Introduction
Brazil is one of the countries with the greatest species diversity in the world (MMA 2024), with two biodiversity hotspots, the Cerrado and the Atlantic Forest, among the 36 existing in the world (Mittermeier et al. Reference Mittermeier, Myers, Thomsen, da Fonseca and Olivieri1998). According to the Brazilian Society of Mammalogy (SBMz), 785 mammal species have been formally described and confirmed to occur in Brazil based on scientific collections or published in the scientific literature (Abreu et al. Reference Abreu, Casali, Costa Araújo, Garbino, Libardi, Loretto, Loss, Marmontel, Moras, Nascimento, Oliveira, Pavan and Tirelli2024). Among them, 69 belong to the order Didelphimorphia Gill, 1872, the only marsupial order that occurs in Brazil. The order Didelphimorphia is represented by the family Didelphidae Gray, 1821, with 15 genera occurring in Brazil, resulting in the largest marsupial fauna of the Americas (Astua et al. Reference Astúa, Cherem and Teta2023; Cáceres Reference Cáceres2012; Faria et al. Reference Faria, Lanes and Bonvicino2019; Gardner Reference Gardner2007.
Marsupials occur in all Brazilian terrestrial biomes. They have a wide range of sizes, with species that can weigh more than 2 kg, such as the common opossums, to species weighing approximately 10 g, such as some species of the genus Monodelphis Burnett, 1830 (Faria et al. Reference Faria, Lanes and Bonvicino2019). They may have terrestrial, arboreal, scansorial, semifossorial, or semiaquatic habits; their diets vary greatly with the species, being omnivorous, insectivorous, frugivorous, nectarivorous, or carnivorous (Paglia et al. Reference Paglia, Fonseca, Rylands, Herrmann, Aguiar, Chiarello, Leite, Costa, Siciliano, Kierulff, Mendes, Tavares, Mittermeier and Patton2011). Species of the genus Didelphis Linnaeus, 1758 draw attention for having the largest body sizes among the Brazilian marsupials (Faria et al. Reference Faria, Lanes and Bonvicino2019) and for their high abundance in disturbed, rural, and urban areas (Cáceres and Monteiro-Filho Reference Cáceres and Monteiro-Filho1998; Gentile et al. Reference Gentile, D’Andrea, Cerqueira and Maroja2000; Reference Gentile, Cardoso, Costa-Neto, Teixeira and D’Andrea2018).
The importance of parasitism in wild animals for biodiversity has gained more recognition in recent decades, when its role in the evolution of host organisms and in the structure of ecosystems began to be better understood (Rocha et al. Reference Rocha, Bergallo and Bittencourt2016; Thomas et al. Reference Thomas, Guégan and Renaud2009). Despite their importance, knowledge about the parasites that occur in wild animals is still limited. One of the problems is the Linnean shortfall (Raven and Wilson Reference Raven and Wilson1992), which is the gap between the number of described (and named) species and the number of estimated existing species. This shortfall may hinder other studies on the life-history of wildlife, animal health, and conservation programs. Similar to the Linnean shortfall, the Wallacean shortfall arises from sample gaps, even in regions with a long history of occupation and research, such as the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (Lomolino et al. Reference Lomolino, Riddle and Brown2005). In addition, the correct identification and classification of species is of fundamental importance for biodiversity studies and, consequently, has major implications in several areas, including conservation, ecology, systematics, epidemiology, and health.
Helminth infections in mammals have attracted the interest of researchers and veterinarians because of the clinical severity they can cause in wild (Costa-Neto et al. Reference Costa-Neto, Simões, Mota, Vilela, Lopes Torres, Barbosa, Gentile and Maldonado2016), synanthropic (Simões et al. Reference Simões, Souza, Maldonado and Luque2011), domestic (Brianti et al. Reference Brianti, Gaglio, Giannetto, Annoscia, Latrofa, Dantas-Torres, Traversa and Otranto2012), and production (Traversa et al. Reference Traversa, Romanucci, Di Cesare, Malatesta, Cassini, Iorio, Seghetti and Salda2014) animals. According with the one health approach (Cardiff et al. Reference Cardiff, Ward and Barthold2008; Osburn et al. Reference Osburn, Scott and Gibbs2009), the knowledge of the helminth species that parasitise wild mammals is essential to understanding the aetiology and life cycles of the helminths that occur in humans and other animals. With respect to the helminths of wildlife, there is a huge lack of knowledge about their occurrence, geographical distribution, degree of host specificity, and spillover potential for other groups.
