In developing countries, outbreaks of zoonotic diseases (ZDs) result from intertwined ecological, socioeconomic, and demographic processes that shape conditions for (i) increased contact between vulnerable human population wildlife in areas undergoing environmental degradation (ii) the rapid geographic spread infections across socially regions. Brazil, recent increases social vulnerabilities, amplified by economic political crises, are potential triggers outbreaks. We discuss Brazilian...
The role of bats as reservoirs zoonotic agents, especially pathogenic bacteria such Bartonella and Coxiella, has been discussed around the world. Recent studies have identified potential hosts species from proteobacteria phylum. In Brazil, however, in natural cycle these agents is poorly investigated generally neglected. order to analyze participation epidemiology diseases caused by Bartonella, Rickettsia, Anaplasma Ehrlichia, we conducted a descriptive epidemiological study three...
Ametrida centurio Gray, 1847 is a small fruit-eating bat endemic to the Neotropics. In Brazil, its known distribution limited Amazon basin. We report first record of A. in Atlantic Forest and extend approximately 1,500 km from previously easternmost locality. The was made Guaribas Biological Reserve, located state Paraíba, northeastern Brazil. intended evaluate whether this accidental or might correspond an emerging pattern for northeastern Brazil’s canopy.
Bat-borne hantaviruses have been identified worldwide but little is known about neotropical bats in the megadiverse biomes of American continent. Although serological evidence has hinted at hantavirus circulation Brazil, scarce number genomic detection represents a gap to understand viral diversity, prevalence, and ecology bat-borne hantaviruses.
Bats are infected with several trypanosomatid species; however, assessing the diversity of this interaction remains challenging since there species apparently unable to grow in conventional culture media. Accordingly, ecology and biology Molecular Operational Taxonomic Units (MOTUs) Trypanosoma spp. Neobats unknown. Therefore, we performed molecular characterization targeting 18S small subunit rDNA from blood clot 280 bats three Brazilian regions (Paraíba, Rio de Janeiro Acre states),...
A lista mais recente dos mamíferos que ocorrem no Parque Nacional da Serra Órgãos (PARNASO), com 79 registros, consta seu segundo Plano de Manejo, publicado em 2008. O presente estudo teve como objetivo atualizar a espécies do PARNASO, inserindo novos registros obtidos através dados primários e revisão bibliográfica, considerando o período 2002 2018. Manejo resultou 75 válidos. Destes, três foram consideradas localmente extintas ( Panthera onca , Tayassu pecari Tapirus terrestris ) não...
The nematode genus Bidigiticauda has 2 species (Bidigiticauda vivipara and embryophilum), which are parasites of bats from the Neotropical region. present paper describes a new male Artibeus planirostris specimen collected in Pratigi Environmental Protection Area Bahia state, Brazil. species, serrafreirei n. sp., differs B. embryophilum by having longer spicules, rays 5 6 arising common trunk bifurcating its first third, 3 4 emerging slightly separated each other, dorsal reaching margin...

Hantaviruses are zoonotic pathogens associated with severe human diseases such as hemorrhagic fever renal syndrome and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. Despite the extensive study of rodent-borne hantaviruses, research on bat-associated hantaviruses remains limited. This aimed to investigate seroprevalence cross-reactivity neotropical bat samples rodent- recombinant nucleoproteins (rNPs) improve surveillance in Brazilian Atlantic Forest. The studied population consisted 336 blood collected...
This study presents the first record of Trinycteris nicefori Sanborn, 1949 from Brazilian state Pernambuco. The specimens were collected in municipalities Recife and São Lourenço da Mata fragments Atlantic Forest. Three females collected. measurements coloration pattern these are consistent with diagnosis species. establishes a new limit for known distribution T. Brazil, extending this range approximately 450 km to most northeastern part
Objetivou-se descrever ações das Vigilâncias Epidemiológica e Ambiental da Prefeitura do Recife, mediante caso de raiva humana. A metodologia empregada foi a descrição intervenções baseadas em roteiro Ministério Saúde. Em 26/06/2017, notificado suspeito mulher 35 anos, ativista causa animal, agredida por gato rua, não vacinado 26/04/2017. pesquisa saliva folículo piloso confirmou infecção pelo vírus rábico 30/06/2017 paciente evoluiu para óbito. Foi identificada variante antigênica AgV3,...
Abstract Vision in echolocating bats works complementary to their echolocation signals and is especially important long-range orientation. Contrary previous predictions, we report here the first case of blindness ocular anomalies healthy adult bats. Two anomalous individuals Carollia perspicillata , two Artibeus planirostris one lituratus were captured highly human-modified areas (urban agricultural). One C. was totally blind exhibiting completely closed eyelids others presented strong...
Diversas espécies de mamíferos no Brasil já foram diagnosticadas com o vírus da raiva dentre animais companhia, criação e silvestres. Entre os quirópteros destaca-se hematófago Desmodus rotundus, entretanto, registro positivos não se restringe a essa guilda alimentar. Diante disso, esse trabalho tem como objetivo descrever casos morcegos hematófagos para município São José do Egito, localizado semiárido Pernambucano. Foi realizada uma análise registros dados amostras enviadas rábica pela...
