Resumo: | Brazil is composed of large ecosystems with vast biodiversity in fauna and flora. Agriculture and livestock farming provides an interaction between humans and domestic and wild animals, which favors the dissemination of infectious and parasitic agents. Wild rodents present a wide ecological diversity; therefore, it is necessary to know which species may be carriers of pathogens. This study aims to identify endo and ectoparasites, and hemoparasites in Spix's yellow-toothed cavy (Galea spixii Wangler, 1831), and determine the hematological parameters of this species. The study was carried out with 16 adult specimens from both sexes, captured in the rural areas of Remigio and Areia, Paraiba State, northeastern Brazil. All Spix's yellow-toothed cavies presented ectoparasites, Gliricola quadrisetosa, Gyropus ovalis, Laelaps sp. and Chirodiscoides caviae, and endoparasites identified by the presence of Nematode eggs, Cestode eggs, and coccidian oocysts in the stool samples. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of parasitism by Gyropus ovalis, Laelaps sp. and Chirodiscoides cavia in Spix's yellow-toothed cavy. Animals tested negative by PCR for hemotropic Mycoplasma sp., Babesia sp., Ehrlichia sp., and Bartonella sp. For the first time, the hematological profile of these animals was determined. These results can be the basis for future research with the species, which can be used as a sample animal in experiments in clinical settings as an epidemiological guide since this species is routinely used by impoverished populations in the Northeastern region of Brazil as pets, as well as a source of protein. |

O desenvolvimento da agricultura e pecuária proporciona uma interação entre a população humana e animais domésticos e silvestres, o que facilita a disseminação de agentes infecciosos e parasitos. Os roedores selvagens apresentam uma ampla diversidade ecológica; portanto, é necessário conhecer as espécies que podem ser portadoras de patógenos. O presente estudo tem como objetivo identificar endo e ectoparasitos, e hemoparasitos em preás (Galea spixii Wangler, 1831), e determinar os parâmetros hematológicos desta espécie. O trabalho foi realizado com 16 espécimes adultos de ambos os sexos capturados nas áreas rurais de Remígio e Areia, estado da Paraíba, nordeste do Brasil. Todos os animais apresentaram ectoparasitas, Gliricola quadrisetosa, Gyropus ovalis, Laelaps sp. e Chirodiscoides caviae, e endoparasitos identificados pela presença de ovos de nematódeos, ovos de cestódeos e oocistos de coccídeos na amostra de fezes. Este é o primeiro relato de parasitismo de Gyropus ovalis, Laelaps sp. e Chirodiscoides cavia em preás. Os animais testaram negativo na PCR para Mycoplasma sp., Babesia sp., Ehrlichia sp., e Bartonella sp. Pela primeira vez, foi determinado o perfil hematológico desses animais. Esses resultados podem servir de base para futuras pesquisas com a espécie, que pode ser utilizada para experimentação em ensaios clínicos como guia epidemiológico, uma vez que essa espécie é rotineiramente utilizada por populações empobrecidas da região Nordeste do Brasil como fonte proteica, além de seu uso como animais de estimação.UEL2022-12-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/semagrarias/article/view/4604310.5433/1679-0359.2022v43n6p2671Semina: Ciências Agrárias; Vol. 43 No. 6 (2022); 2671-2690Semina: Ciências Agrárias; v. 43 n. 6 (2022); 2671-26901679-03591676-546Xreponame:Semina.
