This study aimed to identify and characterize genetically species of the genus Hepatozoon detected in Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris (capybaras) and Pecari tajacu (collared peccaries) from two localities from the Eastern Amazon. in Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris and Pecari tajacu from eastern Amazon.ĭe Azevedo Gomes, Laise Moraes, Leopoldo Augusto Figueira Aguiar, Délia Cristina Tavares Dias, Hilma Lúcia Sardinha Ribeiro, Ana Silvia Piram do Couto Rocha, Henrique Teixeira Nunes, Márcio Roberto Costa Gonçalves, Evonnildo Our results indicate the possible transmission of various pathogens, important for pig farms, in the studied pig and peccaries. Positive antibodies against PVC-2 represent a novel report of exposure to this pathogen in Colombian peccaries. Icterohaemorrhagiae appears to be a common serovar among in situ and ex situ peccary populations. interrogans was similar to that observed in other studies.

Also, the only white-lipped peccary ( Tayassu pecari) sampled was positive for L. Leptospira prevalence was 78% (39/50) in collared peccary and 100% (8/8) in feral pigs bratislava, grippotyphosa, icterohaemorrhagiae, and pomona were the most frequent serovars. Vesicular stomatitis prevalence was 33% (8/24) in collared peccaries and 67% (4/6) in feral pigs. The prevalence of PCV-2 was 7% (1/15) in collared peccaries and 67% (2/3) in feral pigs. The prevalence of CSFV was 5% (3/58) in collared peccaries and 7% (1/15) in feral pigs. and six serovars of Leptospira interrogans. Blood samples were tested for antibodies against four viral agents, classical swine fever virus (CSFV), Aujeszky's disease virus (ADV), porcine circovirus (PCV-2), and vesicular stomatitis virus (New Jersey and Indiana subtypes) and two bacterial agents, Brucella spp. We captured 58 collared peccaries ( Pecari tajacu) and 15 feral pigs ( Sus scrofa) in locations of Colombia where coexistence of these species is known. In South America, wild populations of peccaries coexist with domestic and feral pigs, with poorly understood consequences. ![]() Montenegro, Olga L Roncancio, Nestor Soler-Tovar, Diego Cortés-Duque, Jimena Contreras-Herrera, Jorge Sabogal, Sandra Acevedo, Luz Dary Navas-Suárez, Pedro Enrique Serologic Survey for Selected Viral and Bacterial Swine Pathogens in Colombian Collared Peccaries ( Pecari tajacu) and Feral Pigs ( Sus scrofa). This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Neotropical Behaviour. Although our results indirectly indicate some role of sex, age and familiarity, further studies are needed to clarify the factors that shape the rates of interactions in collared peccaries. However, relatedness did not predict the rates of social interactions. As predicted, we found that kin were spatially closer than non-kin, which suggests that relatedness is a good predictor of spatial association in peccaries. Pairwise relatedness was calculated based on microsatellite data. We recorded spatial association patterns and rates of interactions of two captive groups. As peccaries are highly social and cooperative, live in stable cohesive herds and show certain degree of female philopatry and high mean relatedness within herds, we hypothesized that kin would be spatially closer and display more amicable and less agonistic interactions than non-kin. We addressed here the influence of relatedness on the social structure of a Neotropical ungulate, the collared peccary ( Pecari tajacu). Relatedness is considered an important factor in shaping social structure as the association among kin might facilitate cooperation via inclusive fitness benefits. Social structure of collared peccaries ( Pecari tajacu): does relatedness matter?īiondo, Cibele Izar, PatrÃcia Miyaki, Cristina Y Bussab, Vera S R Blood samples from 101 white-lipped peccary from Peru were collected from 3 different conservation areas located in the municipalities of Manu and Tambopata, southeastern r. In the Peruvian Amazon, the white-lipped peccary (Tayassu pecari) is a desirable game and is important for local rural economy. ![]() USDA-ARS?s Scientific Manuscript database Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in wild white-lipped peccary (Tayassu pecari) from Peru ![]()
