“…At least 280 worms were recovered from a single Nestor meridionalis, but no history was provided other than the bird was dead (Clark et al 1979, Greiner andRitchie 1999). Tetrameres americana was reported from the blue and gold macaw (Ara ararauna) in the lumen of the proventriculus as well as fistulated nodules in the proventriculus wall, in Brazil (Silva et al 2005). In the Chilean Cyanoramphus case, the tetramerid nematode infestation was limited.…”

RESUMENA pesar de su importancia, la fauna helmíntica de aves psitácidas ha sido poco investigada en Chile. En el presente estudio se reporta la presencia de Tetrameres sp. en Cyanoramphus novaezelandiae, de Schistorophus sp. en Platycercus flaveolus y de Dispharynx nasuta en P. flaveolus, Platycercus eximius, Platycercus elegans, Polytelis alexandrae, y C. novaezelandiae en diferentes aviarios de la Región Metropolitana de Chile. Los primeros casos de Ascaridia platyceri en P. eximius y C. novaezelandiae son también descritos. Ascaridia platyceri y D. nasuta fueron implicados como la causa de enfermedades serias y fatales en estas aves psitácidas exóticas, mientras que Schistorophus sp. y Tetrameres sp. fueron clínicamente menos significativos.

This study describes the parasites and related pathologic observations in the house sparrow (Passer domesticus). In total, 48 birds were examined and 41 sparrows were found to be infected with one or more endoparasites (85.4%). The most common parasites were liver trematodes identified as Brachydistomum microscelis and Brachydistomum gracupicae. In addition, coccidia and a cestode (Infula spp.) were observed. In one bird, one female Tetrameres sp. and one female Microtetrameres sp. were found in the proventriculus. No blood parasite was found after examination of the blood smears. No gross pathologic lesion was seen in the organs except for the proventriculus, gut, and liver. At histologic examination small necrotic areas and inflammatory reactions were seen in the liver and the gastrointestinal system related to the parasites. Incidentally, anthracosis was diagnosed in 23 and mild pneumonia in 12 of the lungs.
