Full textRESUMO - A existência de animais exóticos enquanto animais de estimação é uma realidade cada vez maior, nomeadamente em Portugal (Ferreira 2017). Os pequenos mamíferos exóticos são exemplo disso, pois apresentam inúmeras características que os tornam excelentes animais de companhia. Assim, torna-se fundamental a aquisição de mais conhecimentos sobre estas espécies, nomeadamente na área da parasitologia, uma vez que estas podem ser portadoras de parasitas com potencial zoonótico, representando um risco para a saúde publica. O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar um rastreio parasitológico nos mamíferos exóticos observados no Hospital Escolar Veterinário da FMV-ULisboa e, desta forma, estimar a prevalência dos mesmos nestes animais. Foram colhidas amostras de 74 animais, nomeadamente coelhos, porquinhos-da-índia, furões, ratazanas, chinchilas e um hamster. Realizou-se a colheita de amostras de pelo, de pele para a pesquisa de ectoparasitas, e de fezes para a pesquisa de parasitas gastrointestinais e pulmonares. Foi, ainda, realizada a necropsia aos animais que faleceram durante o período em que o estudo decorreu. As preparações foram observadas ao microscópio ótico e, posteriormente, realizou-se a análise estatística dos resultados. Relativamente aos ectoparasitas, nos coelhos (n=37) observaram-se Cheyletiella parasitovorax (10,81%), Leporacarus gibbus (8,11%) e Psoroptes cuniculi (2,70%). Nos porquinhos-da-índia (n=19) detetaram-se Chirodiscoides caviae (15,79%) e Gliricola porcelli (5,26%). Nos furões (n=8) e nas ratazanas (n=6) observaram-se Otodectes cynotis (12,5%) e Polyplax spinulosa (16,67%), respetivamente. No único hamster amostrado detetou-se Ornithonyssus bacoti (100%). Nas chinchilas (n=3) não se observaram ectoparasitas. Quanto à presença de parasitas gastrointestinais, apenas foi detetado Passalurus ambiguus (2,70%) nos coelhos (n=37). Não foram encontrados parasitas pulmonares em nenhum animal. No que diz respeito à prevenção verificou-se que 51,35% dos animais não recebiam desparasitação externa e que 64,86% recebiam desparasitação interna. Concluiu-se que a espécie mais parasitada foi o coelho. A maioria dos ectoparasitas encontrada nesta espécie (C. parasitovorax e L. gibbus) bem como o ácaro encontrado no hamster (O. bacoti), apresentam potencial zoonótico, o que realça a importância da adoção de cuidados na manipulação destes animais e do cumprimento da desparasitação.
ABSTRACT - Screening for parasites in Exotic Mammals attended at the Veterinary School Hospital of FMV-ULisbon - The existence of exotic animals as pets is an increasing reality, namely in Portugal (Ferreira 2017). Small exotic mammals are an example of this, as they have numerous characteristics that make them excellent companion animals. Thus, it is essential to acquire more knowledge about these species, namely in the area of parasitology, since they may be carriers of parasites with zoonotic potential, representing a risk to public health. The aim of this study was to perform a screening for parasites in exotic mammals observed at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of the FMV-ULisbon and, thus, to estimate their prevalence in these animals. Samples were taken from 74 animals, namely rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, rats, chinchillas and a hamster. Samples of fur, skin for ectoparasites, and feces for gastrointestinal and pulmonary parasites were collected. Necropsy was also performed on animals that died during the period in which the study ran. The preparations were observed under an optical microscope and, subsequently, a statistical analysis of the results was performed. Regarding ectoparasites, in rabbits (n = 37) Cheyletiella parasitovorax (10.81%), Leporacarus gibbus (8.11%) and Psoroptes cuniculi (2.70%) were observed. In guinea pigs (n = 19), Chirodiscoides caviae (15.79%) and Gliricola porcelli (5.26%) were detected. In ferrets (n = 8) and rats (n = 6), Otodectes cynotis (12.5%) and Polyplax spinulosa (16.67%) were observed, respectively. In the only hamster sampled, Ornithonyssus bacoti (100%) was detected. In chinchillas (n = 3) ectoparasites were not observed. As for the presence of gastrointestinal parasites, only Passalurus ambiguus (2.70%) was detected in rabbits (n = 37). No pulmonary parasites were found in any animal. With regard to prevention, 51.35% of the animals did not receive external deworming and 64.86% received internal deworming. In conclusion, the most parasitized specie was the rabbit. The majority of ectoparasites found in this species (C. parasitovorax and L. gibbus), as well as the mite found in the hamster (O. bacoti), have zoonotic potential, which highlights the importance of adopting care in handling these animals as well as a correct deworming.

