Article Synopsis
- - A study was conducted on wild capybaras and peccaries in Brazil to test for antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii and Leptospira sp.
- - Results showed that 19% of free-ranging and 10% of captive capybaras, as well as 31.8% of collared peccaries, had antibodies for T. gondii, while none tested positive for Leptospira.
- - The findings suggest a low risk of disease in these animals, but emphasize the need for ongoing monitoring to ensure wildlife and public health, especially in urban areas.
