“…In The biological cycle of S. (D.) nasuta is heteroxenous, using terrestrial isopods, orthopterans, beetles or millipedes (GOBLE & KUTZ, 1945). The larvae develop in non-specific tissues of isopods, in which they become encapsulated and are later on ingested by birds (ANDERSON, 2000).…”

“…Lunaschi et al (2015) redescribed Tanaisia dubia Freitas, in 1951, had created a key to the Neotropical species Tanaisia and a key to the Tanaisiinae genres that gives support in species (Vieillot, 1819) (Scolopacidae) in the same country. Tanaisia valida was identified in Charadrius wilsonia Ord, 1814 (Charadriidae) (n = 1) (P = 100%) (MI = 4) in Colombia (LUNASCHI et al 2015).About the life cycle of T. valida does not exist information, however considering the life cycle of Tanaisiinae, the birds become infected by ingesting (Mollusca: Gastropoda) containing metacercariae (LUNASCHI et al 2015).Diplotriaena Railliet & Henry, 1909, has parasitic specificity restricted to birds and is distributed among Anseriformes, Apodiformes, Galliformes, Charadriiformes, Columbiformes, Piciformes and Passeriformes, with wide geographic distribution (VICENTE et al, 1983; ATKINSON et al, 2009).In The biological cycle of S.

Information about helminths of Molothrus bonariensis (Gmelin, 1789) (Passeriformes: Icteridae) are scarce; in this sense the objective of this paper was to contribute to its knowledge. Five hosts of southern Brazil were examined and the helminths Prosthogonimus ovatus, Tanaisia valida (Digenea), Diplotriaena bargusinica and Synhimantus (Dispharynx) nasuta ( Keywords: Shiny cowbird, Trematoda, Nematoda, parasites. ResumoInformações sobre helmintos de Molothrus bonariensis (Gmelin, 1789) (Passeriformes: Icteridae) são escassas, nesse sentido, o objetivo do trabalho foi contribuir para esse conhecimento. Foram examinados cinco hospedeiros do extremo sul do Brasil, identificou-se os helmintos Prosthogonimus ovatus, Tanaisia valida (Digenea), Diplotriaena bargusinica e Synhimantus (Dispharynx) nasuta (Nematoda). As espécies T. valida, P. ovatus e S. (D.) nasuta são pela primeira vez registradas para a ave no Brasil. Prosthogonimus ovatus, T. valida, D. bargusinica e S. (D.) nasuta são pela primeira vez registradas em M. bonariensis no estado do Rio Grande do Sul.Palavras-chave: Vira-bosta, Trematoda, Nematoda, parasitos. Parasites are among the most common organisms in the world (HOBERG & KUTZ, 2013). They are extremely diversified and play a key role in ecological and evolutionary processes (GOMÉZ & NICHOLS, 2013). Parasitism is one of the most successful ways of living presented by living organisms (POULIN & MORAND, 2000).Birds are commonly parasitized by trematodes, nematodes, cestodes and acanthocephalans, as well as other groups . Taking into account the fact that Brazil presents one of the richest avifaunas in the world, much remains to be explored regarding this subject.Molothrus bonariensis (Gmelin, 1789) (Passeriformes: Icteridae), known as the shiny cowbird, occurs in South America, islands of Central America, United States and Canada (The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, 2015). In the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, they inhabit the entire state, where enormous flocks often gather in cereal crops, especially rice, during and after harvesting (BELTON, 1994). The male is black-feathered with bluish reflexes, and the female is brown. They feed on seeds and insects, and occasionally on fruits, and often can be seen near to cattle, turning over excrement to look for undigested seeds (EFE et al., 2001).Information regarding the shiny cowbird is mainly focused on the fact that this species lays its eggs in other birds' nests. In Brazil, approximately 60 species belonging to nine families of Passeriformes are affected by the action of the shiny cowbird. This species is entirely dependent on other bird species for its reproduction, because it has not only lost the ability to build its own nests but also the instinct of taking care of its offspring (BLANCO, 1995;SICK, 1997; EFE et al., 2001;MERMOZ & REBOREDA, 2003;ASTIÉ & REBOREDA, 2006).Regarding helminths in M. bonariensis in Brazil, there have been isolated reports of Lyperosomum oswaldoi (Travassos, 1919) (Trematoda: Dicrocoeliidae) (TRAVASSOS ...

“…In most avian species these worms cause only a mild nodular reaction in the mucosa and a small amount of inflammation. However in some species (American wood cock, ruffed grouse, blue grouse) D. nasuta acts as a primary pathogen (Goble and Kutz 1945). When present in large number (10 or more), the infection causes severe hyperplasia of proventricular glands.…”

“…Dispharynx (Acuaria) spiralis), also known as the 'proventricular worm', is a spirurid nematode parasite of the proventriculus of many passerine, columbiform and free ranging gallinaceous birds (Goble and Kutz 1945;Urquhart et al 1994). The nematodes attach by their anterior end to the mucosal epithelial cells initially causing ulceration at the site of attachment.…”

The nematodes Dispharynx spiralis (Superfamily-Spiruroidea, Family-Acuariidae) parasitising the proventriculus and Heterakis gallinarum (SuperfamilySubuluroidea, Family-Heterakidae) found in the caecum of two backyard poultry birds are described. The usual location of D. spiralis is glandular stomach or proventriculus, where their heads may be deeply buried in the proventricular wall. H. gallinarum occurs in the caecum and commonly called as caecal worm of poultry.