Full textOs animais de parques zoológicos são muito vulneráveis a infeções parasitárias devido a vários fatores, entre os quais, o stress provocado pelo cativeiro e a elevada contaminação ambiental com formas parasitárias que se verifica nesses espaços. A investigação da fauna parasitária que ocorre nestes animais assume especial relevância pelo contacto entre várias espécies, incluindo os humanos, que pode ocasionar infeções interespecíficas e zoonoses. Esta dissertação visa reportar os parasitas gastrointestinais e pulmonares observados em 17 espécies de mamíferos, exóticos e domésticos, de um parque zoológico privado em Abrantes. As 106 amostras fecais recolhidas foram analisadas com recurso a técnica de Baermann, coprocultura, flutuação pelo método de Willis, sedimentação natural, esfregaço fecal corado pelo método de Ziehl-Neelsen modificado e contagem de ovos em câmara de McMaster. Foram encontrados parasitas pulmonares em 6,6% [IC95%:3-13%] das amostras fecais, e identificados os géneros Muellerius e Cystocaulus. Os parasitas gastrointestinais estavam presentes em 80,2% [IC95%:72-87%] das amostras, e consistiram em nemátodes (65,1% [IC95%:56-74%]) e protozoários (44,3% [IC95%:35-53%]). Nas amostras (n=50) dos animais da ordem Artiodactyla foi observada uma prevalência de 88% [IC95%:76-94%] de parasitas gastrointestinais; 78% [IC95%:65-87%] de nemátodes (estrongilídeos gastrointestinais (EGI), Trichostrongylus spp., Oesophagostumum sp., Nematodirus sp. e Trichuris sp.) e 60% [IC95%:46-72%] de protozoários (Eimeria sp. e Cryptosporidium sp.). Na ordem Carnivora (n=39) 69,2% [IC95%:54-81%] das amostras foram positivas, tendo sido observada uma prevalência de 41% [IC95%:27-57%] de nemátodes (Baylisascaris spp.) e 38,5% [IC95%:25-54%] de protozoários (Cystoisospora spp. e Cryptosporidium spp.). Na ordem Perissodactyla (n=6) 100% [IC95%:61-100%] das amostras mostraram parasitas gastrointestinais, sendo apenas observados nemátodes (EGI, Cyathostomum spp. e Trichostrongylus spp.). Da ordem Rodentia (n=9) 88,9% [IC95%:57-98%] das amostras foram positivas; 88,9% [IC95%:57-98%] de nemátodes (EGI e Trichuris sp.) e 22,2% [IC95%:6-55%] de protozoários (Eimeria sp.). Nas amostras da ordem Diprotodontia (n=2) não foram observados parasitas. Foram colhidos parasitas adultos (Trichuris sp. e Baylisascaris columnaris) do ceco de uma lebre da Patagónia e do intestino delgado de uma doninha fedorenta. A descoberta de formas parasitárias em quase todas as espécies animais, incluindo de parasitas com potencial zoonótico como Baylisascaris spp. (reportado pela primeira vez em Portugal) e Cryptosporidium spp. alerta para a importância das medidas de prevenção e controlo parasitário em coleções zoológicas, permitindo um melhor nível de saúde animal e saúde pública.
