The decrease in natural habitats due to the growth of human population, as well as the presence of domestic animals in wild areas, has increased the risk of disseminating diseases among domestic dogs and wild canids, such as the maned wolf, implying a threat to One Health. Aiming to demonstrate the sharing of diseases common to these two species, the main databases were searched, considering studies published from 2008 to 2023. It was observed that the illness with the highest number of cases in the wild species is canine distemper, being observed in more than one Brazilian state and in neighbouring countries. However, most of the animals did not show symptoms of the disease, making it difficult to control this and other illnesses that can affect the maned wolf. This study proved to be relevant for the mapping of infectious diseases shared among canids, allowing a greater understanding of contagion, enabling control and prevention actions directed to One Health.
