Abstract: This study reported the pulmonary, microbiological, and hematological alterations in Crotalus durissus terrificus parasitized by nematodes of the genus Rhabdias. Histological, microbiological, and hematological analysis were performed on parasitized (n=6) and non-parasitized (n=6) snakes. Granulocytic and mononuclear cell infiltrates in the pulmonary parenchyma and epithelium were also observed during the histological analysis of parasitized snakes. Microbiological analysis of parasitized animals revealed the … Show more

“…Plasma of N. naja was heterogeneous and is similar to all other vertebrates, containing a variety of different substances in different amounts and some containing trace quantities. Hematological and biochemical values vary depending on factors such as age, gender, life stages and other physiological conditions and reptiles have lower RBC counts than that of mammals and birds, in fact turtles have the lowest [ 16 , 22 , 32 , 35 , 38 41 ]. Our findings on hematological and morphological characterization of blood cells of healthy N. naja could be used as a reference in clinical examinations of the Sri Lankan populations.…”

“…Recent publications involving studies of the genus Rhabdias in South America are limited to records of new hosts, and reports of known species and their pathological effects on hosts (Araú jo et al, 1999;Boquimpani-Freitas et al, 2001;Silva et al, 2001Silva et al, , 2007Luque et al, 2005;Santos et al, 2008).…”

“…Es conocido en los reptiles que el estrés de la cautividad puede conducir a enfermedades graves (Mihalca, 2010;Santos et al, 2008;QuesadaMorúa, 2005;Modrý et al, 2001), y en estudios provenientes de serpientes en cautiverio, el endoparasitismo ha sido una de las enfermedades mayormente reportadas (Pinto et al, 2010;Junker et al, 2009;Seghetti y Traversa, 2007) encontrándose entre estos hallazgos: nemátodos (Silva et al, 2007;Siqueira et al, 2005), céstodos (Gómez-Puerta, 2011;Sánchez et al, 2004), pentastómidos (Ayinmode et al, 2010;Gárate et al, 2007), protozoos (Matsubara et al, 2002), entre otros.…”
