Abstract: We report for first time the presence of nematode, Ascaridia hermaphrodita Froelich, 1789, parasiting small intestine of a Blue-Headed Parrot (Pionus menstruus Linnaeus, 1776). The specimen was sent to Avian Pathology Laboratory of Veterinary School of San Marcos University, Lima, Peru. Eighteen nematodes (12 females and 6 males) were studied and identified as A. hermaphrodita. The dicovery of this specie in P. menstruus is the first record in Perú.

“…Hodová et al (2008) reported that five species of Ascaridia are frequent in Psittaciformes; A. platyceri and A. hermaphrodita are the most common. In Brazil, Pinto et al (1993) reported A. hermaphrodita as specific of psittacines of genuses Amazona, Anodorhynchus, Ara, Aratinga, Brotogeris, Conurus, Pyrrhura, Psittacus and Pionus; this fact corroborates studies on psittacines in Argentina, Chile and Peru (MARTÍNEZ et al, 2003;MASELLO et al, 2006;GONZÁLEZ-ACUÑA et al, 2007;GÓMEZ-PUERTA et al, 2008).…”

“…Parasitic infections are one of the major health problems of wild birds kept in captivity (RITCHIE et al, 1994;GÓMEZ-PUERTA et al, 2008;OLIVEIRA et al, 2011). Damage to the host and symptoms depend on the pathogenicity and intensity of infection and general condition of the animal (immune competence) (GODOY, 2007).…”

“…Blue-fronted parrots are frequently reported as hosts of A. hermaphrodita (5,9). In 36.4% of the necropsied Blue fronted parrots that presented ascaridiasis, low weight or cachexia was observed, in addition to the occurrence of secondary diseases due to the debility presented by the birds.…”
