“…Parasites of the genus Haemonchus, although recovered from the feces during all months of the experiment, showed higher prevalence in the drier periods, while for Cooperia this occurred in the wetter months (Table 1). These findings are in agreement with those of various other studies conducted in tropical regions (Vázquez et al, 2004;Jiménez et al, 2007;Oliveira et al, 2009). Among the strongylids, Haemonchus is the genus that has the greatest reproductive capacity and most flexible adaptability to diverse climate conditions, while Cooperia is considered the most cosmopolitan genus, with high migration capacity (Araujo and Lima, 2005;Jiménez et al, 2007).…”

“…Correlations between bronchopulmonary parasite load and host sex, age and body weight, different altitudes, geographic area, temperature (maximum and minimum), relative humidity, rainfall, forage availability and dry matter intake have been reported in different studies (e.g. Morrondo-Pelayo et al, 1992;Díez-Bañ os et al, 1994;Berrag and Urquhart, 1996;Nahed-Toral et al, 2003;Alemu et al, 2006;Jimé nez et al, 2007). Controversially, no correlations or negative correlations have been described between parasite load and the factors mentioned above (e.g.…”

A B S T R A C TThe present investigation examined the prevalence and abundance of bronchopulmonary nematodes in 213 randomly hunted Iberian ibexes (Capra pyrenaica) (87 females and 126 males) in the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Spain between 2003 and 2006. Post mortem examination revealed an overall prevalence of 72% for adult nematodes (Cystocaulus ocreatus 44%, Muellerius capillaris 44%, Protostrongylus sp. 40%, and Dictyocaulus filaria 4%). The abundances were 13.45 ± 3.97, 5.18 ± 2.49, 6.36 ± 2.16, and 2.27 ± 0.46, respectively. Protostrongylid adults showed similar infection rates, which were statistically different from that of D. filaria. 20% of the examined Iberian ibexes were infected by three protostrongylid nematodes species, 24% of C. pyrenaica were affected by two protostrongylid species, while infestations with only one protostrongylid species were detected in 20% of the examined animals. The overall prevalence of larvae nematodes in the examined animals was 100%, and the overall abundance (number of the first stage larvae per gram) was 86.45 ± 20.63. There was a high correlation between the two sets of data (adults and larvae). Results of the present investigation provided foundation for the effective control of bronchopulmonary nematode infection in Iberian ibex..

“…Los parásitos descritos en este estudio han sido ampliamente analizados en bovinos de Costa Rica (Jiménez et al 2007;Jiménez et al 2010). Actualmente no se cuenta con información que correlacione la carga parasitaria de los animales con el estado de salud, pues el desarrollo de cuadros clínicos responde a una dinámica multivariable y dependiente de factores inmunes.…”

Resumen: La jirafa (Giraffa camelopardalis reticulata), es una especie de ungulado poligástrico, originario del continente africano cuyas poblaciones en cautiverio han aumentado de manera exponencial. Las enfermedades parasitarias se catalogan como una de las principales causas de mortalidad en esta especie. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue determinar las especies y géneros de parásitos gastrointestinales (PGI) en jirafas de cautiverio en Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Se analizó en total 37 muestras de heces de 10 jirafas procedentes de un centro turístico, las cuales se recolectaron de enero a mayo del 2017 en cuatro muestreos, excepto a una de ellas, nacida durante el estudio. El muestreo se realizó al momento de la defecación. Las heces fueron transportadas en frío a una temperatura de ≈4 o C, y remitidas al Laboratorio de Parasitología de la Escuela de Medicina Veterinaria de la Universidad Nacional. Las muestras fueron procesadas por técnicas coprológicas (Sheather y sedimentación) para determinar la presencia de huevos de nematodos, trematodos y cestodos; inmunológicas (FasTest® Crypto-Giardia Strip), para detectar parásitos zoonóticos como Cryptosporidium parvum y Giardia duodenalis; McMaster para determinar la carga parasitaria (huevos por gramos de heces= HPG) del grupo Strongylida y el coprocultivo para determinar el porcentaje de larvas infectantes (L3). El 100 % de las jirafas analizadas fueron positivas a PGI, teniendo toda la población parásitos del grupo Strongylida. Las L3 identificadas correspondieron a 100 % Haemonchus spp., 10 % Cooperia spp. y 20 % Strongyloides papillosus. No se encontraron PGI zoonóticos. El rango de HPG fluctuó de < 50 a 625. El porcentaje de larvas infectantes del grupo Strongylida identificadas por coprocultivo fue 100 % (10/10) de Haemonchus spp. y 10 % (1/10) de Cooperia spp. Únicamente una jirafa tuvo infección mixta por Haemonchus y Cooperia. Este estudio representa el primer reporte de la presencia de PGI en jirafas de Costa Rica, y es el primero que identifica Cooperia spp. y Strongyloides papillosus en el nivel mundial.

Parasitic diseases are classified as one of the main causes of mortality in this species. The objective of this work was to determine the species and / or genera of gastrointestinal parasites (GIP) in captive giraffes in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. A total of 37 fecal samples from 10 giraffes from a tourist center were analyzed. The samples were collected from January to May 2017 in four samples, except one of them which was born during the study. Sampling was done at the time of defecation. The feces were transported at a temperature of ≈4° C, and sent to the
