Abstract: The present study analyzed gastrointestinal helminth communities in 265 wild pigeons (Columba livia) living in the municipalities of São Paulo and Tatuí, state of São Paulo, Brazil, over a one-year period. The birds were caught next to grain storage warehouses and were necropsied. A total of 790 parasites comprising one nematode species and one cestode genus were recovered from 110 pigeons, thus yielding an overall prevalence of 41.5%, mean intensity of infection of 7.2 ± 1.6 (range 1-144) and discrepancy inde… Show more

“…This may be attributable to the type of husbandry practice where domestic pigeons are housed in lofts or nestling cages and not reared on the floor, which may enhance sporulation of Eimeria oocysts before infection can occur. This finding agreed with other studies in Nigeria by Muhammed et al (2019) and in Brazil by Vaz et al (2017), which showed helminth parasites to be a problem in domestic and feral pigeons more than GIT protozoan parasites. The rates of occurrence of helminthiasis in other types of poultry are lower than that of GIT protozoan diseases.…”