With respect to the family Didelphidae, there is still a large gap regarding the helminth fauna of these marsupials, with many species without any record. Recently, some descriptions and taxonomic redescriptions (Chagas-Moutinho et al. Reference Chagas-Moutinho, Sant’anna, Oliveira-Menezesa and Souza2014; Costa-Neto et al. Reference Costa-Neto, Simões, Mota, Vilela, Lopes Torres, Barbosa, Gentile and Maldonado2016; Lopes Torres et al. Reference Lopes Torres, Maldonado, Anjos, Souza and Miranda2015), ecological studies (Andrade-Silva et al. Reference Andrade-Silva, Cardoso, Vilela, Campos Pacheco, Rossi, Mendonça, Maldonado and Gentile2023; Boullosa et al. Reference Boullosa, Cardoso, Costa-Neto, Teixeira, Freitas, Maldonado-Júnior and Gentile2020; Cardoso et al. Reference Cardoso, Costa-Neto, Braga, Weksler, Simões, Maldonado, Luque and Gentile2020; Cirino et al. Reference Cirino, Costa-Neto, Maldonado and Gentile2020; Reference Cirino, Costa-Neto, Cardoso, Estrela, Maldonado and Gentile2022; Costa-Neto et al. Reference Costa-Neto, Cardoso, Boullosa, Maldonado and Gentile2019; Freitas et al. Reference Freitas, Maldonado Júnior, Mendonça, Ramos, Rossi, Pacheco and Gentile2022a), and genetic studies (Souza et al. Reference Souza, Vilela, Gentile, Lopes Torres, Cordeiro-Estrela, Moratelli, Costa-Neto, Cardoso, Varella and Maldonado2022; Varella et al. Reference Varella, Vilela, Gentile, Cardoso, Costa-Neto and Maldonado2022) of helminths of Brazilian marsupials have been reported.
There is no complete checklist of helminths of marsupials in Brazil up to now. In this study, we present a compiled and updated species list of the helminth parasites of Brazilian marsupials, including their localities, sites of infection, and references. New geographic records and hosts of the helminth species are provided.
Material and methods
This species checklist was compiled using records published in the literature and published information obtained from the Helminthological Collection of the Instituto Oswaldo Cruz (CHIOC) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. A list of helminth parasitic species of marsupials from Brazil was generated from these records, including the host species, site of infection, locality, and reference. Publications up to December 2023 were included.
The literature review of helminth species reported in marsupials from Brazil was based on the following online databases: BioOne (2025), JSTOR (2025), PubMed, Scielo, Scopus, Web of Science (2025), CCN.IBICT (2025), Portal de Revistas Científicas em Ciências da Saúde, BNDigital (2025), Base Minerva - UFRJ (2025), Laboratório de Digitalização de Obras Raras – ICICT (2025), Obras Raras Fiocruz, Acervos ICICT Fiocruz (2025), Science History Institute Digital Collections (2025) and Portal de Periódicos CAPES, in addition to published monographs, dissertations, and theses. Records of unpublished theses or scientific meetings were not included.
