Resumo: | The use of run-over wild animals is an efficient strategy for scientific research of pathogens. The aim of this study was to detect DNA from phylum Apicomplexa in the brain of road-killed wild animals from the North-Central and North Pioneer mesoregions of Paraná, Brazil. Pre-established transects were run weekly; when found, animals were packed into individual packages and sent for autopsy. The brain fragments were collected and kept at -20 ° C until processing. The DNA extracted from the samples was amplified by nested-PCR for the 18S rDNA gene from the phylum Apicomplexa. All positive samples were submitted to DNA sequencing to define the species. A total of 90 animals were collected, however, only 68 animals (75.6%) that had integrity of the brain were included in the study. It was possible to identify the species by DNA sequencing in four samples: Sarcocystis spp. was identified in one Colaptes melanochloros (Green-barred woodpecker) and one Mazama gouazoubira (Gray brocket). Neospora caninum was observed in a Leopardus pardalis (Ocelot) and T. gondii was present in Didelphis albiventris (white-eared opossum). The results indicated that parasites with economic and public health relevance were present in wild animals, which may favor infection of humans and animals. |

O objetivo deste estudo foi detectar DNA de parasitas do filo Apicomplexa em amostras de cérebro de animais silvestres atropelados nas mesorregiões Centro-Norte e Pioneira do Norte do Paraná, Brasil. Os transectos pré-estabelecidos foram percorridos semanalmente; quando encontrados, os animais foram armazenados em embalagens individuais e enviados para autópsia. Os fragmentos cerebrais foram coletados e mantidos a -20 ° C até o processamento. O DNA extraído das amostras foi amplificado por nested-PCR para o gene 18S rDNA do filo Apicomplexa. Todas as amostras positivas foram submetidas ao sequenciamento de DNA para definição da espécie. Um total de 90 animais foram coletados, no entanto, foram incluídos no estudo apenas 68 animais (75,6%) que apresentavam encéfalo. No sequenciamento foi possível identificar parasitos apicomplexos pelo sequenciamento de DNA em quatro amostras: Sarcocystis spp. em Colaptes melanochloros (pica-pau-verde-barrado) e em Mazama gouazoubira (veado-catingueiro); Neospora caninum em Leopardus pardalis (jaguatirica); e T. gondii em Didelphis albiventris (gambá-de-orelha-branca). Os resultados demonstraram que protozoários com relevância econômica e de saúde pública estavam presentes em animais silvestres, o que pode favorecer a infecção de humanos e animais.UEL2022-03-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado por paresapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/semagrarias/article/view/4447110.5433/1679-0359.2022v43n3p1365Semina: Ciências Agrárias; Vol. 43 No. 3 (2022); 1365-1372Semina: Ciências Agrárias; v. 43 n. 3 (2022); 1365-13721679-03591676-546Xreponame:Semina.
