| Abstract | Plague is a disease of epidemic potential that may emerge with discontinuous outbreaks. In South America, 50
wild rodent species have been identified as plague reservoirs, in addition to one lagomorph and two marsupials.
To review the nomenclature of plague reservoirs, we examined specimens collected in plague foci, carried out
new surveys in Brazilian plague regions, and re-evaluated the nomenclature of South American reservoirs on
the basis of the current literature. Five of the 15 species involved with plague in Argentina, three of 10 species
involved with plague in Bolivia, three of the seven species involved with plague in Peru, five of the nine species
involved with plague in Ecuador, and six of the nine species involved with plague in Brazil have undergone
taxonomic changes. In the last 20 years, plague cases were recorded in Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, and Peru.
These four countries have a high rodent species richness in plague foci, a fact that may be decisive for the
maintenance of plague in the wild. | pt_BR |
