“…Species of the genus Neodiplostomum Railliet, 1919 infects both mammals and birds (HONG & SHOOP, 1994). Nevertheless, some parasite species within the genus appear to be specific to a certain group of hosts; for instance, Richardson & Kinsella (2010) ; WOODYARD et al, 2017), N. reflexum (CHANDLER & RAUSCH, 1947;GALLAS & SILVEIRA, 2013), and N. delicatum (KINSELLA et al, 2001). The poor condition of these two collected specimens makes species identification impossible.…”

To describe the parasitic community of the Magellanic Horned Owl, Bubo magellanicus (Aves, Strigiformes), 19 carcasses from central Chile were analyzed. Ectoparasites were collected through plumage inspection, while endoparasites were collected through traditional techniques of parasitological necropsy. Sixteen owls were infected with at least one species of ectoparasite (84.21%) or endoparasite (31.58%). Eleven of 19 birds (57.89%) harbored feather mites of the three species Pandalura cirrata (42.11%), Glaucalges attenuatus (47.37%), and Kramerella sp. (10.53%), whereas 16 individuals (84.21%) harbored the chewing louse Strigiphilus chilensis. Only six birds (31.58%) were infected with helminths; the nematodes Capillaria tenuissima (26.32%) and Dispharynx nasuta (5.26%); the acanthocephalan Centrorhynchus spinosus (5.26%); and the trematode Neodiplostomum sp. (5.26%). Apart from S . chilensis, all parasites comprised new records for B . magellanicus.

“…In Chile, this nematode was previously recorded from M. chimango (San Martín et al, 2006;Oyarzún-Ruiz et al, 2016) and Bubo magellanicus (Gmelin, 1788) (Grandón-Ojeda et al, 2018). Other capillarids reported from raptors include the following genera: Baruscapillaria Moravec, 1982;Eucoleus Diyardin, 1845;andPterothominx Freitas, 1959 (Borgsteede et al, 2003;Richardson & Kinsella, 2010;Santoro et al, 2010;González-Acuña et al, 2011;Oyarzún-Ruiz et al, 2016;Honisch & Krone, 2008). This species was not a prevalent nematode, as noted in previous studies (see Borgsteede et al, 2003;Sanmartín et al, 2004), which contrasts with the findings in M. chimango from Chile, which featured prevalence rates of up to 70% (San Martín et al, 2006;Oyarzún-Ruiz et al, 2016).…”

“…Porrocaecum depressum is an ascarid worm that parasitizes the small intestine of birds of prey around the world (Morgan & Schiller, 1950;Yamaguti, 1961;Baruš et al, 1978;Lamothe-Argumedo et al, 1997;Borgsteede et al, 2003;Atkinson et al, 2008). Its life cycle is indirect, using earthworms as intermediate hosts and micromammals as paratenic hosts (Atkinson et al, 2008;Richardson & Kinsella, 2010). In Chile, it has been previously reported in Milvago chimango (Vieillot, 1816) (Falconiformes) (San Martín et al, 2006;Oyarzún-Ruiz et al, 2016).…”

“…Centrorhynchus Lühe, 1911 has been reported worldwide in several species of diurnal and nocturnal birds of prey, including Accipitriformes, Falconiformes, and Strigiformes (Travassos, 1926;Yamaguti, 1963;Illescas Gomez et al, 1993;Sanmartín et al, 2004;Papazahariadou et al, 2008;Richardson & Kinsella, 2010;Santoro et al, 2010;Komorová et al, 2017).

Birds of prey harbor a wide spectrum of various parasites, mostly with a heteroxenous life cycle. However, most reports on their parasites come from Europe. Although the Harris’s hawk (Parabuteo unicinctus) is a widespread species in America, parasitological surveys on this hawk are mostly focused on coprological findings and ectoparasites, with poor attention paid to helminths. The aim of this study was to gather new and additional data on host-parasite associations for the Harris’s hawk. Twenty-nine birds from central and southern Chile were necropsied. Further, nine birds from a rehabilitation center and 22 museum specimens were inspected for ectoparasites. Sixty-eight percent of birds hosted at least one parasite species. Four lice species, one mite species and eight helminth species (five nematodes, two platyhelminthes and one acanthocephalan) were recorded. Parasitic lice Colpocephalum nanum and Nosopon chanabense, and a nematode Cyathostoma (Hovorkonema) americana were recorded for the first time in raptors from the Neotropics. A feather mite, Pseudalloptinus sp., nematodes, Physaloptera alata and Microtetrameres sp., and a trematode Neodiplostomim travassosi, were recorded for the first time in Chile. The presence of diverse heteroxenous helminths reported here in the Harris’s hawk could be explained by the generalist diet of this raptor.

New data on Neodiplostomum americanum Chandler and Rausch, 1947 (Digenea: Diplostomidae), in the Great Horned Owl Bubo virginianus Gmelin, 1788 and the Eastern Screech Owl Megascops asio Linnaeus, 1758 in Mississippi, USA

Neodiplostomum americanum Chandler and Rausch, 1947 has been reported from six species of owls in North America. At present, there are no molecular data for this species and gene sequence data from Neodiplostomum Railliet, 1919 are limited. A freshly deceased specimen of the Great Horned Owl Bubo virginianus Gmelin, 1788 and a freshly deceased specimen of the Eastern Screech Owl Megascops asio Linnaeus, 1758 were collected in Oktibbeha County, Mississippi in 2014 and 2016, respectively. Neodiplostomum americanum were recovered from both hosts. Herein, updated morphological descriptions are supplemented with gene sequence data from conserved (18S, ITS1-5.8S, ITS2, and 28S rRNA) and fast-evolving (cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 mtDNA) regions. Preliminary phylogenetic analysis of the genus based on cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene sequence data supports the placement of N. americanum within a discrete phylogroup of the family Diplostomidae. The life history of N. americanum is unknown and currently limited to the description of the adult stage in avian hosts. The molecular data generated in this study offer insight into the phylogenetic placement of N. americanum within the Diplostomatidae and will aid in identifying different life stages in putative intermediate hosts.
