“…Travassos et al (1969) reported presence of P. ovatus in various wild species in the Brazilian territory. In Rio Grande do Sul, P. ovatus was reported by Monteiro et al (2007) parasitizing Dendrocygna bicolor (Vieillot 1816), Netta peposaca (Vieillot 1816) (Anseriformes: Anatidae), and Phalacrocorax brasilianus (Gmelin 1789) (Pelecaniformes: Phalacrocoracidae).…”

With the objective of identifying the helminths of Paroaria coronata, 40 birds were necropsied, and their organs and contents were examined. The parasites were preserved in 70 masculineGL alcohol and prepared for identification using standard techniques. The helminth fauna found in P. coronata were Aproctella carinii, Dispharynx nasuta, Capillaria sp., Diplotriaena sp., Tanaisia oviaspera, Tanaisia valida, Tanaisia sp., Prosthogonimus ovatus, Orthoskrjabinia sp., and Mediorhynchus sp., with Nematoda being most represented, occurring in 22.5% of the birds. Besides being the first record of these helminths in P. coronata, this work also extends the area of occurrence of Orthoskrjabinia sp. for Brazil and of A. carinii, Diplotriaena sp., T. oviaspera, T. valida, and Mediorhynchus sp. for the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

“…In Brazil, P. ovatus were registered in the bursa of Fabricius of Gallus gallus domesticus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Galliformes: Phasianidae) (n = 17) P = 17.6% and in wild birds: Theristicus caerulescens (Vieillot, 1817) (n = 6) P = 16.6%; Mesembrinibis cayennensis (Gmelin, 1789) (n = 3) P = 33.3% (Pelecaniformes: Threskiornithidae); Piaya cayana (Linnaeus, 1766) (Cuculiformes: Cuculidae) (n = 3) P = 33.3%; Monasa nigrifrons (Spix, 1824) (Galbuliformes: Bucconidae) (n = 10) P = 10.0% Cyanocorax cyanomelas (Vieillot, 1818) (Passeriformes: Corvidae) (n = 4) P = 25.0% Xiphorhynchus guttatus (Lichtenstein, 1820) (Passeriformes: Dendrocolaptidae) (n = 1) P = 100% (TRAVASSOS, 1928;TRAVASSOS et al, 1969). Kohn & Fernandes (1972) In Rio Grande do Sul, Monteiro et al (2007) identified P. ovatus in waterbirds, Dendrocygna bicolor (Vieillot, 1816) (n = 33), P = 3.0% and MI = 1; and Netta peposaca (Vieillot, 1816) (n = 20), P = 15.0% and MI = 4.3 (Anseriformes: Anatidae); and in Phalacrocorax brasilianus (Gmelin, 1789) (n = 47), P = 2.1% and MI = 1 (Suliformes: Phalacrocoracidae). Mascarenhas et al (2009) identified it in Paroaria coronata (Miller, 1776) (n = 40), P = 7.5% and MI = 3 (Passeriformes: Thraupidae).…”

Information about helminths of Molothrus bonariensis (Gmelin, 1789) (Passeriformes: Icteridae) are scarce; in this sense the objective of this paper was to contribute to its knowledge. Five hosts of southern Brazil were examined and the helminths Prosthogonimus ovatus, Tanaisia valida (Digenea), Diplotriaena bargusinica and Synhimantus (Dispharynx) nasuta ( Keywords: Shiny cowbird, Trematoda, Nematoda, parasites. ResumoInformações sobre helmintos de Molothrus bonariensis (Gmelin, 1789) (Passeriformes: Icteridae) são escassas, nesse sentido, o objetivo do trabalho foi contribuir para esse conhecimento. Foram examinados cinco hospedeiros do extremo sul do Brasil, identificou-se os helmintos Prosthogonimus ovatus, Tanaisia valida (Digenea), Diplotriaena bargusinica e Synhimantus (Dispharynx) nasuta (Nematoda). As espécies T. valida, P. ovatus e S. (D.) nasuta são pela primeira vez registradas para a ave no Brasil. Prosthogonimus ovatus, T. valida, D. bargusinica e S. (D.) nasuta são pela primeira vez registradas em M. bonariensis no estado do Rio Grande do Sul.Palavras-chave: Vira-bosta, Trematoda, Nematoda, parasitos. Parasites are among the most common organisms in the world (HOBERG & KUTZ, 2013). They are extremely diversified and play a key role in ecological and evolutionary processes (GOMÉZ & NICHOLS, 2013). Parasitism is one of the most successful ways of living presented by living organisms (POULIN & MORAND, 2000).Birds are commonly parasitized by trematodes, nematodes, cestodes and acanthocephalans, as well as other groups . Taking into account the fact that Brazil presents one of the richest avifaunas in the world, much remains to be explored regarding this subject.Molothrus bonariensis (Gmelin, 1789) (Passeriformes: Icteridae), known as the shiny cowbird, occurs in South America, islands of Central America, United States and Canada (The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, 2015). In the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, they inhabit the entire state, where enormous flocks often gather in cereal crops, especially rice, during and after harvesting (BELTON, 1994). The male is black-feathered with bluish reflexes, and the female is brown. They feed on seeds and insects, and occasionally on fruits, and often can be seen near to cattle, turning over excrement to look for undigested seeds (EFE et al., 2001).Information regarding the shiny cowbird is mainly focused on the fact that this species lays its eggs in other birds' nests. In Brazil, approximately 60 species belonging to nine families of Passeriformes are affected by the action of the shiny cowbird. This species is entirely dependent on other bird species for its reproduction, because it has not only lost the ability to build its own nests but also the instinct of taking care of its offspring (BLANCO, 1995;SICK, 1997; EFE et al., 2001;MERMOZ & REBOREDA, 2003;ASTIÉ & REBOREDA, 2006).Regarding helminths in M. bonariensis in Brazil, there have been isolated reports of Lyperosomum oswaldoi (Travassos, 1919) (Trematoda: Dicrocoeliidae) (TRAVASSOS ...

“…Libélulas da subordem Anisoptera foram citadas como segundo hospedeiro intermediário do Prosthogonimus ovatus, um trematódeo digenético parasito de aves, e metacercárias foram encontradas em diferentes fases de desenvolvimento no tegumento do inseto (Boddeke, 1960). Essa espécie Prosthogonimus ovatus foi encontrada como parasita de três espécies de aves aquáticas na região Sul do Brasil (Monteiro et al, 2007) e como parasita de passeriforme na região Sul do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil (Mascarenhas, 2008). Uma amostragem de 1.671 caracóis foi dissecada, sendo encontrada uma frequência de cercárias entre 2,3 e 12,8%.…”

). The frequency of trematodes present in the snails varied of 2.3 to 12.8% in the collected regions. Three types of cercariae were found, morphology type 1, morphology type 2 and morphology type 3, and two morphologic type of metacercariae of the snails. A total of 357 insects of the Odonata order were collected, stages of metacercariae had been found in the tissues of suborder Anisoptera with 5.3% of frequency. More studies are necessary for identification of the joined larval phases, as well as knowing the host definitive and identifying the adult parasite and the relation of its cycle of life with the occurrence of equine monocytic ehrlichiosis.
