| 2008 Ciencia Rural, Santa Maria (38): 546-547 | |
_Leopardus wiedii_ (gato-maracaj ) is a neotropical mammal with has a wide distribution in Brazil. In the municipality of Cachoeira do Sul, RS, a fecal sample from a specimen captured for treatment was collected and analyzed by the centrifugal-flotation method with zinc sulfate for research of parasites. A large number of cysts of _Giardia_ sp. and oocysts of _Cryptosporidium_ sp. was observed. The results indicate that _L. wiedii_ is a host of these protozoa. |
