The genus Bartonella (Rhizobiales; Bartonellaceae) encompasses facultative intracellular Gram-negative bacteria that mainly parasitize erythrocytes and endothelial cells of mammals, and can cause zoonoses with clinical manifestations ranging from moderate to severe, depending on the Bartonella species involved and the immune status of the mammalian host. Cats, rodents and bats act as rese…
Ruminants have great ecological, agricultural and economic importance. The high occurrence of tick-borne diseases in ruminants has hampered livestock development in Brazil, Mozambique, the Federative Republic of Somalia and the Republic of The Gambia. Considering that cattle, goats, sheep and buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) may live and graze together, pathogens from goats, sheep and buffaloe…
Protozoan of the Sarcocystis genus are coccidia worldwide distributed, known parasites of several systems in avian, reptiles, fish and mammals, including humans. Marsupials of Didelphis genus (opossums) are the known definitive hosts for different species of Sarcocystis, shedding sporocysts in their faeces. S. neurona is the parasite most frequently associated to equine protozoal myeloenc…
In the Brazilian Amazon region, malaria caused by Plasmodium malariae is considered to be a zoonosis because of cross-transfer of the parasite between humans and Neotropical primates. To contribute information on this issue, we investigated occurrences of natural infection with Plasmodium sp. among Neotropical primates in the Maranhense Amazon (Amazon region of the state of Maranhão), in …

Sarcocystis spp. são protozoários coccídeos, mundialmente distribuídos, capazes de parasitar aves, répteis, peixes e mamíferos, incluindo seres humanos. Marsupiais do gênero Didelphis (gambás) são reconhecidos como hospedeiros definitivos para diferentes espécies de Sarcocystis, com eliminação da forma infectante (oocistos) em suas fezes. Sarcocystis neurona e S. falcatula são frequenteme…

Bacteria of the genus Anaplasma are alpha-proteobacteria belonging to the family Anaplasmataceae, order Rickettsiales These microorganisms are obligate intracellular erythrocytes. Transmission is mediated by ticks, hematophagous flies, transplacentally, or fomites with infected blood. This genus presents great economic and veterinary importance, given the diseases caused to the bovine her…

Sarcocystis spp. are apicomplexan parasites of great importance in Veterinary Medicine. These protozoans have the ability to infect a broad range of intermediate hosts, including avian, reptiles, fish, mammals, and also humans. Sarcocystis neurona is the main etiological agent of equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM), and in North America it is also an important cause of mortality in m…
