“…Leptinaria unilamellata is considered cosmopolitan, with distribution expanded mainly by anthropic action (Araújo 1982). In Brazil, it occurs in the states of Amazonas, Pará, Rondônia, Mato Grosso, Alagoas, Pernambuco, Bahia, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul (Morretes 1949, Araújo 1982, Agudo-Padrón 2008, Araújo & Keller 1993, Salvador et al 2018, Silva et al 2019. According to Cowie et al (2017), Allopeas micrum has a natural distribution in the Caribbean, Central and North America.…”

Our main objective was to perform a preliminary survey of the non-marine gastropods at the Estação Biológica Fiocruz Mata Atlântica (EFMA) and its adjacent urban areas, also considering samples from other localities of the Parque Estadual da Pedra Branca received as donation, in Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil. Infection by larval helminths of medical and veterinary importance was also investigated in 348 specimens of fi ve freshwater species and two specimens of the terrestrial species Achatina fulica. In all, 584 samples of molluscs from 34 collection sites were obtained. They represented 31 species classifi ed in 16 families. Fifteen species were exclusive to the EFMA area. In the urban area mainly exotic and/or synanthropic species were found. Some of them were found in the forest border as well. The freshwater Biomphalaria tenagophila, an intermediate host of the trematode that causes schistosomiasis mansoni, was found parasitized by Xiphidiocercarie cercariae and the Afro-asiatic Melanoides tuberculata by Pleurolophocercus cercaria. The fi nding of endemic and exotic species, including transmitters of parasites, demonstrate the importance of fast surveys such as the present study. However, considering the great diversity of endemic molluscs found in a relatively small part of the EFMA, we highlight the necessity of further additional studies.

“…To acquire an infection, the bird must ingest the infective form of the parasite, the metacercariae encysted in the tissues of infected mollusks. The mollusks reported as the intermediate hosts for Paratanaisia in Brazil are the land snails Leptinaria unilamellata (KELLER & ARAÚJO, 1992) and Subulina octona (BRANDOLINI & AMATO, 2006), which are very small, 4-5 mm and 13 mm, respectively (ARAÚJO & BESSA, 1993;ARAÚJO & KELLER, 1993). These species are commonly observed in shaded and humid places such as under rock and plant surfaces and in construction cracks (ARAÚJO & BESSA, 1993).…”

Digenetic eucotylids of the Paratanaisia genus are widely reported parasites of the avian renal system. The infection, commonly reported in free-living and zoo-housed birds, is described for the first time in a domiciled bird, a cockatiel kept as pet bird with free access to the yard outdoors. The bird was received at Veterinary Hospital, where clinical and radiographic evaluations suggested a case of heavy-metal poisoning. Although the bird received supportive care and a chelating agent, it died the next day. The necropsy showed friable kidneys and congestion of blood vessels in structures such as the skin, proventriculus, brain, and skullcap. The histopathological evaluation of the kidneys revealed multifocal hemorrhages, commonly found in cases of heavy-metal poisoning. Parasitic structures similar to those of the digenean trematodes Paratanaisia spp. were also observed inside dilated collecting ducts, which presented epithelial cell flattening and vacuolization. There was compression of adjacent tissue and discrete fibrotic areas. In the presence of intermediate hosts in the yard, the synanthropic nature of some wild free-living birds could make them a source of trematodes infection and dissemination for pet birds. Conversely, the infected cockatiel could also have served as a reservoir and carrier of trematodes to wild free-living birds.
