Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet number in Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence abundance on mammal that (1) transposed geographical barrier (2) Neotropics. Our set composed 73,738 historical current georeferenced records alien which...
This study aimed to identify Leishmania species in small non-flying mammals captured semi-deciduous forest fragments of the Atlantic Forest and pastures Southwest region Bahia state, Northeast Brazil. A total 445 animals belonging 11 different were captured, majority being rodents (75.7%; 337), followed by marsupials (24.2%; 108), most prevalent Cerradomys vivoi, Calomys expulsus, Necromys Lasiurus, Marmosops incanus. Liver, spleen, kidney, heart, lung collected for subsequent molecular...
Salmonella spp. are known to persist in the environment. Wild animals believed act as important reservoirs, with antimicrobial resistance frequently occurring However, little is about role of wildlife Bahia a reservoir for Brazil. This study aimed isolate and characterize from Atlantic Forest Caatinga biomes considering indicators such animal species, degree anthropization, sampling area, feeding habits. Convenience characterization were conducted, followed by microbiological molecular...
Amblyomma varium is a neotropical tick popularly known as the sloth's giant tick, during adult stage found almost exclusively on mammals of Bradypodidae and Megalonychidae families superorder Xenarthra. The maned sloth (Bradypus torquatus) only species in danger extinction Brazil. This arboreal descends to ground perform defecation behavior. behavior can be determining factor for infestation infection by different parasitic agents, including A. varium. study reported occurrence parasitizing...
Cerradomys goytaca is a cricetid rodent endemic to “Restinga” formations from southeastern Atlantic Forest. It known only five localities, and it considered endangered of extinction. Herein, we furnish new data on C. an additional locality in Rio de Janeiro state. The present record provides habitat represents the westernmost geographic limit this poorly species.
