Presença De Endoparasitos Das Famílias Eimeriidae E Ascarididae Em Codornas Japonesas Na Região Metropolitana Do Vale Do Rio Cuiabá-Mt

Abstract

Diseases caused by endoparasites trigger serious health problems, harming the development and production of birds. The objective of this study was to diagnose the presence of eggs and oocysts of Ascarididae and Eimeriidae parasites in Japanese quail excreta using the Willis-Mollay technique in the metropolitan region of the Cuiabá river valey, state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. Eggs and oocysts of the family Eimeriidae was found in 40% of the samples and the family Ascarididae in about 56% of the collected samples. The high parasite rate is a consequence of inadequate management of excreta, as well as lack of use or misuse of coccidiostats as food additives.

Morphological and molecular evidences of Ascaridia galli in migratory quail Coturnix coturnix japonica from Baluchistan Pakistan

“…This might be due to difference in bird species, different environmental factors like temperature and humidity, duration of migration period etc. Similar kind of study was also conducted Mouricio Silva Rosa et al (2017) in Brazil in which the prevalence of A. galli in quail was 20%. Monte et al (2018) observed that 16.1% had mixed infection of A. galli, in Japanese quails in Amazon region among 31 quails.…”
