Abstract

Between June 2020 and May 2021, were recorded in the department of Risaralda, Colombia an individual of the species Nasua nasua in the village of La Linea and two individuals of the species Potos flavus, one of them in the village of Agua Linda in the same municipality and another one in the village " The Estanquillo” of the Dosquebradas municipality, which presented skin conditions in different regions of the body. The causes are not described; however, it is proposed to study the influence of diseases transmitted by domestic animals as a possible source of the observed skin conditions.
