Arenales,Alexandre; Hoppe,Estevam G.L.; Gardiner,Chris; Mol,Juliana P.S.; Werther,Karin; Santos,Renato L.ABSTRACT: This study assessed microscopic morphology of protozoan and metazoan parasites, as well as parasite-associated histopathologic changes in five Brazilian free-ranging armadillos. Three armadillos had intra sarcolemmal cysts of Sarcocystis sp. in skeletal muscles without microscopic changes. One Dasypus novemcinctus was found parasitized with a nematode morphologically compatible with an oxyurid in the ...
