Estado Actual Del Conocimiento De Helmintos en Aves Silvestres De Chile

Abstract

RESUMENSe revisaron un total de treinta y tres trabajos en helmintos de aves silvestres en Chile. Identificándose 22 familias y 34 géneros de helmintos. Entre las aves hospederas identificadas, los órdenes Chraradriiformes y Pelecaniformes presentan la mayor cantidad de registros. Este trabajo complementa la lista parcial elaborada por Cattan (1995).PALABRAS CLAVES: Helmintos, aves, Chile. ABSTRACTIn Chile 33 publications of wild bird helminths were reviewed. 22 families and 34 genues of helminths were identified. Among the host birds, the orders Charadriiformes and Pelecaniformes were the most frequently reported. This study complements the partial list elaborated by Cattan (1995).

Helminths ofMilvago chimango temucoensis(Aves: Falconiformes) from Los Ríos Region, Chile: New Records for Neotropical Raptors

“…The predation, viscera intake or spreading of these fi shes by the fi shermen are contributing to the fi sh-eating birds infection (Torres et al, 1991b). In Chile C. rudolphii s. l., has been identifi ed in Charadriiformes, Podicipediformes and Pelecaniformes (Hinojosa-Sáez & González-Acuña, 2005). Contracaecum spp.…”

“…In Chile, most of the parasitological surveys have been performed on veterinary relevant avian species; therefore the surveys dedicated to free-living birds are scarce and sporadically performed, being subjected to random or unintended fi ndings. Wild birds most commonly studied correspond to kelp gull Larus dominicanus Lichtenstein 1823 (Charadriiformes, Laridae) and neotropic cormorant Phalacrocorax brasilianus Gmelin 1789 (Pelecaniformes, Phalacrocoracidae) (Hinojosa-Sáez & González-Acuña, 2005). …”

Gastrointestinal helminths and related histopathological lesions in black-necked swans Cygnus melancoryphus from the Carlos Anwandter Nature Sanctuary, Southern Chile

“…Paré & Black (1999) reported Dendritobilharzia sp. from Phoenicopterus chilensis Molina, 1782 (Phoenicopteriformes) in a Canadian zoo; however, the authors speculated that these birds arrived parasitized from Chile; thus, this finding represents the only reported case from a Chilean wild anatid (see HINOJOSA-SÁEZ & GONZÁLEZ-ACUÑA, 2005). Therefore, this finding is crucial given the high prevalence recorded and the presence of eggs in mucosa, suggesting that C. melancoryphus is a suitable final host (PENNYCOTT, 1998).…”

Gastrointestinal and ectoparasites of plumbeous rail, Pardirallus sanguinolentus (Aves: Rallidae) in Central Chile

“…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).…”
