“…On the contrary, the data on taxonomy and systematics of these nematodes parasitizing hosts of the order Psittaciformes are very rare. For psittacine birds, a specific capillariid is probably Capillaria plagiaticia Freitas et Mendonça, 1959, found in Brazil (Freitas et al 1959 and New Zealand (Wakelin 1967). Schock and Cooper (1978) mention also the oesophageal capillariid Eucoleus contortus (Creplin, 1839) in budgerigars.…”

Kajerová V., V. Baru‰: Psittacine birds (Aves: Psittaciformes) as new hosts of Baruscapillaria obsignata (Nematoda: Capillariidae). Acta Vet. Brno 2005, 74: 571-574.The first record of Baruscapillaria obsignata (Capillariidae) in small intestine of three psittacine birds (Barnardius zonarius, Agapornis roseicollis and Melopsittacus undulatus) kept in captivity in the Czech Republic is described. Morphometry of nematode species parasitizing psittacine birds was found to be identical with that of the parasites from typical hosts, domestic and free-living columbiform birds. Epizootiological aspects of interchange of this nematode species, and others (ascariids, capillariids, oxyurids) among domestic birds (Galliformes, Columbiformes), free-living birds (Passeriformes) and psittacine birds (Psittaciformes) kept in captivity are discussed.

“…The recovery of C. tridens from corvid hosts may throw some light on the species ' C. reseda' described by Hoa (1960) from Garrulus glandarius in France. As pointed out by Wakelin (1967) this species is certainly not C. reseda (Dujardin, 1845) and it shows some similarities to C. tridens.…”

The capillariid nematodes present in passeriform hosts collected in Taiwan are recorded and described. Two new species are established, Capillaria parusi sp.n. from Parus monticolus insperatus and Sitta europaea formosana, and C. madseni sp.n. from Corvus macrorhynchus colonorum, and their affinities are discussed. Capillaria tridens, C. longifila and C. contorta are recorded from a number of new hosts.

“…These relate only to the species Capillaria plagiaticia from Aratinga cactorum (Kuhl) in Brazil and, subsequently, from Nestor notabilis Gould in New Zealand (Wakelin, 1967a). In both cases, the hosts were kept in captivity in zoological gardens.…”

A new species of Pterothominx Freitas, 1959 (Nematoda: Capillariidae) parasitising psittacine birds (Psittaciformes)

A new species, Pterothominx (Pterothominx) moraveci n. sp. (Trichinelloidea: Capillariidae) is described from an Australian parrot, Barnardius zonarius Shaw (Psittacidae: Psittaciformes), imported from Germany and kept in captivity in the Czech Republic. Males of the new taxon differ from all other species of the subgenus Pterothominx Freitas, 1959, which mainly parasitise galliform birds, in having a shorter spicule (0.925-1.338; mean 1.050 mm), a shorter body length and a different form of armed spicular sheath and bursa. Females differ in having the smallest eggs (40-50 x 20-25; mean 48 x 23 microm) and in other morphometrical characters. From the species P. (P.) totani (Linstow, 1875), which parasitises charadriiform birds, the new species differs in its smaller number of stichocytes (females 42-46, mean 44; versus 50-54), different form of the bursa and praebursal alae, and other characters. This is the only species of Pterothominx that parasitises psittacine birds.