The taxonomic classification and nomenclatural structure were applied according to Yamaguti (Reference Yamaguti1963), Schmidt (Reference Schmidt1972), Amin (Reference Amin, Crompton and Nickol1985, Reference Amin1987, Reference Amin2013), and Golvan (Reference Golvan1994) for acanthocephalans; Travassos (Reference Travassos1937), Yamaguti (Reference Yamaguti1961a, Reference Yamaguti1961b), Chabaud (Reference Chabaud, Anderson, Chabaud and Willmott1975, Reference Chabaud, Anderson, Chabaud and Willmott1978), Anderson and Bain (Reference Anderson, Bain, Anderson, Chabaud and Willmott1976), Anderson et al. (Reference Anderson1978), Vicente et al. (Reference Vicente, Rodrigues, Gomes and Pinto1997), and Anderson et al. (Reference Anderson, Chabaud and Willmott2009) for nematodes; Yamaguti (Reference Yamaguti1959a, Reference Yamaguti1959b), Khalil et al. (Reference Khalil, Jones and Bray1994), and Caira and Jensen (Reference Caira and Jensen2017) for cestodes; and Yamaguti (Reference Yamaguti1958), Yamaguti (Reference Yamaguti1971), Travassos et al. (Reference Travassos, Freitas and Kohn1969), Gibson et al. (Reference Gibson, Jones and Bray2002), Jones et al. (Reference Jones, Bray and Gibson2005), Bray et al. (Reference Bray, Gibson and Jones2008), Haverkost and Gardner (Reference Haverkost and Gardner2008), and Fernandes et al. (Reference Fernandes, Justo, Cárdenas and Cohen2015) for trematodes.
The helminth species are presented in alphabetical order and include, in addition to taxonomy (each record includes phylum, class, order, family, genus, species, author name, and year), locality, site of infection, life stage, and references in chronological order. Helminths recorded only at the genus level (indeterminate species) were also included. The species names follow the current taxonomic literature; therefore, some names have been corrected according to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN 1999).
A list of marsupial hosts in Brazil and their respective helminth parasites was also provided. The marsupial species are in alphabetical order. The classification and updated nomenclature of marsupials at the highest level followed Gardner (Reference Gardner2007), Cáceres (Reference Cáceres2012), Faria et al. (Reference Faria, Lanes and Bonvicino2019), Astua et al. (Reference Astúa, Cherem and Teta2023), Abreu et al. (Reference Abreu, Casali, Costa Araújo, Garbino, Libardi, Loretto, Loss, Marmontel, Moras, Nascimento, Oliveira, Pavan and Tirelli2024), and recent specific publications. As the species nomenclature follows the current taxonomic literature, some species names have been updated; thus, we included both the nomenclature of the publication and the current nomenclature.
The abbreviations for all localities cited in this article are as follows: Brazil – BR, Acre – AC, Amapá – AP, Amazonas – AM, Bahia – BA, Ceará – CE, Espírito Santo – ES, Mato Grosso – MT, Mato Grosso do Sul – MS, Minas Gerais – MG, Goiás – GO, Pará – PA, Paraíba – PB, Paraná – PR, Pernambuco – PE, Rio de Janeiro – RJ, Rio Grande do Sul – RS, Santa Catarina – SC, São Paulo – SP, Sergipe – SE, and Tocantins – TO.
Results
This study included 1,047 records, 620 (59.21%) of which were Nematoda, 375 (35.81%) of which were Platyhelminthes (284 of the class Trematoda and 91 of the class Cestoda), and 52 (4.97%) of which were Acanthocephala (Supplementary Table S1). Among the marsupial species that occur in Brazil, 22 of them have been recorded as being parasitised by helminth species (Supplementary Table S2). Five records in which the marsupial host was undetermined were also included. The present list includes 93 identified helminth species that parasitise Brazilian marsupials, 30 of which are of the phylum Platyhelminthes (22 of the class Trematoda and 8 of the class Cestoda), 5 of which are of the phylum Acanthocephala, and 58 of which are of the phylum Nematoda. In addition, 51 other an incompletely identified species (morphospecies) was reported.
The most cited species were the nematode Cruzia tentaculata (Rudolphi Reference Rudolphi1819) Travassos, 1917, with 70 records, followed by the trematode Rhopalias coronatus (Rudolphi Reference Rudolphi1819) Stiles and Hassall, 1898, with 69 records, the acanthocephalan Oligacanthorhynchus microcephalus (Rudolphi Reference Rudolphi1819) Schmidt, Reference Schmidt1972, with 49 records, and the cestode Mathevotaenia bivittata (Janicki Reference Janicki1904) Akhumian, 1946, with 34 records. The host with the largest number of helminth species was Didelphis aurita Wied-Neuwied, 1826, with 74 records.

