“…Apart from the records on their breeding behavior, behavioral records of seriemas in captivity are scarce. The few studies examining the behavior Studies on seriema parasites are the sole example of a research topic that has been widely explored both in wild (Price 1968, Hellenthal et al 2001, Brum et al 2003, Marietto-Gonçalves et al 2009, Sousa et al 2010, Lunaschi and Drago 2012, Lunaschi et al 2015, Luz et al 2016) and captive birds (Teixeira et al 2008, da Silva et al 2009, Marietto-Gonçalves et al 2012, Snak et al 2014, Martins et al 2017. Of particular interest are those studies on potentially zoonotic parasites (Marietto-Gonçalves et al 2008, Vitaliano et al 2014, as people and seriemas can live in close proximity (Boyle 1917, Alvarsson 2012, Alexandrino et al 2019, and in some locations people hunt seriemas for food (Altrichter 2006, Alvarsson 2012.…”

Red-legged Seriemas (Cariama cristata) and Black-legged Seriemas (Chunga burmeisteri) are two exclusively South American species that inhabit open and sparsely forested areas. Seriemas have been recently included with the raptors based on ecological and evolutionary evidence. Viewing seriemas as raptors is nontraditional and might be controversial. Therefore, further information regarding the evolution, taxonomy, morphology, and ecology of these birds will clarify the validity of their consideration as raptors. Here we present a review of the published information on seriemas, and discuss future research for these newly adopted raptors. To conduct our review, we developed a systematic map and searched all databases available within Clarivate Analytics' Web of Science, performed a keyword search of Google Scholar, and included the corresponding bibliographies from the Birds of the World website. We reviewed 98 studies, and found that the Red-legged Seriema was the subject of more studies than the Black-legged Seriema. Overall, Brazil and Argentina were the site of most studies. The majority of studies examined physiology (48), followed by behavior (37), threats to the survival of these species (36), and demography (27), while smaller numbers of studies examined stressors (e.g., habitat changes, causes of mortality and injury such as predation, hunting, etc.) (20), and conservation actions (10). Patterns of study categorizations were similar for both species, and the distribution of studies across months was also fairly even for both species. This is the first study to systematically review and assess the published information on seriemas. Our results show the topics and locations on which past studies have focused, and highlight potentially fruitful avenues for future research. Although threats to seriemas have been identified, these have not been thoroughly assessed; thus, their extent and effects on seriema populations were difficult to ascertain. Future research should focus on testing existing hypotheses regarding seriema feeding, vocalization, social, and territorial behaviors, while documenting natural history. Researchers should build on past investigations while establishing programs to monitor the conservation status of seriemas across their ranges.

“…Centrorhynchus spinosus Kaiser, 1893 was recently recovered from Bubo maguellanicus (Lesson) in Chile (Grandón-Ojeda et al ., 2018). In Argentina, specimens of C. guira were found parasitizing Guira guira (Gmelin) (the guira cuckoo) and Theritiscus caudatus (Boddaert) (the buff-necked ibis) (Lunaschi and Drago, 2010; Lunaschi et al , 2015). Also recently one immature male specimen of Centrorhynchus sp.…”

Centrorhynchus nahuelhuapensisn. sp. (Acanthocephala: Centrorhynchidae) from rufous-legged owl (Strix rufipesKing) in Patagonia

Centrorynchus nahuelhuapensis n. sp. is described from the intestine of Strix rufipes, the rufous-legged owl, in Patagonia, Argentina. This species is characterized by the presence of 31–33 hook rows with 16–17 hooks per row, distributed as follows: 5 true hooks, 4 transitional hooks with 4 alate processes, more evident in the first three, 7–8 spiniform hooks, and three cement glands. It differs from most members of the genus by having a filiform body, the arrangement and size of the hooks, the number of cement glands, and egg size. Part of the SSU and LSU genes were sequenced and compared to those in GenBank. Sequences are most similar to other species of Centrorhynchus, supporting their placement within this genus. We present the first molecular study for a species of Centrorhynchus from South America. Additionally, it is the second species of the genus described in Argentina, and the first species of a terrestrial acanthocephalan from a bird in Patagonia.

Digeneans and acanthocephalans of birds from Formosa Province, Argentina

Abstract: SummaryThe aim of this paper is to increase the knowledge on the diversity of digenean parasites from birds collected in northeastern Argentina. The helminthological survey of four bird species revealed the presence of five digenean species and one acanthocephalan species.
