“…According Borgsteede (1996), parasites affects wild animals in feeding, reproduction or killing also. In this sense, free-living and captive wild birds can be parasitized by many helminth species, whose effects range from asymptomatic infections up to the host's death (Carneiro et al, 2011).…”

Helminths are endoparasites that infect a variety of bird species. Endoparasite infections can cause severe diseases, including kill captive avian hosts and represents a problem to maintenance and conservation. The eggs and larval forms of these parasites are usually eliminated in the host feces. The main interest of this study is to report the occurrence of eggs and oocysts in feces from captive wild birds in Goiânia Zoo and free-living birds in its surroundings. The fecal samples were subjected to parasitological examination to identify the presence of helminths and to classify their eggs based on morphological characteristics. Eggs of nematode parasites (Positive/N) were identified as Ascaridia spp. in Brotogeris chiriri (2/2), Dromaius novaehollandiae (1/1) and Rhea americana (2/2); Ascarididae in Pavo cristatus nigripensis (1/1); Capillaria spp. in Ara chloropterus (1/1) and Penelope jacucaca (1/1); Capillaria plagiaticia in Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus (1/2) and Ara spp. (2/2); Capillaria venusta in Rhamphastus tucanus (1/2); and unidentified nematode eggs from Amazona amazonica (2/2). Eimeria spp. oocyst was founded in feces from A. hyacinthinus (1/2). Considering free-living birds, Diphyllobothrium spp. eggs were founded in Ardea alba (2/2) and Nycticorax nycticorax (2/3). Co-infection of Eustrongylides spp. was founded in A. alba (1/2). This is the first occurrence of: Ascaridia spp. parasitizing B. chiriri; and C. venusta parasitizing R. tucanus. In conclusion, the helminth eggs found in the abovementioned host bird species are consistent with those reported in the literature, and treatment and control protocols were based on their identification.

“…Due to the method envolved a qualitative analysis study, it is not possible to classify if one species presented a higher parasitic load than another, however according to the results showed in Table 2, we can conclude that there are positive animals in all species, being Aix galericulata, Aix sponsa, Tadorna cana, Tadorna ferruginea, Tadorna radjah, Tadorna variegate, Lophodytes cucullatus in both collections while Anser Abyssinia, Chloephaga melanoptera, Chloephaga picta, Chenonetta jubata, Tadorna tadornas, Tadorna tadornoides, only in one. Carneiro et al(2011) also evalueted the presence of parasites in birds using the qualitative percentage existing in the species, although it is noway to evaluete in this present study, if one specie presented a higher infecction than another, because the method was not quantitative.…”

“…With the aim of obtaining results of greater representativeness regarding the endoparasites presented in the birds examined (given the impossibility of individual sampling), feces pools were collected per species (enclosure) at two different times. This procedure had previously been used in other studies on birds in captivity (Carneiro et al, 2011).…”

The objective of the present study was to identify the intestinal parasites with the highest prevalence in anatids that were reared extensively in the city of São Paulo, through coproparasitological examinations. Fecal samples (n=108) were collected at two times, with an interval of two months between them, during the year 2018. The samples were constituted from a pool of feces, and one sample was collected from each enclosure. The samples were identified as belonging to 13 species of anatids (Aix galericulata, Aix sponsa, Anser abyssinia, Chenonetta jubata, Chloephaga melanoptera, Chloephaga picta, Lophodytes cucullatus, Tadorna cana, Tadorna ferrugínea, Tadorna radjah, Tadorna tadorna, Tadorna tadornoide and Tadorna variegata). Samples of birds with or without clinical symptoms of endoparasitosis were then collected. The Coproplus® test was used to make the coproparasitological diagnosis and subsequently the material was examined individually, at Santo Amaro University in São Paulo. It was observed that 48.14% of the enclosures had birds infected by one or more endoparasites. Parasites of the order Coccidia presented the highest prevalence (22.22%), followed by those of the orders Trichuroidea (10.18%) and Ascaridia (4.63%). Moreover, Balantidium sp. was found, the cycle and relevance of these ciliates in birds is uncertain.

“…is more frequent in Passeriformes, Psittaciformes and Piciformes, while Eimeria spp. is mostly found in Galliformes and Columbiformes (Greiner and Ritchie, 1994) Similarly, coccidian oocysts were identified in the excreta of wild birds in the city of Seropédica, RJ (Costa et al, 2010) and also birds (green-winged saltators, seedeaters, cockattos, canaries and grosbeaks) from private breeders in the city of Alegre -ES (Carneiro et al, 2011). Isospora spp.…”

“…Among the numerous sanitary issues affecting the wild and exotic birds kept in captivity, the parasitic diseases are one of the most frequent, and the effect they produce range from sub clinical infections to death (Carneiro et al, 2011). Among the parasitic diseases, coccidiosis, the intestinal protozoan disease, caused by Eimeria and Isospora species are important in ornamental birds, whereas Isospora are the most common species in Psittaciformes (Greiner and Ritchie, 1994).…”

Pets have been associated with emotional and physical benefits for their owners, and among these, ornamental birds can bring positive influences on quality of life. On the contrary, they harbor pathogenic micro-organisms of public health importance. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the presence of Salmonella spp. and intestinal parasites in 52 samples of excreta of passerines and parrots from breeders in the city of Umuarama, Paraná. Conventional procedures for isolation and identification of Salmonella spp. were used. Colonies suspected with the genus Salmonella were tested serologically for flagellar H antigen and somatic antigen O. Faecal samples were also subjected to sedimentation and centrifugal flotation with zinc sulfate techniques to identify gastrointestinal parasites. Out of 52 excreta samples examined, 7 samples revealed large number of coccidian oocysts per field, highlighting the need to implement preventive measures to reduce the number of oocysts eliminated in animals. All samples were negative for the presence of Salmonella spp. Despite the lack of positive results for Salmonella spp. in samples of excreta of the birds in this study, control measures should be taken so that they are not a source of risk to human health.
