Abstract: Paratanaisia are eucotylidae digeneans that affect the upper urinary tract of birds. This genus contains three species (Paratanaisia bragai, P. robusta, and P. confusa) with similar morphological features. Macroscopic and microscopic damage caused by these parasites ranges from the irrelevant to significant lesions. This study aimed to describe the histological, morphological, and molecular features of the renal tissues and parasite specimens obtained from naturally infected free-ranging and captive wild birds… Show more

“…In this regard, they have developed a variety of morphological and functional adaptations to a parasitic lifestyle (Fischer et al, 2017;Hoai, 2020). One of them is high fecundity, which makes it possible to quickly and widely disperse and find hosts (De Santi et al, 2018). Therefore, the study of the reproductive apparatus of helminths is the main problem in parasitology.…”

“…These trematodes have been reported in a wide range of bird species (GOMES et al, 2005;TAVELA et al, 2014;XAVIER et al, 2015;MOMO et al, 2016;SANTI et al, 2017), testifying to their low definitive host specificity. Infections have been described in both free-living and zoo-housed Psittaciformes, including macaws (Ara ararauna and Propyrrhura maracana), parakeets (Pyrrhura leucotis, Eupsittula aurea, Psittacara leucophthalmus, and Brotogeris chiriri), parrots (Amazona amazonica and Amazona aestiva), and cockatiels (N. hollandicus) (LUPPI et al, 2007;SILVA et al, 2016;SANTI et al, 2018). Like other digeneans, Paratanaisia have a heteroxenous cycle with gastropod mollusks acting as the intermediate hosts and birds as the definitive hosts.…”

“…Columbiformes have often been described as hosts for Paratanaisia spp. (UNWIN et al, 2012;XAVIER et al, 2015;SANTI et al, 2018), probably due to their habit of feeding on a wide variety of items such as grains, seeds, insects, and small invertebrates (SICK, 1997). Such feeding habits combined with their synanthropic nature could make them a source of trematodes infection and dissemination.…”
