Occurrence of zoonotic gastrointestinal parasites of rodents and the risk of human infection in different biomes of Brazil.

Rodents are synanthropic mammals adapted to several ecosystems, where they can contribute to the transmission of zoonotic pathogens, including gastrointestinal parasites. The aim of this study was to study the occurrence of gastrointestinal parasites from rodents and discuss the risk of transmission to humans. Fecal samples (n = 110) from different rodent species, namely, (n = 4), (n = 14), (n = 80), (n = 8) and (n = 4), were analyzed using the FLOTAC technique.
