Abstract

Environmental changes in the Brazilian Pantanal and Cerrado facilitate the spread of parasitic diseases in wildlife, with significant implications for public health owing to their zoonotic potential. This study aimed to examine the occurrence and diversity of gastrointestinal parasites in wild felids within these regions to assess their ecological and health impacts. We collected and analyzed helminth-positive samples from 27 wild felids using specific taxonomic keys. Diverse parasitic taxa were detected, including zoonotic helminths, such as , , , , , , spp., spp., and spp. Other nematodes, such as and were identified, along with acanthocephalans from the genus and a trematode, spp. (potentially the first record of this parasite in wild felids in the Americas). Human encroachment into natural habitats has profound effects on wild populations, influencing parasitic infection rates and patterns. This study underscores the importance of continuous monitoring and research on parasitic infections as a means of safeguarding both wildlife and human populations and highlights the role of wild felids as bioindicators of environmental health.

摘要

巴西潘塔纳尔湿地和塞拉多地区的环境变化促进了寄生虫病在野生动物中的传播，由于其人畜共患病潜力，对公共卫生具有重大影响。本研究旨在调查这些地区野生猫科动物胃肠道寄生虫的发生情况和多样性，以评估其生态和健康影响。我们使用特定的分类学关键从27只野生猫科动物中收集并分析了蠕虫阳性样本。检测到多种寄生虫类群，包括人畜共患蠕虫，如……属、……属、……属、……属、……属、……属的物种，……属的物种和……属的物种。还鉴定出了其他线虫，如……和……，以及……属的棘头虫和一种吸虫……属（这可能是该寄生虫在美洲野生猫科动物中的首次记录）。人类对自然栖息地的侵占对野生种群有深远影响，影响寄生虫感染率和模式。本研究强调了持续监测和研究寄生虫感染对于保护野生动物和人类种群的重要性，并突出了野生猫科动物作为环境卫生生物指标的作用。
