Molecular detection of hemoplasmas in rescued black- eared opossums (Didelphis aurita Wied-Neuwied, 1826) from southeastern Brazil, with evidence of a novel genotype infecting marsupials

Agatha Ferreira Xavier de Oliveira et al.

Summary: This study investigated the presence of hemoplasmas in opossums rescued from the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro. Three out of 15 opossums tested positive for hemotropic Mycoplasma spp. and showed hematological alterations. This study indicates the need for further research on the role of opossums in the circulation of tick-borne pathogens.

Occurrence and Molecular Identification of Hemoparasites in Wild Mammals Kept in Rehabilitation Centers in Brazil

Natalia M. N. Fava et al.

Summary: Wild mammals are commonly infected by blood parasites, some of which pose a potential threat to domestic animals and human health. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of parasites, hosts, and diseases is crucial for effective prevention, control, and treatment measures.

Novel Ehrlichia and Hepatozoon genotypes in white-eared opossums (Didelphis albiventris) and associated ticks from Brazil

Marcos Rogerio Andre et al.

Summary: This study investigated the presence of Ehrlichia spp., Anaplasma spp., and Hepatozoon sp. in the blood and ticks of white-eared opossums in urban forest fragments in midwestern Brazil. The study found the occurrence of putative novel genotypes of Ehrlichia sp. and Hepatozoon sp. in these opossums and associated ticks.

Comparative Analysis of Genome of Ehrlichia sp. HF, a Model Bacterium to Study Fatal Human Ehrlichiosis

Mingqun Lin et al.

Summary: Ehrlichia sp. HF, a novel species in the genus Ehrlichia, has been stably cultured and its complete genome sequenced, showing similarities with E. chaffeensis. This species is proposed as a model for studying fatal human ehrlichiosis, providing insights into virulence factors and host inflammatory responses. The naming of this bacterium as Ehrlichia japonica sp. nov. reflects its initial isolation in Japan.

Didelphis spp. opossums and their parasites in the Americas: A One Health perspective

Marcos Antonio Bezerra-Santos et al.

Summary: Medium sized opossums play important ecological roles in the Americas, but as synanthropic animals, they may harbor various pathogens that pose potential threats to humans, pets, and livestock, highlighting the risks of disease transmission in public health and veterinary fields.

Luiz Ricardo Goncalves et al.

Summary: The study detected and characterized piroplasmids from wild mammals and associated ticks in Central-Western Brazil, revealing a potential novel piroplasmid species and identifying partial 18S rRNA gene sequences related to piroplasms found in capybaras in rodents.
