The National Action Plans for Endangered Species in Brazil have been an important management tool for conservation. The planning of actions aimed at cetaceans began in 1997, however, despite issues related to the health of cetaceans already signaling a concern from the beginning, only in the current cycle (2019-2024) specific actions for the identification of pathogens were included. This study aimed to carry out a survey of pathogens with potential impact on marine cetaceans in Brazil, including those already reported in the country and those that may be identified. The work survey was carried out on multiple platforms and without period restriction, however it was not a search based on a systematic approach. Viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites with potential impact were identified, which could affect the longevity, reproduction or cause mortality of the species, in addition to some having zoonotic potential. The survey elucidates the diversity of pathogens that can affect cetaceans, as well as serving as a basis for monitoring the health parameters of marine fauna in the face of concerns about future scenarios related to emerging diseases. With this, it is concluded that for the conservation of cetaceans in Brazil it is important to carry out the review study, as a baseline for the identification of pathogens that may affect cetacean populations in the country. In addition, encourage the implementation of disease diagnoses in specimens accessed by research institutions, always reporting information to guide the management and conservation of these mammals.
