Resumo: Didelphis albiventris is a marsupial with synanthropic habits, whose contact with domestic animals and humans is increasing. They are considered potential disseminators of diseases, present as definitive hosts or reservoirs of various pathogenic agents. The present study aim to report, for the first time, the parasitism by Ctenocephalides felis in D. albiventris in Rio Grande, Southern Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil. An adult female White-eared Opossum (D. albiventris), killed by being run over, was collected on the roads of the city of Rio Grande, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil and sent to the laboratory for necropsy. During external inspection, a flea was found, which was stored in 70o alcohol until taxonomic identification, being classified as C. felis. This study reports the occurrence of parasitism by C. felis in D. albiventris for the first time in the location studied, demonstrating that these arthropods circulate between the wild and urban environments, and play an important role in the cycle of zoonotic pathogens among wild fauna, companion animals and humans.

São considerados potenciais disseminadores de doenças, apresentando-se como hospedeiros definitivos ou reservatórios de vários agentes patogênicos. O presente estudo tem como objetivo relatar, pela primeira vez, o parasitismo por Ctenocephalides felis em D. albiventris em Rio Grande, Sul do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Uma fêmea adulta de gambá-de-orelha-branca (D. albiventris), morta por atropelamento, foi recolhida nas estradas da cidade de Rio Grande, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil e encaminhado ao laboratório para necropsia. Durante inspeção externa foi encontrada uma pulga que foi armazenada em álcool 70º até a identificação taxonômica sendo classificado como C. felis. Este estudo relata a ocorrência de parasitismo por C. felis em D. albiventris para primeira vez no local estudado, demonstrando que esses artrópodes circulam entre a natureza e ambientes urbanos e desempenham um papel importante no ciclo de patógenos zoonóticos entre a fauna selvagem, animais de companhia e humanos.Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro.2023-12-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://bjvm.org.br/BJVM/article/view/130610.29374/2527-2179.bjvm0042223Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine; Vol. 45 (2023); e004223Revista Brasileira de Medicina Veterinária; v. 45 (2023); e0042232527-21790100-2430reponame:Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicineinstname:Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (SOMVERJ)instacron:SBMVenghttps://bjvm.org.br/BJVM/article/view/1306/1357https://bjvm.org.br/BJVM/article/view/1306/1364Copyright (c) 2023 Julia Somavilla Lignon, Diego Moscarelli Pinto, Silvia Gonzalez Monteiro, Gabrielle Torres Cotta de Mello, Natália Soares Martins, Tamires Silva dos Santos, Fábio Raphael Pascoti Bruhnhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLignon, Julia SomavillaPinto, Diego MoscarelliMonteiro, Silvia Gonzalezde Mello, Gabrielle Torres CottaMartins, Natália Soaresdos Santos, Tamires SilvaBruhn, Fábio Raphael Pascoti2023-12-15T23:55:41Zoai:ojs.rbmv.org:article/1306Revistahttps://rbmv.org/BJVMONGhttps://rbmv.org/BJVM/oaicontato.rbmv@gmail.com2527-21790100-2430opendoar:2023-12-15T23:55:41Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine - Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (SOMVERJ)false
