First record of Contracaecum australe (Nematoda: Anisakidae) infecting Neotropic cormorant (Phalacrocorax brasilianus) (Aves: Phalacrocoracidae) in southern Brazil with a phylogenetic analysis.

Phalacrocorax brasilianus (Gmelin, 1789) (Aves: Phalacrocoracidae) is one of the few piscivorous birds inhabiting freshwater and saline environments, being considered one of the most abundant aquatic species in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, especially along the state's coastline. It is known that birds are hosts to a wide variety of disease-causing agents, among them, nematodes of the Contracaecum (Anisakidae) have a large number of recognized species. However, little is still known about the occurrence of these parasites in the Southern region of Brazil.

Molecular identification of Chrysomya albiceps (Diptera: Calliphoridae) in a case of primary cutaneous myiasis in sheep at southern Brazil.

Sheep farming has been growing in Brazil, driven by an expanding consumer market due to greater acceptance of its meat and derivatives. There are several factors that limit sheep production, and one of them is infestation by ectoparasites, which cause stress in animals, weight loss, poor development, low productivity, low quality wool and reduced fertility. Chrysomya albiceps is a species of blowfly belonging to the Calliphoridae family that occurs in neotropical regions, where it causes secondary myiasis.

Absence of Leishmania spp. DNA in road-killed wild mammals in Southern Brazil.

Leishmaniasis are neglected diseases transmitted by vectors that affect domestic and wild animals, including humans. Due to its incidence and lethality, this zoonosis is a worrying public health problem, making it essential to identify all links in the transmission chain. Infection of wild mammals by Leishmania spp.

Description of the parasitic fauna of a specimen of at Rio Grande do Sul.

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.

(Siphonaptera, Pulicidae) parasitizing White-eared opossum () at Southern Brazil - Case report.

is a marsupial with synanthropic habits, whose contact with domestic animals and humans is increasing. They are considered potential disseminators of diseases, present as definitive hosts or reservoirs of various pathogenic agents. The present study aim to report, for the first time, the parasitism by in in Rio Grande, Southern Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil.

First report of parasitism by (Phthiraptera: Trichodectidae) on (Erethizontidae) in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil - case report.

is a species of rodent popularly known as porcupine, it has a great ability to adapt to different habitats and is found in tropical forests in countries such as Bolivia, Brazil, Venezuela and Guianas. This mammal has already been identified as a reservoir of several pathogenic agents for humans and other animals and has a variety of ectoparasites, endoparasites and hemoparasites little studied and described. Due to this, the objective was to report the parasitism by in in the central region of Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil.

' species from a transmission hotspot and efficacy of the Captor suction light trap.

have medical and veterinary importance, as they play a role as vectors of viruses, protozoa, and nematodes that cause diseases. Despite the relevance to public health, greater attention has been given to other insect vectors. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of the Captor light trap in capturing that could be examined for the presence of DNA.
