadas (ESEC-AE) e a partir dos registros obtidos foi elaborado o relatório qualitativo. O monitoramento foi realizado da segunda quinzena de Setembro de 2017 à segunda quinzena de Janeiro de 2018 com o auxílio de armadilhas fotográficas. Nesse período foram identificadas nove espécies de mamíferos distribuídas em quatro ordens: Artiodactyla, Carnivora, Perissodactyla e Rodentia. As espécies registradas foram: Cerdocyon thous, Chrysocyon brachyurus, Cuniculus paca, Dasyprocta azarae, Mazama spp, Nasua nasua, Puma concolor, Puma yagouaroundi e Tapirus terrestris. Das espécies de mamíferos detectadas, 44,44% são frugívoras e quatro encontram-se na Lista Nacional Oficial de Espécies da Fauna Ameaçadas de Extinção segundo a Portaria MMA 444/2014 – Chrysocyon brachyurus, Puma concolor, Puma yagouroundi e Tapirus terrestris. Os resultados obtidos reforçam a importância das UC’s para a conservação da fauna do Cerrado, uma vez que nesses sítios são encontrados exemplares ameaçados da mastofauna desse bioma, bem como demonstrou a eficiência do uso de armadilhas fotográficas para o monitoramento de mamíferos

A preservação ambiental é de extrema importância para manter o equilíbrio ambiental no planeta. As unidades de conservação (UC) foram criadas no intuito de preservar o meio ambiente em diversas regiões. O Parque Nacional Serra dos Órgãos (PARNASO) é uma UC que abriga grande parte da flora e da fauna da Mata Atlântica brasileira, tornando-o uma importante unidade para a preservação da natureza. O PARNASO está situado no estado do Rio de Janeiro, nos municípios de Teresópolis, Petrópolis, Guapimirim e Magé, tendo uma área aproximada de 20.024 hectares. Apresenta clima mesotérmico brando superúmido com temperatura média anual variando de 13° a 23°C, relevo escarpado com grande variação de altitude. No parque nascem diversos rios como: Soberbo, Bananal, Sossego, Inhomirim, Magé, Santo Aleixo, Inconha e Corujas. O parque abriga diversas espécies animais e vegetais e neste artigo estão listadas e caracterizadas 6 espécies do reino Plantae e 6 espécies do reino Animalia são elas: Adenocalymma comosum, Chorisias speciosa, Buddleja stachyoides, Phalaenopsis hybridus, Tillandsia cyane, Euterpe edulis, Nasua nasua, Procyon cancrivorus, Cerdocyon thous, Brachyteles arachnoides, Alouatta guariba, Cebus nigritus.
