Checklist of the parasites of the black-necked swan, Cygnus melanocoryphus (Aves: Anatidae), with new records from Chile

Abstract: Black-necked swans (Cygnus melanocoryphus) are endemic to the southern cone of South America. Their range extends from Brazil and Paraguay south to Argentina and Chile. A total of 16 parasite species were collected from 7 swans from the Biobio region, Chile, of which 12 are new records for Chile and 11 represent new host records, Echinostoma trivolvis, Paranomostomum sp., Microsomacanthus sp., Nadejdolepis sp., Retinometra sp., Avioserpens sp., Capillaria skrjabini, Ingrassia cygni, Anatoecus penicillatus, A. … Show more

“…As was noted in previous studies E. vogelsangi is a parasite from the gizzard (GONZÁLEZ-ACUÑA et al, 2010;AGÜERO et al, 2016;VALENZUELA et al, 2018), both under the koilin layer of the gastric pads, as well as in the muscle wall. In South America, this parasite seems to be restricted to the black-necked swan, reported in Argentina, Brazil (MCDONALD, 1969;FEDYNICH & THOMAS, 2008;AGÜERO et al, 2016), and Chile (GONZÁLEZ-ACUÑA et al, 2010;VALENZUELA et al, 2018). Present study is the first to provide information about pathology caused by this parasite.…”

“…Additional capillarid species have been recorded in C. melancoryphus from Chile: Capillaria sp. and Capillaria skrjabini (Lubimova, 1947) Moravec, 1982(GONZÁLEZ-ACUÑA et al, 2010VALENZUELA et al, 2018). There are no data regarding the pathogenesis of C. pudendotecta; however, there are data for other cecal capillarids, including Capillaria phasianina Kotlan, 1940, which caused generalized typhlitis with worms penetrating the mucosa with infiltration of heterophiles and lymphocytes, and also fibrosis and necrosis of the mucosa (PINTO et al, 2004).…”

“…The parasites were in the final portion of the small intestine and a few were identified in the caecum. These parasites have a worldwide distribution and there are several records of its existence in Chile (e.g., HINOJOSA-SÁEZ & GONZÁLEZ-ACUÑA, 2005;GONZÁLEZ-ACUÑA et al, 2010;VALDEBENITO et al, 2015). Among all members of this genus, Capillaria fulicae Pavlov & Borgarenko (1959) is often found in rallid birds from North America (KINSELLA, 1973;KINSELLA et al, 1973).…”
