Abstract

Background

Currently, six species of Callithrix are frequently observed in anthropized and degraded environments in different regions of Brazil. This occupation favors interactions with humans and increases the risk of infection by parasites with zoonotic potential. This study assessed the occurrence of enteroparasites in free-ranging Callithrix spp. from different municipalities in Paraná state, Brazil, from a One Health approach.

Methods

Faecal samples of 37 specimens of C. penicillata, C. jacchus, and hybrid species were analyzed.

Results

The most frequent parasite forms observed included helminth eggs (Ascaridida, Rhabditida, Trichostrongylidae), and protozoan oocysts and cysts (Coccidia, Diplomonadida). Clinical evaluations of the animals indicated musculoskeletal abnormalities, dental changes, skin injuries, gastrointestinal signs, and low body weight.

Conclusions

The presence of parasites with zoonotic potential highlights the need for ongoing surveillance of marmoset populations, underscoring the importance of maintaining a balanced relationship among the environment, humans, and animals within the One Health approach.

巴西南部狨猴（Callithrix Spp.）的人畜共患寄生虫：从一个健康角度的见解

背景目前，在巴西不同地区的人类化和退化环境中，经常观察到六种Callithrix。这一职业有利于与人类互动，并增加了寄生虫感染的风险，具有人畜共患的潜力。本研究采用One Health方法评估了巴西paran州不同城市自由放养的卡利思虫的肠道寄生虫发生情况。方法对37份青霉、紫霉及杂交种的粪便标本进行分析。结果最常见的寄生虫类型为蛔虫卵（蛔虫、横纹虫、毛圆虫科）和原生动物卵囊和卵囊（球虫、圆虫）。动物的临床评估显示肌肉骨骼异常、牙齿改变、皮肤损伤、胃肠道症状和体重低。具有人畜共患可能性的寄生虫的存在突出了对绒猴种群进行持续监测的必要性，强调了在“同一个健康”方针下维持环境、人类和动物之间平衡关系的重要性。
