Resumo: | Fleas are eurixenous ectoparasites that can parasitize different species of warm-blooded animals, including humans, with the possibility of causing irritation and blood spoliation. They are vectors responsible for the transmission of numerous pathogens and have a wide geographical distribution, more frequently in warm regions. Domestic animals (dogs and cats) are preferred hosts, but parasitism can also occur in wild hosts, with a greater variety of parasitic species and strong interaction between these siphonapters and their hosts. During the period from January 2021 to June 2023, flea specimens were collected from wild animals coming from the metropolitan region of Sorocaba, São Paulo. Some of these animals were animals from the zoo’s own stock, which were diagnosed with parasitism during routine examinations and others were rescued from the natural environment and sent to the zoo. The flea specimens collected were packed in alcohol 700 GL and sent for microscopic diagnosis. Four groups were diagnosed at the specific level: Ctenocephalides felis, Rhopalopsyllus lutzi, R. lugrubis and Tunga penetrans, and two groups as unidentified species, belonging to the genera Rhopalopsyllus and Polygenis. The parasitized animals were all mammals, belonging to eleven different species, distributed in the Orders Carnivora, Didelphimorphia, Rodentia and Cingulata. Studies on the parasitofauna of wild animals contribute to a greater knowledge about the distribution of parasitic agents and their relationships with the host species. |

São vetores responsáveis pela transmissão de inúmeros patógenos e apresentam ampla distribuição geográfica, com maior frequência em regiões quentes. Os animais domésticos (cães e gatos) são hospedeiros preferenciais, mas o parasitismo pode ocorrer também em hospedeiros selvagens, com maior variedade de espécies parasitas e forte interação entre esses sifonápteros e seus hospedeiros. Durante o período de janeiro de 2021 a junho de 2023, espécimes de pulgas foram coletados de animais selvagens provenientes da região metropolitana de Sorocaba, São Paulo. Alguns destes animais eram animais do plantel do próprio zoológico, que foram diagnosticados com o parasitismo durante exames de rotina e outros foram resgatados do ambiente natural e encaminhados ao zoológico. Os espécimes de pulgas coletadas foram acondicionados em álcool 700 GL e enviados para diagnóstico microscópico. Foram diagnosticados quatro grupos a nível específico: Ctenocephalides felis, Rhopalopsyllus lutzi, R. lugrubis e Tunga penetrans, e dois grupos como espécies não identificadas, pertencentes aos gêneros Rhopalopsyllus e Polygenis. Os animais parasitados eram todos mamíferos, pertencentes a onze espécies diferentes, distribuídas nas Ordens Carnivora, Didelphimorphia, Rodentia e Cingulata. Estudos sobre a parasitofauna de animais selvagens contribuem para um maior conhecimento sobre a distribuição de agentes parasitários e suas relações com as espécies hospedeiras.Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro.2023-12-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionpeer reviewedAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://bjvm.org.br/BJVM/article/view/131010.29374/2527-2179.bjvm003523Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine; Vol. 45 (2023); e003523Revista Brasileira de Medicina Veterinária; v. 45 (2023); e0035232527-21790100-2430reponame:Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicineinstname:Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (SOMVERJ)instacron:SBMVenghttps://bjvm.org.br/BJVM/article/view/1310/1359https://bjvm.org.br/BJVM/article/view/1310/1375Copyright (c) 2023 Rodrigo Hidalgo Friciello Teixeira, André Luiz Mota da Costa, Cassia Regina Ramos Gonzaga, Flora Nogueira Matos, Marina Alvarado de Medeiros, Shamira de Fátima Sallum Leandro, Ronnie Von Matheus, Maria Atalla Bellotti, Beatriz Freitas Lima, Cláudio Alessandro Massamitsu Sakamoto, Luciano Antunes Barroshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTeixeira, Rodrigo Hidalgo Fricielloda Costa, André Luiz MotaGonzaga, Cassia Regina RamosMatos, Flora Nogueirade Medeiros, Marina AlvaradoLeandro, Shamira de Fátima SallumMatheus, Ronnie VonBellotti, Maria AtallaLima, Beatriz FreitasSakamoto, Cláudio Alessandro MassamitsuBarros, Luciano Antunes2024-01-02T15:54:23Zoai:ojs.rbmv.org:article/1310Revistahttps://rbmv.org/BJVMONGhttps://rbmv.org/BJVM/oaicontato.rbmv@gmail.com2527-21790100-2430opendoar:2024-01-02T15:54:23Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine - Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (SOMVERJ)false |
