RESUMO

Leopardus geoffroyi (Geoffroy's cat) is a neotropical feline considered globally threatened. In Brazil, it occurs exclusively in the Pampa biome. Its predatory habits contribute to the infection, dispersion, and continuation of the life cycle of various pathogens, including helminths, within ecosystems. However, few studies involving cestodes in wild felines are found in the literature, especially in Brazil. Therefore, we aimed to report the first case of parasitism by Hydatigera taeniaeformis in L. geoffroyi. The helminths were found in the small intestine of the necropsied feline. Specimens were analyzed morphometrically and subjected to molecular analyses for taxonomic identification. The molecular phylogeny based on the analysis of the mitochondrial gene (COX1) allowed the identification of these parasites. Thus, this is the first description of H. taeniaeformis parasitizing L. geoffroyi in Brazil. Consequently, the number of known host species parasitized by this helminth in the country and the world is increased. Additionally, a new molecular sequence is being provided, contributing to the knowledge of Hydatigera in South America.
