| Abstract | Trypanosomatids are diverse and can infect several host species, including small mammals
(rodents and marsupials). Between 2012 and 2014, 91 small mammals were surveyed for
trypanosomatid infection in the Estação Biológica FIOCRUZ Mata Atlântica (EFMA), an Atlantic
Forest area in Rio de Janeiro that presents different levels of conserved and degraded areas. Blood,
skin, liver, and spleen samples were submitted to parasitological, serological, and molecular assays
to detect the infection and determine the taxonomic status of their parasites. Sixty-eight individuals
(74.7%; n = 91) were infected by trypanosomatids, including fourteen mixed infected by different
trypanosomatid parasites. These hosts were infected by: T. cruzi DTU TcI (n = 12), T. cruzi DTU
TcIV (n = 2), T. janseni (n = 15), T. dionisii (n = 1), and T. rangeli A (n = 1) detected in blood or tissue
cultures, in addition to T. cruzi DTU TcI (n = 9) and Leishmania sp. (n = 1) only by the molecular
diagnosis. Serological diagnosis was positive in 38 (71.6%) individuals for T. cruzi, the same amount
for Leishmania spp., and 23 (43.3%) individuals were mixed infected. These data indicate a remarkable
richness of trypanosomatid species/genotypes infecting small mammals, even in a disturbed area
with low mammal species diversity—as is the case of the EFMA—reinforcing the generalist aspect of
these parasites. | pt_BR |
