Abstract: Espécimes adultos de Paratanaisia bragai foram coletados de ductos renais de Columba livia infectados naturalmente, fixados em glutaraldeído 2,5% e processados para microscopia eletrônica de varredura. Foram identificados dois tipos distintos de escamas, escamas bífidas e simples, dispostas em fileiras transversais no tegumento das faces dorsal e ventral do corpo. Também mostrando em detalhes a ventosa oral subterminal, bem desenvolvida e acetábulo de tamanho reduzido, localizado no terço médio do corpo, circu… Show more

“…It is found in rock pigeons, Columbia livia , in renal tubules (Brandolina and Amato, 2007), The large number of trematodes in the current cases is a common pattern of this infection (Menezes et al, 2001; Pinto et al, 2004; Gomes et al, 2005; Brener et al, 2006). However, the severity and pattern of the microscopic lesions seem not to be associated with the size of the worm burden but could be related to the size of the parasites, site of the infection, parasite strain and host.…”

“…The three species have similar morphological and morphometrical features (TRAVASSOS et al, 1969). However, Freitas (1951) states that the tegument covering is an important morphological characteristic with diagnostic value, as P. robusta and P bragai have scaly teguments (TRAVASSOS et al, 1969;BRANDOLINI & AMATO, 2007), while P. confusa presents spiny tegument (TRAVASSOS et al, 1969).…”

“…There were ellipsoid brownish eggs (Figures 2A and 2B). The parasites were characterized as P. confusa mainly because their typical spiny tegument, not seen in other congeneric species, which have scales covering the tegument (TRAVASSOS et al, 1969;BRANDOLINI & AMATO, 2007).…”
