Ribosomal, mitochondrial and bacterial (Wolbachia) reference sequences for Dipetalonema gracile obtained from a wild pied tamarin (Saguinus bicolor) host in Manaus, Brazil

ABSTRACT The primates that inhabit the rainforest surrounding city of Manaus (Amazonas, Brazil) have long been recognised as potentially important reservoirs emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases (ERIDs). PCR amplification filarial sequences from wild-caught Simulium oyapockense has used to incriminate Amazon-region ERID bridge vectors by showing they had previously fed on non-human primates. broader use parasite for incrimination biting insects zoonotic disease is limited a paucity primate-derived reference which can be matched amplified obtained insect-vector vectors. Here we shotgun sequencing obtain data an adult Dipetalonema gracile was found infecting wild pied tamarin (Saguinus bicolor) in peripheral region Manaus. We report parasite´s complete mitochondrial genome (which 13,647 base pairs length), 894,846 its Wolbachia 6,426 ribosomal DNA locus (spanning start 18S subunit end 28S subunit). Despite being critically endangered, S. bicolor commonly encountered around periphery urban forest fragments. reported may useful tool identifying provide some insights into amount nature contact between primate pathogen residents
