“…For instance, C. aluconis is considered as an owl parasite in Europe (Kutzer et al, 1982;Kritscher 1985;Ewald & Crompton, 1993;McInnes et al, 1994;Sitko 1994;Dimitrova et al, 1995;Ferrer et al 2004;Dimitrova & Dimitrova 2012;Santoro et al, 2012b;Lisitsyna & Greben, 2015), but it has sometimes been observed also in diurnal raptors (Yamaguti 1963, Illescas Gomez et al 1993Borgsteede et al 2003, Sitko 2011. On the other hand, C. buteonis has been documented not only in Falconiformes and Accipitriformes, but also in owls, especially in the Strix genus (Furmaga, 1957;Yamaguti, 1963;Michálek, 1984;Kritscher, 1985;Sitko 2011;Dimitrova & Dimitrova, 2012;Shirazi et al, 2014). The widest host range, as confi rmed by the above mentioned authors, was observed in C. globocaudatus, primarily infecting diurnal raptors (Sanmartín et al, 2004;Lisitsyna & Greben, 2015).…”

SummaryIn the years 2012-2014, carcasses of 286 birds of prey from the territory of Slovakia were examined for the presence of helminth parasites. The number of bird species in the study was 23; fi ve belonging to the Falconiformes order, eleven to Accipitriformes, and seven to Strigiformes. A fi nding of Cestoda class comprehended 4 families: Paruterinidae (4), Dilepididae (2), Mesocestoididae (2) and Anoplocephalidae (1). Birds of prey were infected with 6 families Nematoda species of the Secernentea class: Syngamidae (1), Habronematidae (2), Tetrameridae (3), Physalopteridae (1), Acuariidae (1), and Anisakidae (2). Out of the Adenophorea class, the Capillariidae family (1) was confi rmed. The Acanthocephala group was represented by the Paleacanthocephala class, the Centrorhynchidae family (3). Out of the Trematoda class, 12 different species of fl ukes were found, belonging to the Diplostomidae (5), Cyathocotylidae (1), Strigeidae (4), Opistorchidae (1), and Plagiorchidae (1) families. The most frequent helminth species infecting diurnal birds of prey was Strigea falconis. This fl uke was confi rmed in one bird species from the Falconiformes order and in eight species from the Accipitriformes order. In nocturnal birds of prey, the most common fi nding was the acanthocephalan Centrorhynchus aluconis, identifi ed in four different host species of the Strigiformes order. In total, 23 helminth species were recorded for the fi rst time in Slovakia.

Acanthocephalans of the genus Centrorhynchus (Palaeacanthocephala: Centrorhynchidae) of birds of prey (Falconiformes) and owls (Strigiformes) in Slovakia

Three species of thorny-headed worms of the genus Centrorhynchus were found to parasitize birds of prey and owls in the territory of the Slovakia during the years 2012-2014. Out of 286 examined bird individuals belonging to 23 species, only Buteo buteo, Buteo rufinus, Falco tinnunculus (Falconiformes), Asio otus, Strix aluco, Strix uralensis and Tyto alba (Strigiformes) were infected by acanthocephalans. All the bird species except for S. aluco represent new host records for Slovakia. The most prevalent acanthocephalan Centrorhynchus aluconis was detected in all 15 examined birds of non-migratory Ural owl S. uralensis (P = 100%); however, it was found occasionally also in two individuals of the tawny owl S. aluco (P = 20%), one long-eared owl A. otus (P = 7.7%), one barn owl T. alba (P = 33.3%) and the common buzzard B. buteo (P = 0.8%). Two other thorny-headed worms occurred exclusively in Falconiformes in raw or mixed infections: Centrorhynchus buteonis was found in 11 individuals of B. buteo (P = 9.2%), and two birds (B. buteo and B. rufinus) were parasitized simultaneously by C. buteonis and the species Centrorhynchus globocaudatus. Moreover, the latest, relatively rare acanthocephalan was found alone in two common kestrels F. tinnunculus (P = 2.7%). Regarding intensity of infection, it ranged from a single female of C. buteonis, C. globocaudatus or C. aluconis per host (four cases) to a maximum of 82 C. aluconis per an Ural owl. The difference in acanthocephalan species spectrum between birds of prey and owls in Slovakia was apparent.
