The lack of reports of human infections caused by the consumption of this animal could be related to the prolonged cooking time of armadillo meat.
Two domestic dogs and one domestic cat were also infected, whereas in the wild, 7 of 11 examined armadillos were infected.
These results are consistent with burrow survey data that provided indirect evidence of higher armadillo densities on larger landmasses.
Small islands were completely censused for armadillo burrows.
This is especially true for the vast majority of small mammals, armadillos, felids and canids.
On 56 occasions, traps were damaged, mostly by armadillos, which escaped out of the traps by prying the door open.
On medium and large islands, young colonies are preyed upon by armadillos and few survive to reach maturity.
Although no non-human sources of infection have been established, naturally occurring infection in monkeys and armadillos has been reported.
