Names Shaw, George (1751-1813) (Author) Collection Results from this study support the possibility that the handling and consumption of these species by the local Isoseño-Guarani people may have a public health impact.TitleThree-banded Armadillo Nine-banded Armadillo. A number of endo- and ectoparasites were identified in/on both species of armadillos. Two of eight (25%) nine-banded armadillos were antigen positive for D. Nine-banded armadillos were antibody positive for T.
Two of 12 (16.7%) three-banded armadillos tested were antigen positive for Dirofilaria immitis. Three-banded armadillos were antibody positive for Eastern equine encephalitis virus (8/8 100%) and Saint Louis encephalitis virus (5/8 62.5%). leprae were negative in three-banded (n = 8) and nine-banded (n = 2) armadillos. The blood value results from a subset of these armadillos are presented as baseline values for free-ranging populations of both these species in Bolivia. However, many of the nine-banded armadillos (64%) had abrasions and wounds, probably related to the capture method. Based on clinical findings, the general health of these armadillos was rated as good. A health assessment that included physical examinations, hematology, plasma biochemical analyses, levels of exposure to selected infectious agents, and endoparasite and ectoparasite identification was performed on nine-banded and three-banded armadillos in the Gran Chaco, Bolivia. Armadillos are known carriers of zoonotic pathogens, including Mycobacterium leprae, Toxoplasma gondii, and Trypanosoma cruzi thus human handling and consumption of these species may have a significant public health impact. There are 34 clawed toes on the forefeet, with the third claw being. The tail, as well as the head shield, are triangular in shape. Its carapace is rigid, dome-shaped, generally sandy-yellow to brown, and has 24 movable bands. The Gran Chaco, Bolivia, has a total of seven species of armadillos with the three-banded (Tolypeutes matacus) and nine-banded (Dasypus novemcinctus) the most commonly hunted by the local Isoseño-Guarani people. The Southern three-banded armadillo has a head-body length of 2025 cm and weighs around 12 kg.
