is considered the most common marsupial in Rio Grande do Sul. With omnivorous and synanthropic habits, it can serve as a host to various parasites, playing an important role in maintaining their biological cycle. Despite being a widespread and abundant species, it has a relatively little-known parasitic fauna. Therefore, the aim of this study was to report the diversity of parasites in a fecal sample from in Rio Grande do Sul, Southern Brazil. Modified Centrifugal-flotation and Spontaneous sedimentation techniques were used, revealing a high taxonomic diversity of parasites. Eggs of spp., spp., and Anoplocephalidae were reported for the first time in the host in the southern region of the country, along with the first report of pseudoparasitism by spp. and spp. in this animal species. The presence of different parasites in the feces of is of utmost importance, primarily for public health, but also for understanding the biodiversity of parasites present in wildlife, which has been poorly studied until now. This allows the implementation of effective strategies for controlling, preventing and treating these diseases.
被认为是南里奥格兰德州最常见的有袋动物。它具有杂食性和与人类共生的习性，可作为多种寄生虫的宿主，在维持其生物循环中发挥重要作用。尽管它是一种分布广泛且数量众多的物种，但其寄生动物区系相对鲜为人知。因此，本研究的目的是报告巴西南部南里奥格兰德州一只[动物名称未给出]粪便样本中的寄生虫多样性。采用了改良的离心浮选法和自然沉淀法，揭示了寄生虫的高分类多样性。该国南部地区首次在该宿主中报告了[寄生虫名称未给出]属、[寄生虫名称未给出]属和裸头科的虫卵，以及该动物物种中首次出现的[寄生虫名称未给出]属和[寄生虫名称未给出]属的假寄生现象。[动物名称未给出]粪便中存在不同的寄生虫至关重要，主要关乎公共卫生，同时也有助于了解野生动物中寄生虫的生物多样性，而这方面迄今为止研究甚少。这使得能够实施有效的疾病控制、预防和治疗策略。
