Abstract: External and gastrointestinal parasites of the rufous-collared sparrow AbstractA total of 277 rufous-collared sparrows, Zonotrichia capensis Müller, 1776 (Emberizidae), were examined for external parasites. The birds were captured using mist nets in seven locations in northern and central Chile. Additionally, seven carcasses from central Chile (the Biobío region) were necropsied to evaluate the presence of endoparasite infection. Ectoparasites were found on 35.8% (99/277) of the examined birds and they were re… Show more

“…has been recorded from this host in Peru and Brazil (Tantaleán et al, 2005;Santos et al, 2020a). In Chile, M. papillosus has been reported in the rufous-collared sparrow Zonotrichia capensis (Müller, 1776) (Passerellidae) (Llanos- Soto et al, 2017) and from the shiny cowbird, Molothrus bonariensis (Gmelin, 1789) (Icteridae) (Mena et al, 2020). This parasite has an indirect life cycle, with darkling beetles (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) acting as intermediate hosts (Amin & Dailey, 1998).…”

“…Multiple metrics of body condition were measured: (a) fat (0 = “no fat” to 6 = “heavy fat”) by visual inspection of subcutaneous fat in the furculum and abdomen; (b) pectoral muscle profile (0 = “prominent edge of the keel” to 4 = “fully developed muscle”; (c) parasite load (0 = “no parasites” to 4 = “heavy parasite load”) according to the amount of parasites (i.e., feather mites Amerodectes zonotrichiae , Llanos‐Soto et al., ) found in flight feathers by visual inspection; and (d) haematocrit percentage. Considering these measurements are qualitative, all the body condition variables in this study were assessed by three observers who received the same training.…”
