Roadkill is widely recognized as one of the primary negative effects roads on many wildlife species and also has socioeconomic impacts when they result in accidents. A comprehensive dataset roadkill locations essential to evaluate factors contributing risk enhance our comprehension its impact populations dimensions. We undertook a compilation records, encompassing both published unpublished data gathered from road surveys or opportunistic sources. GLOBAL ROADKILL DATA includes 208,570...
Abstract Anaplasmataceae agents are obligatory intracellular Gram-negative α-proteobacteria that transmitted mostly by arthropod vectors. Although mammals of the Superorder Xenarthra (sloths, anteaters, and armadillos) have been implicated as reservoirs for several zoonotic agents, only few studies sought to detect in this group mammals. This study aimed investigate occurrence genetic diversity Anaplasma spp. Ehrlichia blood spleen samples free-living from four different states Brazil (São...
Microsporidia are emerging, opportunistic fungi that infect a diverse population of vertebrates and invertebrates. Mammals the superorder Xenarthra can harbor transmit several pathogens, acting as important sources infection for spreading various zoonoses. have not yet been described in this group animals, aim study was to analyze occurrence zoonotic microsporidian Encephalitozoon intestinalis, Encephalitozooncuniculi Enterocytozoon bieneusi feces giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla)...
Abstract Wild mammals are susceptible to several viruses that can be transmitted humans. However, wildlife also impacted by spillover of from humans or domestic animals. Many xenarthrans vulnerable extinction, underscoring the importance monitoring potentially life-threatening for conservation efforts. This study investigated molecular presence coronaviruses, paramyxoviruses, and poxviruses in free-ranging anteaters armadillos Cerrado Pantanal biomes Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Among 236...
Wild species are susceptible to several typical domestic animal pathogens, and the increasingly close contact between these groups is a predictive factor for disease exposure. Some viruses important old-known, others emerging or reemerging carnivorans have been identified as threats conservation of wild mammals. The purpose study was investigate occurrence bocaparvoviruses (BoVs, Parvoviridae family, Parvovirinae subfamily, Bocaparvovirus genus), parvoviruses (Parvoviridae Protoparvovirus...
Although mammals of the superorder Xenarthra are considered hosts a wide range zoonotic agents, works aiming at investigating role these animals as for bacteria with potential rare. The present study aimed to investigate occurrence and molecularly characterize Coxiella burnetii haemoplasma (haemotropic mycoplasmas) DNA in blood spleen samples from 397 free-living (233 sloths, 107 anteaters 57 armadillos) five Brazilian states (Mato Grosso do Sul, São Paulo, Pará, Rondônia Rio Grande Sul)....
The superorder Xenarthra consists of sloths, anteaters and armadillos, mammals originated from South America currently distributed the south North to America. present study aimed investigate occurrence genetic diversity Bartonella spp. in blood spleen samples free-living states São Paulo (SP), Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), Rondônia (RO) Pará (PA). Based on a quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) assay, nuoG gene fragment was detected 1.51% (5/330) samples: 4 six-banded armadillos (Euphractus...
Abstract We report 24 records of giant armadillo roadkill on Brazilian highways in the Cerrado, Pantanal and Amazon biomes illustrating that are a threat to this species. However, we also documented species using underpasses, demonstrating these structures could help reduce risk for armadillos. Portuguese is available with online material
The giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) is classified as a Vulnerable species, but these animals are regularly brought into rescue centers and also kept in zoos around the world. They occupy highly specialized dietary niche with feeding ecology that difficult to replicate under human care. This can lead numerous nutrition-related health problems, including frequent cardiomyopathies. Establishing reference parameters for free-ranging an important tool assess of For this reason, cardiac...
Background The giant anteater belongs to the supraorder Xenarthra which occupies a systematically isolated position among placental mammals. species is categorized as Vulnerable by International Union for Conservation of Nature, and understanding its reproductive characteristics critical future conservation efforts. Methods Gross microscopic anatomy genital organs 23 male 21 female adult young roadkill anteaters in Brazil were studied. Results Male presented short conical penis,...
Knowledge of infectious diseases in wildlife provides important information for preventing potential outbreaks zoonotic diseases. Adiaspiromycosis is a neglected human disease caused by dimorphic Onygenales fungi. The produced the inflammatory response against growing adiaspores, leading to granulomatous pneumonia. In humans, adiaspiromycosis relevant immunosuppressed patients. animals, it associated with pneumonia fossorial species. Given role armadillos epidemiology adiaspiromycosis, this...

Using the stomach contents of 24 wild road-killed giant anteaters as proxies for their diet, we found that estimated diets were much lower in calcium (about ten times less) and phosphorus compared with manufactured feeds commonly fed to under human care. Indicators soil consumption, such ash, iron, manganese higher than either termites or diets, likely due high levels ingestion during feeding wild. Protein fat insects, contents, commercial all met carnivore recommendations. Both tamanduas...
Este trabalho tem como objetivo revisar fisiologia e anatomia reprodutiva de crocodilianos discutir sobre o manejo reprodutivo desses animais. O aproveitamento economico da carne couro principal do dessa ordem. tipo utilizacao comercial dos varia entre as especies paises. uso consumo se encaixa em tres grandes categorias: Manejo extensivo ou caca controlada populacoes selvagens, conhecido por harvesting cropping ; retirada ovos ninhos provenientes natureza posterior criacao filhotes...
The objective of the present study was to standardize an immunohistochemical reaction (IHC) for diagnosis Newcastle disease virus (NDV) in tissue samples. In order achieve this aim, pigeons (Columba livia) and chicken (Gallus gallus) were experimentally infected with a pathogenic sample NDV (São Joao do Meriti strain). IHC standardized tested samples lung, liver, spleen trachea birds, results showed that from 20 17 positive antigen immunomarking 11 spleen. detection not achieved lung...
Knowledge of reproductive health in wild southern tamanduas (Tamandua tetradactyla; Mammalia: Myrmecophagidae) is fragmentary. During necropsies roadkill xenarthran species Brazil, a case ovarian filariasis an adult female tamandua was observed. Macroscopically, both ovaries were irregularly enlarged and had numerous smooth protuberances. Histologically, the affected parenchyma presented nematodes (including females with microfilaria) surrounded by pleocellular inflammatory infiltrates. The...
Há um número crescente de estudos sobre a dieta do morcego-vampiro condizente com o aumento uso armadilhas fotográficas por pesquisadores campo. Neste estudo, relatamos evidências predando duas espécies Xenarthra: tamanduá-bandeira (Myrmecophaga tridactyla Linnaeus, 1758) juvenil sendo carregado nas costas da mãe no Pantanal Sul, e tatu-canastra (Priodontes maximus Kerr, 1792) na Mata Atlântica Minas Gerais. A alimentação diversas Desmodus rotundus (E. Geoffroy, 1810) pode favorecer...
