E-mail: ayresmcc@gmail.com This study evaluated the occurrence of gastrointestinal parasites in 53 psittacines created in Ecological Parks around Salvador, Bahia. The places chosen for the experiment were: Wild Animal Screening Center Chico Mendes (CETAS), Park and Haras D’Amato and Park Zoobotânico GetulioVargas. The samples were analyzed at the Laboratory of Parasitic diseases of animals at the Universidade Federal da Bahia through the method of Willis-Mollay. Of analyzed samples 39,62% (21/53) were negative and 60.38% (32/53) positive. The following parasites were found: Capillaria spp. (31.25% - 10/32);. Ascaridia sp. (65.62% - 21/32) and Heterakis sp. (25% - 8/32). Considering that the positive samples 21.87% (7/32) was obtained from birds with mixed infections. It is necessary to carry out monitoring of the health of these birds, mostly for riding assessments. |
