“…In Brazil specifically, commercial rearing of ostriches is gaining greater economic importance due to the birds' good environmental adaptation and, in particular, the potential for profitability. On the other hand, a variety of species may parasitize ostriches (CARRER, 2004;VIEIRA-DA-MOTTA et al, 2008).…”

On the other hand, a variety of species may parasitize ostriches (CARRER, 2004;VIEIRA-DA-MOTTA et al, 2008).Nematodes of the genus Libyostrongylus (L. douglassii, L. dentatus and L. magnus), belonging to the family Trichostrongylidae, are hematophagous and therefore are considered to be pathogenic towards ostriches. The disease caused by these nematodes causes rotting of the stomach, and is known as "vrotmaag" in South Africa, where it is responsible for the mortality of more than 50% of juvenile ostriches (REINECKE, 1983).…”

“…Possíveis explicações para a falha do mecanismo de produção do ânion superóxido nos avestruzes 1-|30 dias incluem anormalidades na ativação do complexo enzimático NADPH oxidase, deficiência da enzima glicose-6-fosfatodesidrogenase e atividade anormal ou deficiente da proteína quinase C. O resultado pode estar relacionado à alta mortalidade dos avestruzes nos primeiros 90 dias de vida (MOTTA et al, 2008), quando a menor geração de reativos derivados de oxigênio tornaria as aves nessa faixa etária mais susceptíveis à infecção.…”
