External and gastrointestinal parasites of the Franklin's Gull, Leucophaeus pipixcan (Charadriiformes: Laridae), in Talcahuano, central Chile. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2020; 29:e016420.

Abstract
Parasitological studies of the Franklin's gull, Leucophaeus pipixcan, are scarce, and knowledge about its endoparasites is quite limited. In order to describe its parasitic community, a total of 60 Franklin's gulls were captured in the coastal area in central Chile, using modified Bal-chatri traps. Ectoparasites were collected from all 60 live individuals through inspection of their plumage, while 30 were examined for endoparasites by standard parasitological necropsy. The prevalence of ectoparasites was 78.3%, including the feather mite Zachvatkinia larica (43.3%) and four species of lice: Actornithophilus piceus lari (15.0%), Austromenopon transversum (6.7%), Quadraceps punctatus (10.0%) and Saemundssonia lari (46.7%). Some 25 of 30 (83.3%) of birds necropsied were parasitized with the following helminths: Aporchis sp. (6.7%), Tetrabothrius cylindraceus (56.7%), Cyclophyllidea gen. sp. (3.3%), Profilicollis altmani (56.7%), Eucoleus contortus (10.0%), Cosmocephalus obvelatus (13.3%), Paracuaria adunca (10.0%), Stegophorus sp. (3.3%) and Tetrameres skrjabini (3.3%). To our knowledge, with the exception of P. altmani, these helminths are reported for first time in the Franklin's gull.

Occurrence of helminth parasites in the gastrointestinal tract of wild birds from Wildlife Rehabilitation and Investigation Centre of Ria Formosa in southern Portugal. VETERINARY PARASITOLOGY- REGIONAL STUDIES AND REPORTS 2016; 8:13-20. [PMID: 31014630 DOI: 10.1016/j.vprsr.2016.12.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2016] [Revised: 12/06/2016] [Accepted: 12/16/2016] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
This study was carried out in southern Portugal to determine the prevalence of parasitic helminths infecting wild birds. Between September and December of 2013, adult parasites were collected from the gastrointestinal tract of 22 bird specimens (belonging to 12 species) that died in Wildlife Rehabilitation and Investigation Centre of the Ria Formosa. Identified gastrointestinal parasites include the nematodes (Contracaecum sp., Cosmocephalus obvelatus, Desportesius invaginatus, Dispharynx nasuta, Porrocaecum angusticolle and Synhimantus laticeps) and cestodes (Diplophallus sp., Neyraia intricata and Tetrabothrius sp.). The overall level of infection was 54.5% (12/22) and the most frequent helminths present were nematodes (40.9% - 9/22), followed by cestodes (13.6% - 3/22). Helminthic richness was similar in all birds (one species or genera per bird) and the helminth species, except Dispharynx nasuta, exhibited a clear relationship with host diet. Five helminth species (Cosmocephalus obvelatus, Desportesius invaginatus, Dispharynx nasuta, Porrocaecum angusticolle and Neyraia intricata) and two genera (Contracaecum sp. and Diplophallus sp.) were reported for the first time in Portugal and the presence of P. angusticolle in Bonelli's eagle was recorded for the first time across all researched literature.