Discussion
The first records of marsupial helminths in Brazil appeared in the first decades of the 19th century in the studies of Rudolphi (Reference Rudolphi1819). Diesing (Reference Diesing1851) subsequently included the endoparasites of Neotropical marsupials in the ‘Systema Helminthum’. In Brazil, the parasitologist Lauro Pereira Travassos (1890–1970), considered the founder of the ‘Escola Helmintológica Brasileira’, initiated the first studies in the early 20th century with wild vertebrates. His studies contributed significantly to the knowledge of helminths in Brazil, reporting species of the phyla Acanthocephala, Nematoda, and Platyhelminthes parasitising Brazilian marsupials. Subsequently, several researchers from Brazil (Luiz Viana, Manoel Cavalcante Proença, Herman Lent, João Ferreira Texeira de Freitas, Domingos Arthur Machado Filho, Zeferino Vaz, Clemente Pereira, Joaquim Júlio Vicente, Delir Correa Gomes, Dely Noronha, Roberto Regis Magalhães Pinto, Laerte Grisi, Paulo Telles de Castro) and from other countries (Carolo Asmund Rudolphi, Carolo Mauritio Diesing, Marie-Claude Durette-Desset, Railliet) contributed significantly to the advance in the taxonomy and systematics of helminths in Brazil.
In the 1950s and 1960s, several important studies were performed, such as the ‘Systema Helminthum’ by Yamaguti in three volumes (1958 – Trematoda, 1959 – Cestoda, and 1961 – Nematoda), significantly increasing the number of published studies on endoparasites of the order Didelphimorphia. In 1965, Lauro Travassos published ‘Contribuição para o inventário crítico da zoologia no Brasil. Fauna helmintológica: considerações preliminares – Cestódeos’. Travassos, Freitas, and Konh (1969) subsequently published the review ‘Trematódeos do Brazil’. From that date onward, several other studies have been published, especially those from the Laboratory of Helminth Parasites of Vertebrates of the Oswaldo Cruz Institute, which contributed to the identification of several species of helminths of Brazilian marsupials, including the publications by Vicente (Reference Vicente1966); Gomes and Pinto (Reference Gomes and Pinto1972); Pinto and Gomes (Reference Pinto and Gomes1976); Gomes (Reference Gomes1977); Pinto and Gomes (Reference Pinto and Gomes1978); Gomes and Pinto (Reference Gomes and Pinto1978); Gomes, (Reference Gomes1979a; Reference Gomesb); Pinto and Gomes (Reference Pinto and Gomes1980); Vicente et al. (Reference Vicente, Gomes and Araujo-Filho1982); Vicente et al. (Reference Vicente, Rodrigues, Steindel, Padovani and Schlemper1987); Santos et al. (Reference Santos, Lent and Gomes1990); Vicente et al. (Reference Vicente, Rodrigues, Gomes and Pinto1997); Noronha et al. (Reference Noronha, Vicente and Pinto2001); Noronha et al. (Reference Noronha, Vicente and Pinto2002); and Gomes et al. (Reference Gomes, Cruz, Vicente and Pinto2003). These were the first studies to summarise, respectively, the acanthocephalans, platyhelminths, and nematode parasites of mammals and are the main references for the identification of helminths.
Compilations of helminth species from Brazilian marsupials have been made by Travassos et al. (Reference Travassos1965) for the Class Cestoda with six reported species, Travassos et al. (Reference Travassos, Freitas and Kohn1969) for the Class Trematoda with 13 reported species, and Vicente et al. (Reference Vicente, Rodrigues, Gomes and Pinto1997) for the Phylum Nematoda with 37 reported species.
Species of the genus Didelphis stand out not only because they have the largest number of parasitic helminth species but also because they are wild species with synanthropic habits, occurring close to urban areas, and may represent a connection between natural and anthropic environments. Some studies have reported that some helminth species can cause serious injuries to their hosts, such as helminths of the genera Gnathostoma, which occurs in the stomach (Albuquerque et al. Reference Albuquerque, Lanfredi, Teixeira, Rodrigues and Lopes2007), and Heterostrongylus, which occurs in the lung (Costa-Neto et al. Reference Costa-Neto, Simões, Mota, Vilela, Lopes Torres, Barbosa, Gentile and Maldonado2016), both in opossums of the species Didelphis aurita.