ABSTRACT - Survey of gastrointestinal and lung parasites of mammals from a zoological park in Abrantes, Portugal - Zoo animals are very vulnerable to parasitic infections due to a number of factors, including captivity stress and high environmental contamination that happen in these spaces. The investigation of the parasitic fauna that occurs in these animals is specialy important due to the contact between several species, including humans, that can cause interspecies transmission and zoonoses. This survey aims to report the gastrointestinal and pulmonary parasites observed in 17 species of mammals, both exotic and domestic, in a private zoo in Abrantes. For the coprological study 106 faecal samples were collected and analyzed using Baermann technique, coproculture, Willis Flotation, natural sedimentation, faecal smear stained with Ziehl-Neelsen method and egg count in McMaster's slide. Pulmonary parasites were found in 6,6% [IC95%: 3-13%] of faecal samples, with the genera Muellerius and Cystocaulus being identified. Gastrointestinal parasites were present in 80,2% [IC95%: 72-87%] of the faecal samples, and consisted of nematodes (65,1% [IC95%: 56-74%]) and protozoa (44,3% [IC95%: 35-53%]). In the animal samples (n=50) of the order Artiodactyla a prevalence of 88% [IC95%: 76-94%] of gastrointestinal parasites was observed; 78% [IC95%: 65-87%] of nematodes (gastrointestinal strongyles, Trichostrongylus spp., Oesophagostumum spp., Nematodirus spp. and Trichuris spp.) and 60% [IC95%: 46-72%] of protozoa (Eimeria spp. and Cryptosporidium spp.). In the order Carnivora (n=39) 69,2% [IC95%: 54-81%] of the samples were positive, with a prevalence of 41% [IC95%: 27-57%] of nematodes (Baylisascaris spp.) and 38,5% [IC95%: 25-54%] of protozoa (Cystoisospora spp. and Cryptosporidium spp.). In the order Perissodactyla (n=6) a prevalence of 100% [IC95%: 61-100%] of gastrointestinal parasites was observed, with only nematodes presente (gastrointestinal strongyles, Cyathostomum spp. and Trichostrongylus spp.). Of the order Rodentia (n=9), 88,9% [IC95%: 57-98%] of the samples were positive; 88,9% [IC95%: 57-98%] of nematodes (gastrointestinal strongyles and Trichuris sp.) and 22,2% [IC95%: 6-55%] of protozoa (Eimeria sp.). Samples of the order Diprotodontia (n=2) showed no parasites. Adult parasites (Trichuris sp. and Baylisascaris columnaris) were collected from the cecum of a Patagonian mara and from the small intestine of a striped skunk. The finding of parasitic forms in almost all animal species, including parasites with zoonotic potential such as Baylisascaris spp. (reported for the first time in Portugal) and Cryptosporidium spp., brings attention to the importance of parasitic prevention and control measures in zoological collections, allowing a better level of animal and public health.

Full textBiological invasions are considered one of the most important threats to global biodiversity. Domestic dogs, the most abundant carnivore in the world, are known to invade areas of native vegetation and impact wildlife through competition, predation and disease transmission. Drawing on two extensive dataset obtained through camera-trapping, this dissertation intends to contribute to the understanding of the causes and consequences of the invasion by domestic dogs of forests fragments and agroforests in the Atlantic Forest. The dissertation is organized into two chapters. In the first chapter, we use data from two rural landscapes of São Paulo Atlantic Plateau with different proportions of remaining forests, and (1) describe the management and the characteristics of dogs that visit forest fragments, (2) compare, between these landscapes, the frequency and time of visits, the size of groups of invading dogs, and the drivers of invasion intensity, and (3) investigate the impacts of invasion intensity on the distribution of native large mammals. In the second chapter, using data from an agroforestry mosaic in southern Bahia, we investigate (4) if the conversion of native forests into agroforests and agroforestry intensification favor the invasion by dogs, and (5) if invasion by these animals is more associated with human presence in agroforests than in forests. Our findings highlight that: (1) the intensity of the invasion by dogs in human-modified landscapes in the Atlantic Forest is extremely high, both in terms of the number of individuals and of visits and in terms of the number of occupied sites; (2) invasion is favored by the type of management, with dogs kept free, and seems to be strongly associated with the presence of humans; (3) invasion intensity negatively affects the distribution of a larger number of large mammals than the loss of 40% of forest in the landscape; (4) characteristics of forest fragments associated with habitat loss (quantity and quality of remnants) are more important than propagule pressure to determine the intensity of invasion; (5) management intensification in agroforests intensifies invasion. As intensification of agroforestry and other agricultural systems has increased globally and, despite the decrease in the rates of deforestation in recent years, most tropical forest remnants consist of degraded or secondary vegetation, the amount of areas susceptible to invasion and the damages caused by domestic dogs should increase in the future.
