摘要
Tunga penetrans causes tungiasis, a parasitic disease of humans and domestic animals. In this work we report the presence of tungiasis in the southern tamandua (Tamandua tetradactyla) from Formosa, Argentina. An individual of southern tamandua was found dead on the roadside and it presented lesions consisted with neosomes located on its four limbs. We identified neosomes as T. penetrans. Records of T. penetrans in wild mammals acquire relevance because monitoring wildlife could help prevent possible outbreaks of tungiasis and other zoonosis.
