Endoparasites of Selected Native Non-Domesticated Mammals in the Neotropics (New World Tropics)

摘要

In this review, information was summarized on endoparasites found in six non-domesticated neotropical animals. These mammals have the potential to be domesticated. The animals included three rodents, agouti ( ), lappe ( ), and capybara ( ); a marsupial, manicou ( ); and an artiodactyl, the collared peccary ( / ) and a ruminant (the red brocket deer, ). While there are many descriptions of the parasites present, the majority of publications failed to note the effect of them on the animals. Most information is available on endoparasites of capybara, while the endoparasites of the red brocket deer were the least reported. The manicou was reported to have had the most number of endoparasites, 44 species of parasites were reported, while there were only 24 endoparasites reported in the lappe. The most common parasites found in these neotropical animals were , spp., spp., , spp., spp., and spp. A large majority of the studies concluded that these animals were reservoirs for parasites that could affect domesticated livestock. Endoparasites of zoonotic significance were spp., spp., spp., and spp.
