Sobre os Nematoda Capillariinae parasitas de esophago e papo de aves

Eucoleus contortus (Nematoda: Capillariidae), a parasite of Cairina moschata domestica (Anseriformes: Anatidae) on Marajó Island, Pará State, in Brazilian Amazon

“…Muscovy ducks are extensively reared in most part of Brazil, and on the Marajó Island they are of great importance to the human populations as a source of food, although there are few data on their parasitic fauna. In Brazil, the first record of bird parasitic nematodes was made by Travassos (1915) in Anseriformes, Charadriiformes, Passeriformes, and Falconiformes, followed by Freitas & Almeida (1935) in Passeriformes, Anseriformes, Charadriiformes, Falconiformes, and Galliformes; Freitas et al (1959) in Galliformes, Piciformes and Psittaciformes, Mattos et al (2008) in Anseriformes and Stapf et al (2013) in Anseriformes. Although Brazil is one of the main refuges for resident and visiting birds, in discussions of work related to the parasites of these animals, only Vicente et al (1995) has reviewed nematodes in birds in Brazil.…”

“…Moreover, there are still problems with the correct identification of these parasites, and at present the classification system is based mainly on the morphology of males (MORAVEC & JUSTINE, v. 28, n. 4, oct.-dec. 2019 693/699 693 Eucoleus contortus of Muscovy duck 2010). This fact often results in descriptions of species lacking elucidative morphological data (FREITAS & ALMEIDA, 1935;MORAVEC, 1982;STAPF et al, 2013).…”

Trichurid nematodes in ring-necked pheasants from backyard flocks of the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: frequency and pathology

“…Worldwide reported species of this group, parasitizing ringnecked pheasants and according to the classification proposed by Moravec (1982), are: Eucoleus perforans (Kotlán & Orosz, 1931), E. annulatus (Molin, 1858), E. contortus (Creplin, 1839), Capillaria uropapillata Freitas & Almeida, 1935 parasitizing the crop and esophagus mucosa, Aonchotheca caudinflata (Molin, 1858), Baruscapillaria obsignata (Madsen, 1945) infecting the small intestine, C. phasianina Kotlán, 1940 in the small intestine and cecum and C. collaris (Linstow, 1873) in the cecum (Freitas & Almeida 1935, 1936, Reis & Nobrega 1938, Madsen 1941, 1951, Freitas et al 1959, Clapham 1961, Bickford & Gaafar 1966, Kellogg & Prestwood 1968, Barus & Sergejeva 1989a. Costa et al (1986) and Vicente et al (1995) listed four species of trichurid worms parasitizing Brazilian ringnecked pheasants: C. phasianina, C. uropapillata, E. annulatus, and E. perforans.…”

Checklist of the nematode parasites of wild birds of Argentina

“…Coll (Helminthological Collection of the Institute of Parasitology, Biology Centre of the Czech Academy of Sciences, České Budějovice, Czech Republic); MLP-He, sometimes as CHMLP in the original papers (Colección Helmintológica del Museo de La Plata, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina); USNM (United States National Museum, National Museum of Natural History, Washington, U.S.A.), also cited with a previous acronym USNPC (United States National Parasite Collection); NHMUK (The Natural History Museum, London, U.K.), sometimes as BMNH (British Museum of Natural History) in the original papers; MNHN (Muséum (1973). Comment: cited as Capillaria penidoi Freitas & Almeida, 1935. The genus Eucoleus was considered synonymous of Capillaria by Anderson et al (2009), although both genera are so far considered valid (Moravec, 2001;Gibbons, 2010).…”
