Parasitoses intestinais em canídeos e outros animais silvestres da Serra do Facão - GO sob a perspectiva da uma só saúde

Abstract

Intestinal parasites are part of public health issues, and it is no different for other animals. In this context the One Health perspective seeks to understand the dynamics between humans, animals and the environment in a unified way. The objective of this study was to identify the presence of intestinal parasites in fecal samples from wild canids originating from Serra do Facão, a Cerrado region located in the state of Goiás, correlating the findings based on the “One Health” approach. The samples were collected in the period from May 2024 to June 2025 and were subsequently processed using three different coproparasitological methods, aiming to detect different evolutionary stages of the parasites. A total of 67 samples from wild animals were analised, of which 47,7% (32/67) belonged to canids. Among these, 28,13% (9/32) were positive for at least one parasite, with the most frequently detected genera being Ancylostoma (12,2%), Toxocara (9,8%) and Hymenolepis (9,8%), respectively.
